Poupelle of Chimney Town Sequel Drops Main Poster, Sets March 2026 Debut

Studio4°C has finally locked in the details for the sequel to the 2020 hit film Poupelle of Chimney Town. The film, titled Poupelle of Chimney Town ~The Promised Clock Tower~, is officially set for a Japanese theatrical release on March 27, 2026, and the main poster visual has been unveiled.

This confirms the visual style and sets the stage for a major spring 2026 push. The newly released poster highlights the distinctive, imaginative art style that defined the original, assuring fans of visual continuity.

The first film adapted the illustrated book and screenplay by Akihiro Nishino and found success both in Japan and internationally following its North American release in late 2021.

While specific plot details remain under wraps, the subtitle focuses heavily on a “Promised Clock Tower.” This strongly suggests new settings and mysteries for the characters to explore, building on the emotional foundation of the first installment.

Anticipation for this follow-up has been high since its formal announcement earlier this year. The March 2026 window positions the sequel for a significant seasonal release. We expect the marketing campaign, including staff announcements and story arc details, to ramp up as the spring 2026 date approaches.
