Witch Hat Atelier Season 1 has only recently ended, and we now have confirmation that Witch Hat Atelier Season 2 is currently in production by Studio BUG FILMS and will be coming exclusively to Crunchyroll. While there is no official release date announced yet for the next season, Witch Hat Atelier Season 2 will pick up after the sinister Brimmed Caps attack the apprentices in the Serpentback Cave.
About the first season of the series, we said, “Witch Hat Atelier Season 1 is a gorgeous piece of art that blends whimsical, classical fantasy storytelling with coming-of-age themes and an omnipresent sense of urgency. Building on themes of grief, identity, loss, and the ways we navigate our lives through how we learn and who we learn alongside, the story is anchored in a web of complex emotions.

Ruled by a steady heart with an intuitive introspection that lends itself to a greater overarching narrative, Witch Hat Atelier is a standout adaptation and easily one of the best in years. And it’s only getting started. ”
Since the release of its first season, Witch Hat Atelier has garnered widespread praise for its lush visual storytelling and thoughtful themes of perseverance and belonging. Produced by BUG FILMS, Witch Hat Atelier Season 2 promises the same breathtaking hand-crafted animation and deeply moving narrative that captivated audiences and critics alike.
What is Witch Hat Atelier about?
The official synopsis from Crunchyroll is below:
In a world where only born witches can cast spells, Witch Hat Atelier follows the adventures of Coco, a bright-eyed girl determined to become a witch in a world where magic is a closely guarded secret. After a tragic accident while attempting forbidden magic, she is taken in by the magnificent witch Qifrey to learn the art and right her wrongs.
Based on Kamome Shirahama’s hit manga of the same name, Witch Hat Atelier is an ongoing manga that has sold over seven million copies worldwide, earning numerous international accolades, including the Eisner Award and Harvey Award. With its stunning artwork and magical, cozy feel (before the Brimmed Caps really muck things up), this manga, serialized by Kodansha, continues to capture the heart of readers everywhere.
Witch Hat Atelier Season 2 will continue the story of Coco and her fellow witches, as they deal with the aftermath of what happened at Serpentback Cave.
