After a long silence and a schedule adjustment that worried many fans, the detective’s story and his unlucky assistant are ready to continue. The production of the second season of The Detective Is Already Dead (Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru.) revealed its third official trailer alongside a new promotional image, confirming that the series will return to screens on October 7.

The new video preview offered a deeper look at the surprises this continuation holds, officially introducing two new characters joining the plot. Voice actress Akari Komiyama will voice Mia Whitlock, while the renowned Nobuhiko Okamoto will take on the role of Scarlet. Although publisher Kadokawa initially planned to release these new episodes mid-year, the production team opted for extra months to refine details before their autumn arrival.

The main cast from the first installment will return almost entirely. Arata Nagai will reprise his role as troubled Kimihiko Kimizuka, alongside Saki Miyashita as unforgettable Siesta and Noches. The cast is rounded out by Ayana Taketatsu as Nagisa Natsunagi, Kanon Takao as Yui Saikawa, Saho Shirasu as Charlotte Arisaka Anderson, Mai Fuchigami as Fubi Kase, Yumiri Hanamori as Hell, Maria Naganawa as Alicia, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Komori.

Behind the scenes, studio ENGI takes charge of animation again, directed by Manabu Kurihara. Scripts will once more be handled by Deko Akao, while Yosuke Ito returns for character design. Composer 40mP is responsible for the soundtrack and wrote and arranged the main themes. Singer Kome will perform the opening titled “Kono Shinzo ni Hanabata wo,” while Kagura Nana will return to voice the ending “Hakuchumu.”
