In the spring of 2021, Netflix released the anime High-Rise Invasion, based on the manga of the same name. But when can fans expect a second season?
The student Yuri Honjo suddenly finds herself on the rooftop of a skyscraper in an unfamiliar world, with no way to leave the building. Trapped in a complex of skyscrapers connected by suspension bridges, she must fight for her survival as masked killers play a deadly game of cat and mouse.
High-Rise Invasion: Will there be a second season?
Currently, there is no official confirmation of a second season for High-Rise Invasion. Neither Netflix nor the animation studio Zero-G has announced a continuation. However, the chances for new episodes look promising. The action-packed series made it into Netflix’s Top Ten in several countries, gathering a considerable fanbase.
Moreover, the first season ended with a cliffhanger, leaving room for more episodes. Manga readers already know how the story continues, as the anime is based on the manga by Takahiro Oba and Tsuina Miura. There’s more than enough material for one or even multiple new seasons, giving fans reason to stay optimistic.

When will High-Rise Invasion Season 2 be released?
The first season premiered on Netflix on February 25, 2021. Despite its success, there is still no word on whether the series will continue. Since no official statement has been made yet, the release date remains speculative.
There are few clues as to when a sequel could arrive. Netflix usually doesn’t take too long to renew popular series, so if the anime is continued, we might see new episodes as early as 2024. In the meantime, those who don’t want to wait can dive into the manga*, which continues the story.
