Genius Prince Season 2: Renewal Status + Release Date Predictions
Genius Prince Season 2, when will it happen?
Diving into the world of fantasy comedy is a guilty pleasure for many anime fans as it offers an escape from real life while portraying intriguing stories.
One such series was available in the winter 2022 season as the anime adaption of Toru Toba hit the small screens.
The story is set in the country of the Kingdom of Natra, whose ruler, King Owen, has collapsed from illness. The kingdom suffers from long winters and a poor economy with increasing debts.
The job of running the kingdom has fallen on to Owen s’ highly competent son and now Prince Regent, Wein Salema Arbalest, who everyone likes.
He also has the beautiful Ninym Ralei as a friend and personal aid. Wein upholds his loveable and genius side in front of people, but internally he is conflicted.
While the prince rules the kingdom with an iron fist, he also laments the fate which has led him on this path.
Behind the scenes, he shows a treacherous attitude and is willing to sell the kingdom to the highest bidder, who will relieve him of his duties.
Since he wields the authority of the throne, no one can stop Wein from auctioning off the country and using the profits to retire in comfort.
All he needs to do is raise the value of the small kingdom to maximize his gains. But whether Wein’s grand plan will succeed remains to be seen, as his wit often surpasses even his own expectations, much to the benefit of the oblivious citizens of Natra.
On the other hand, Ninym is aware of his treasonous side, but she pushes him to do what is right because she knows he has the intelligence, foresight, diligence, and martial prowess to save the kingdom and everyone.
What is the future of the Kingdom of Natra, and how does Wein impact it is the central plot of the show.
Genius Prince Season One was a relative success as some fans enjoyed the premise and plot while others labeled it an average’ hero saves kingdom’ story.
Either way, fans who liked the show are wondering if there will be a second installment or not.

WHAT IS THE GENIUS PRINCE SEASON 2 RELEASE DATE?
Genius Prince Season One aired from 11th January 2022 to 29th March 2020 for 12 episodes.
As of writing, there is no update from the studio Yokohama Animation Laboratory on the renewal of Genius Prince Season 2.
SEASON | RELEASE DATE |
Genius Prince Season 1 | 11th January 2022 |
Genius Prince Season 2 | Yet to be Announced |
Production studios consider various financial and commercial metrics before announcing a renewal.
Financially, the anime provided a boost to the Genius Prince light novel sales as it became the 11th Best selling light novel of January 2022.
As mentioned earlier, Genius Prince Season One mainly received positive reviews. However, the anime was unfortunately released during the same time frame as How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom.
The two animes share the same premise, but How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom is well developed in portraying nitty-gritty politics and socioeconomic issues.
While Genius Prince isn’t as popular as Realist Hero, it certainly wasn’t bad, which is further evidenced by its IMDB user episode rating.
EPISODE | RATING |
Genius Prince Episode 1 | 7.3 |
Genius Prince Episode 2 | 7.3 |
Genius Prince Episode 3 | 7.3 |
Genius Prince Episode 4 | 8.0 |
Genius Prince Episode 5 | 7.8 |
Genius Prince Episode 6 | 7.4 |
Genius Prince Episode 7 | 7.5 |
Genius Prince Episode 8 | 7.0 |
Genius Prince Episode 9 | 6.6 |
Genius Prince Episode 10 | 6.9 |
Genius Prince Episode 11 | 7.0 |
Genius Prince Episode 12 | 7.0 |
Although the reviews and ratings are decent, a crucial factor for renewal will be the availability of studio and source material.
Studio Yokohama Animation Laboratory is by no means a big production house, with only five animes and no sequels produced since 2020.
The good news is the studio is taking on multiple projects for 2023, as up to three new animes are scheduled to release later this year, followed by one more in January 2024.
Source material should be fine, as more than 6 volumes are available to adapt for Genius Prince Season 2.
All in All, there is a good chance that Genius Prince will be renewed for a second season. If so, we can expect the Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt Season 2 trailer and Genius Prince Season 2 release date by late 2024.

GENIUS PRINCE SEASON 2 PLOT
In the finale of Genius Prince season one, “A Really Motivated Seller,” Sirgis plots to give the recovered Marden land to the Levetian church in return for turning into an Elite.
While haggling with Sirgis, Wein offers to kill Gruyere, calling attention to Soljest s’ increasing power which will cause a battle with Natra and Delunio.
Sirgis offers to acknowledge Natran’s refugees after the war, so Wein announces Natra’s 800,000 residents will move into Delunio as refugees right away.
Realizing Wein previously accomplished something almost identical with Mealtars’ 30,000 residents, Sirgis panics.
Wein likewise dishonestly guarantees clothing he offered to Delunio by means of Marden was canvassed in a sluggish-acting toxic substance, and Delunio’s residents will before long kick the bucket. Completely outsmarted by Wein’s trying and conspiring Sirgis is compelled to consent to Wein’s terms.
Gruyere is crushed and detained in Natra. Wein uncovers Sirgis’ acquiescence cost him his political standing and is presently not a danger.
Gruyere consents to sign harmony announcements but first requests to realize what is genuinely in Wein’s heart that drives him to such limits.
Wein’s response first shocks then, at that point, exceptionally entertain Gruyere.
The following day Ninym calls attention to accomplishing harmony has cost Natra the vast majority of its riches and its quiet relationship with the Levetian church.
Wein pitches a fit as he understands his arrangement to sell Natra is further away than at any other time, and he has a ton of work to do to fix it.
Genius Prince Season One covered the first six volumes of the light novel, which means Genius Season 2 will begin by adapting Volume 7.
Clear skies, Deep-blue sea, and tropical sun baking the sandy beach. Wein finds himself whisked away to the Patura islands in the tropical south, trying to make the best use of his access to the port in Soljest.
These islands are at the top of Wein’s list of potential trade partners, and if he doesn’t come back to Natra with a deal in hand. Let’s just say his monthly expenses might run him completely dry.
It seems, however, that the gods are not on his side: One little slip-up lands him behind bars in the island nation. The only silver lining, it seems, is that his neighbor the next cell over seems like an interesting guy who might have something to do with the hunt for the Rainbow Crown, a piece of treasure housing magic that can control all of Patura!
After that misadventure, Wein pretty much finds himself in hot water only to end up in the frying pan and wishing he could use it on the head of a particular Imperial Prince Demetrio! Wein joins a meeting between Demetrio and his advisers, who are pretty befuddled since Wein wasn’t invited.
Owing a favor to Princess Lowellmina, Wein had inserted himself at the meeting at her behest in hopes of preventing her three brothers from tearing each other to pieces while seeking the Imperial throne.
One of Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu Season 2 characters is Demetrio who is the least likely of the brothers to become the next emperor of Earthwold, but somehow or another, Wein has found himself teaming up with Demetrio!?
