Love Live! Sunshine!! Season 2's 1st Promo Video Reveals October Premiere

The official website for the Love Live! franchise began streaming the first promotional video on Saturday for the second season of the Love Live! Sunshine!! anime. The video reveals that the anime will premiere in October, and will air in Japan on Tokyo MX, KBS Kyoto, TV Aichi, TV Hokkaido, Sun TV, BS11, SBS, and TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting.



The new season will feature a returning cast and staff.

The first Love Live! Sunshine!! anime premiered in July 2016. Funimation, Crunchyroll, and Daisuki streamed the series outside of Japan.

The Love Live! Sunshine!! project was first announced in February 2015. The project's three key phrases are "Reader Participation," "Inspired by μ's," and "Seaside Town Setting." The group's name Aqours was chosen by fans by popular vote.

In 2010, the anime studio Sunrise, Lantis, and ASCII Media Works' Dengeki G Magazine launched Love Live! as a self-described "ultimate user-participation project" that lets its fans vote on the future of the fictional idols. The project inspired the first television anime season in 2013, and a second season followed in 2014. The Love Live! The School Idol Movie anime film then premiered in June 2015.

Crunchyroll streamed both seasons of the anime, and NIS Americareleased both seasons and the film on home video.
