Blue Box, originally titled Ao no Hako, is all set to return with a new season, bringing good news for anime fans who enjoyed its calm and realistic storytelling. The anime stood out for showing everyday school life through sports and emotions, rather than loud drama. After the first season ended earlier this year, viewers were waiting for a clear update on its future. That update finally arrived at the Jump Festa 2026 event. The makers officially revealed the first key visual for Blue Box Season 2 and confirmed its release window. Here’s everything you need to know about the anime.
Blue Box Season 2 is officially scheduled for a fall 2026 release, and based on the timeline shared at Jump Festa 2026, the new season is expected to premiere around October 2026. Viewers can expect the anime to premiere on Crunchyroll, and later it might also be released on Netflix.

This likely includes the voices of Taiki, Chinatsu, and Hina, who were important to the anime’s success.
