The Great Cleric made its mark in the anime world when it aired from July 7 to September 22, 2023. This isekai series, about Luciel’s journey as a reincarnated healer, caught the attention of fantasy anime fans worldwide. After its 12-episode run, viewers are asking about the future of this unique series.
Will there be The Great Cleric Season 2?
The Great Cleric Season 2 has yet to receive an official announcement. Yokohama Animation Lab, Cloud Hearts, and others have not confirmed a second season. Fans should watch the official Twitter account for updates. This applies to major events like Anime Expo 2024, July 4-7 in Los Angeles. They often announce new seasons there.
What are the Chances of Season 2?
The possibility of The Great Cleric anime season 2 depends on several key factors. The source material, a light novel series by Broccoli Lion, has 10 published volumes. They only adapted three volumes in the first season, leaving plenty of content for future seasons. The manga has 12 volumes so far. Vertical Comics has translated 9 into English.
The series didn’t make Oricon’s Top 30 or Amazon’s Top 50 Light Novels, but it found success in digital formats. It reached Amazon’s Top 50 Best Selling eBook Teen & Young Adult Light Novel Series. It has a strong international appeal.
Popularity and Ratings of “The Great Cleric”
The series reached its peak ranking at 35th place on Anitrendz weekly polls. On significant platforms, the show maintains steady ratings:
- MyAnimeList: 6.6/10
- AniList: 7.4/10
- IMDb: 6.6/10
The series has a dedicated following in the isekai community, which is notable given the genre’s competitiveness. An English dub suggests strong demand for international audiences, which could affect the decision on The Great Cleric Season 2’s release date.
Future Commitments of Animation Studio
Both animation studios are currently working on other projects. Yokohama Animation Lab and Cloud Hearts are committed to Rail Romanesque Season 2 and Whisper Me A Love Song, but these projects might delay a potential second season.

The Great Cleric Season 2 release date is unconfirmed in the USA and elsewhere. But we can make an educated guess. The anime takes 12-18 months to produce. If it’s greenlit, a 2025 release seems likely.
The original cast would likely return, including:
- Kawashima Reiji/Justin Briner as Luciel
- Masaki Terasoma/Aaron Roberts as Granhart
- Manaka Iwamu/Kiane Chula King as Monica
