After what felt like a lifetime of waiting, the time has finally come. My Dress-Up Darling season two has finally arrived and is streaming on Crunchyroll. We’re excited to see what Marin and Gojo get up to, even after we saw the potential end of their story. With season two officially underway, we at least know when the next episode of My Dress-Up Darling will be streaming on Crunchyroll. Here is everything we know about the My Dress-Up Darling season two release date each week.

New episodes of My Dress-Up Darling are out on Saturday at 12:30 pm EST/ 8:30 am PST/ 5:30 pm BST. That means that you can end each week of the unfairly packed summer 2025 anime season with one of the most wholesome and funny shows out there. We don’t know exactly how many episodes will be in this season but it will probably be 12 or 13 episodes in My Dress-Up Darling season two.

The release date for the next episode of My Dress-Up Darling season two is:

• My Dress-Up Darling season 2 episode 2 “TBD” – July 12, 2025 at 12:30 pm EST/ 8:30 am PST/ 5:30 pm BST

Those of us who are caught up with the My Dress-Up Darling manga already have a good idea of what is coming up. While nothing in the manga really holds up to the height of the Love Hotel scene in episode 11 of season one, there are some great moments coming up – including the always-popular School Festival Arc where Marin will be doing a bit of crossplay and cosplaying as a male character.

My Dress-Up Darling season two episodes premiere at 12:30 pm EST on Saturdays on Crunchyroll.
