MAPPA has yet to announce the coming of Yuri On Ice Season 2, but fans can't help but anticipate the show's return. The animated series has taken everyone by storm by featuring the story of international male figure skaters.
The first season tells the story of the Japanese figure skater Yuri Katsuki, his role model Russian figure-skating champion Victor Nikiforov, and the young Russian skating genius Yuri Plitsetsky. If Yuri On Ice Season 2 comes to the small screen, it may continue the tale of these three.
Aside from fans all over the world, real-life figure skaters like Johnny Weir, Evgenia Medvedeva, Denis Ten, Evgeni Plushenko, and Masato Kimura watched the animated series, per Den of Geek. So, it might be possible they, too, are waiting for the coming of Yuri On Ice Season 2.
But with the announcement of Yuri on Ice movie, it might take a little while before Yuri On Ice Season 2 comes to life. The animated series' staff and crew are still busy working on the film's production, so they might have no time to work on a new season.
So, it might be safe to assume that there would be no Yuri On Ice Season 2 until the movie comes out or, at least, gets completed. The film might be out in June, so fans still have to wait a little while before they get any news about the new season.
According to TVOvermind, there are theories Yuri On Ice Season 2 will be out alongside its movie version. Although it is not impossible to happen, it may be hard for the studio to work on two projects at the same time. If it has a lot of time and talent to do it, MAPPA may surprise everyone by unveiling the series and the film concurrently, but there will be a catch.
If ever MAPPA releases Yuri on Ice Season 2 and its movie version together, it will be competing with one another. Financial wise, it is not advisable to do so. If it won't happen, then a new season may be out after the next few months following the film's release.
And if the movie gets released in June, fans may still have to wait until the next summer or fall to see Yuri on Ice Season 2 on the small screen. Fans should only take these assumptions with a grain of salt as MAPPA has yet to give any details about the new season. The studio remains mum about the making of another installment, so viewers may wait a little more to hear any official announcement.
