Epic Return Looms: 'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess Unveils Season 2 Trailer, January 2026 Premiere Set

Fans of the uniquely whimsical and hilariously dark fantasy series, 'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess, are buzzing with excitement following the official unveiling of a captivating new trailer for its highly anticipated second season. This thrilling sneak peek not only offers a glimpse into the continuing saga but also confirms a January 2026 premiere date, promising a grand return for the beloved anime. Under the masterful animation of Studio PINE JAM, the upcoming installment is poised to deepen the enthralling conflict between the formidable Imperial Army and the menacing Hellhorde, with the plucky Princess and her legendary sword, Excalibur, once again at the heart of the action. Adding a fresh layer of intrigue, the trailer prominently features a new character, Sakura Heartrock, whose introduction is expected to inject dynamic new facets into the unfolding narrative.

The series initially captivated audiences upon its debut in January 2024, quickly earning acclaim across its 12-episode run. Its distinctive charm lies in an ingenious blend of lighthearted comedic moments—where the Princess endures delightfully bizarre 'tortures' involving gourmet delights like fluffy, fresh-baked toast and steaming hot ramen—juxtaposed against the high stakes of a war-torn fantasy realm.

The acclaimed creative force behind the anime includes director Yoko Kanamori, with series composition by Kazuyuki Fudeyazu, character designs meticulously crafted by Satoshi Furuhashi and Toshiya Kono, and an immersive musical score composed by Masaru Yokoyama. The vibrant cast is brought to life by stellar voice performances, notably Haruka Shiraishi as the resilient Princess and Chikahiro Kobayashi lending his voice to the iconic Excalibur.

Further enhancing its rich universe, the original manga, penned by Robinson Haruhara and exquisitely illustrated by Hirakei, concluded its serialization on August 19, 2025, via the popular Shonen Jump+ platform. As anticipation builds, Crunchyroll remains the exclusive official streaming platform, ensuring fans worldwide can seamlessly access every new episode upon its release. Season 2 is poised not only to expand the comedic and fantastical boundaries established in its predecessor but also to delve profoundly into the mysteries surrounding its new characters and the strategic evolution of the ongoing war, promising an engaging fusion of signature humor and compelling action.
