'Though I Am an Inept Villainess' Teases Cour 2

'Though I Am an Inept Villainess' Teases Cour 2 Ahead of January Premiere

The highly anticipated continuation of the body-swapping historical romance is officially on the horizon! A brand-new teaser trailer for the second cour of Though I Am an Inept Villainess has dropped, giving fans an exciting first look at the next chapter of palace intrigue and chaos.

The Premiere Details:

Animated by the acclaimed studio Doga Kobo, the second half of the series is officially scheduled to premiere in January 2027. After the first cour wrapped up its successful run from July to September 2026, the series will pick right back up, officially moving into "The First Royal Outing" arc.

New Faces Joining the Court:

The new trailer and key visual didn't just tease the upcoming story; they also revealed three major additions to the voice cast who will be stepping into the imperial drama:

Yuichi Nakamura (Jujutsu Kaisen) joins the cast as Keikou.

Shunichi Toki (Tokyo Revengers) takes on the role of Keishou.

Chiaki Kobayashi (Mashle: Magic and Muscles) steps in to voice Unran.

What to Expect in Cour 2:

If you need a quick refresher, the story follows Reirin, the beloved and seemingly perfect imperial consort candidate, whose body is suddenly swapped with her despised rival, Keigetsu. While the first half of the season saw the duo navigate the immediate fallout and settle the curse that plagued the inner court, the upcoming cour promises even more complex political maneuvering and relationship developments as they venture outside the palace walls.

Fans can expect Crunchyroll to continue streaming the series when it returns for the winter anime season.
