The anime that many believed would never get a season 2 is now confirmed for a season 3! The Devil Is A Part-Timer!! the anime based on the light novel series of the same name by author Satoshi Wagahara announced on Friday that a season 3 is in the works with a 2023 release date! The twelfth episode of the second season just aired Thursday so the announcement of a continuation so soon is wild.
The first season of The Devil Is a Part-Timer!! originally aired April 4th, 2013 and for 9 long years, it was often viewed as a joke to even mention the thought of a season 2. It wasn’t until July 14th, 2022 that we got the first episode of Season 2, which for an anime to come back and pick up with the same cast after 9 years is quite unheard of.
