A new update on SK8 the Infinity Season 2 was revealed during the anime’s “∞ Day” Instagram Live broadcast on August 8, showcasing a new illustration and a message from director Hiroko Utsumi.
The livestream, featuring Tasuku Hatanaka (Reki) and Chiaki Kobayashi (Langa), had been previously announced as part of the franchise’s annual celebration on August 8. During the broadcast, an update on the previously mentioned second season was shared along with an illustration labeled “Season 2.”
Although the production is not yet at a point where new footage or other materials can be displayed, Utsumi confirmed that the second season is making progress and shared one detail regarding its setting: Season 2 will be set during winter.
Utsumi’s full message states:
No products found.
We’re not yet at the stage where we have something we can actually show everyone, but we wanted to share at least a little something about Season 2. So, just one small detail: Season 2 takes place in winter!
Winter in SK∞… which means… SK∞ might look something like this! …Maybe. The possibilities are infinite, after all. We’re steadily making progress on Season 2, so please look forward to it and wait just a little longer
The illustration features Reki and Langa dressed in winter attire, which you can view below.
SK8 the Infinity Season 2 was initially announced along with an OVA in August 2022. The four-part OVA, SK8 the Infinity EXTRA PART, was released in 2025, while additional details regarding the second TV season have remained scarce.
Studio BONES has been responsible for the animation thus far, while Aniplex has licensed the show. They describe the story:
Reki, a high school sophomore and skater, is addicted to “S,” a highly secret and dangerous downhill skateboarding race that takes place in an abandoned mine. The skaters are especially wild about the “beefs,” or heated battles that erupt in the races.
No products found.
Reki takes Langa, a transfer student returning to Japan after studying abroad, to the mine where the races occur. Langa, who has no skateboarding experience, finds himself drawn into the world of “S”…
The first season of the anime premiered in Winter 2021.
