The intrigue and court fantasy of Futsutsuka na Akujo dewa Gozaimasu ga: Suuguu Chouso Torikae Den (Though I Am an Inept Villainess) will continue on screen. Following the broadcast of its 11th and final episode, the production committee confirmed that a second part is officially in active development, slated to premiere in January 2027. Accompanying the announcement, the official website revealed a striking new key visual capturing the series' distinctive atmosphere.
Produced by renowned animation studio Doga Kobo, the first season adapted Satsuki Nakamura’s acclaimed fantasy romance light novel series. The original web novel first debuted on the Shousetsuka ni Narou platform in July 2020 before Ichijinsha picked it up for physical publication with illustrations by Kana Yuki. The franchise has achieved significant commercial success, boasting a cumulative circulation of over 5 million copies across its physical and digital editions.
Alongside the light novel, Ei Ohitsuji's manga adaptation in Comic ZERO-SUM has cultivated a dedicated readership. International fans have also embraced the property, with Seven Seas Entertainment handling English-language publishing for both the original novels and the manga adaptation. As production ramps up for the January 2027 release, Doga Kobo returns to helm the continuation of this captivating body-swap tale of courtly schemes and redemption.
