The first promotional video has been released for season 2 of The Duke of Death and His Maid, slated to air in 2023. As with season 1, season 2 is also animated by J.C.STAFF.
The series stars Duke of Death/Botchan (CV: Natsuki Hanae) who has the cursed ability to kill anything he touches, forcing him to live in near isolation.

In season 2, Botchan states his resolve to marry Alice.
