The official website of the 5-toubun no Hanayome (The Quintessential Quintuplets) anime series revealed new staff members, a teaser visual (pictured), and a teaser promo for its second season on Wednesday. The new season will begin airing in October 2020 under the title 5-toubun no Hanayome ∬ (The Quintessential Quintuplets ∬) on TBS and other channels.

Kaori (Yuyushiki, Miira no Kaikata) is helming the second season at Bibury Animation Studios, replacing Satoshi Kuwahara, who directed the first season at Tezuka Productions. Keiichirou Oochi (Machikado Mazoku, Hinamatsuri) is returning as the series composer. The main cast members will reprise their roles.

5-toubun no Hanayome adapts Negi Haruba's romantic comedy manga of the same name, which was originally published as a one-shot in Weekly Shounen Magazine in January 2017. The manga began regular serialization in August that year and ended in the magazine's 12th 2020 issue on Wednesday. Kodansha will publish the 14th and final volume on April 17. 5-toubun no Hanayome has sold a cumulative 10 million copies of its compiled volumes.

The first anime season aired in 12 episodes in Winter 2019. Crunchyroll simulcast the anime with subtitles, while Funimation streamed an English dub. The latter will release the show on Blu-ray and DVD on May 19.

Kodansha Comics licensed the manga in English in 2018 for both digital and physical release. The 11th e-book volume and the seventh physical volume went on sale on January 21 and 28, respectively.
