Kadokawa announced KanColle season 2 would air in 2022 back in January, during the Chinjyufu New Year Live broadcast. However, production on the second season originally started back in 2015, after the first season ended. The series itself is an adaptation of the Kantai Collection mobile game which released in 2013. The second season will reportedly be a standalone project set in 1944, and will not have any direct relation to the first season.
KanColle season 2 will release in November 2022. The first season of the anime is available to watch on Crunchyroll and Funimation.
