'Charlotte' Season 2: Everything We Know So Far

This is a live article and it will be updated as new details about Charlotte Season 2 come our way. This is what we know so far.

Charlotte

'Charlotte' or 'Shārotto' is a 2015 Japanese Anime Television series that was produced by P.A.Work and Aniplex. Yoshiyuki Asai directed the show, and the first season of the anime had 13 episodes that aired in Japan from July 5 and September 27, 2015. After the first season's release, an original video animation was produced by the production house in March 2016. The show's original idea was from Jun Maeda, and he has also written the screenplay and composed some soundtracks for the series. The concept for 'Charlotte' was put out by Maeda a long time back, and he was approached in 2012 to work on another anime series after he was done with 'Angel Beats!' After 'Charlotte' season 1 aired, it was praised far and wide for its content and evocative moments. The show also faced some criticism for the pace it took, and even though the show's comic elements have been called dumb and corny sometimes, the show has been mainly praised, with one reviewer calling the show a palate cleanser.' Here is everything you need to know about Season 2 of Charlotte. 

When Will The Second Season Of 'Charlotte' Premiere?

Charlotte

Charlotte has not yet been renewed for a second season. It's likely that the show has ended! Since there is no source material for the show it is not financially feasible for the studio to produce a new season.

The first season of 'Charlotte' aired in July 2015 and the finale aired in September 2015. It had a total of 13 episodes, and each episode had an average runtime of 25 minutes. Looking at the finale episode, it almost seemed like the content of an entire season was crammed into one episode, and it would've been very well possible to make an entirely new season out of it. But, that is not what the showrunners wanted, and it looks like they planned to end the show in Season 1. Apart from that, since 'Charlotte' is an original anime show, there is no original content to back up the show. Considering that there is still a chance that the showrunners will go for a second season, it will most likely involve completely new characters, and the storyline will most likely be a spin-off one. 

What Is The Main Plot Of 'Charlotte'?

Charlotte

'Charlotte' is an original anime that does not follow any existing manga. The story's plot takes place in an alternate reality where a short-period comet named Charlotte passed by Earth every 75 years. When it passes by Earth, it tends to spray some dust that results in pre-adolescents who manifest some superhuman abilities once they reach puberty. The main story focuses on the protagonist Yuu Otosaka who can possess someone else's body for five seconds. While in the beginning, he hopes to use this ability to sail through high school smoothly. He ends up being exposed by Nao Tomori, who can make herself invisible to her specific target. After being exposed, Yuu is forced to transfer to Hoshinoumi Academy and become a part of the student council. Jōjirō Takajō is a part of the student council, and he can move at superhuman speed. The student council's primary goal is to ensure that the ones who possess the ability are safe, and the student council warns them about the dangers of using their powers out in the open. The student council is led by a girl named Yusa Nishimori, who has the power to channel the spirits of the dead through a medium. Yusa's elder sister Misa, who is dead, often uses this ability to possess her body, which helps her use her ability, pyrokinesis.
