But if the announcement also means that production has started, the best fans can hope for is for it to premiere within a year or in the fall of 2020.

The producers and its original network in Japan, Tokyo MX, might also want to avoid too much hiatus before releasing “That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime” season 2.

It would be best to maintain the show's momentum by ending the hiatus as soon as possible.
