The Duke of Death and His Maid is one of the most unique series that came out in the Summer of 2021. It’s a famous anime series! The Duke of Death and His Maid season 2 was recently revealed on the official Twitter account of the franchise, while the series is confirmed to be released in 2023, no further information is revealed regarding the release date, cast, and staff members.
The first season of this supernatural rom-com series was exciting and fun to watch but it left so many questions unanswered, and fans are hoping the sequel will reveal more information about the Duke’s curse and the reason behind why he was cursed by the witch.

The Duke of Death and His Maid season 2 trailer
The whole teaser trailer was basically a love confession of Duke expressing his feeling toward Alice in front of his mother, although we did see some new content toward the end. The anime director has done a great job executing the story. When you read the english subtitles, you can easily grasp the tension between the characters.
We expect the series to continue as it has been but with a little initiative toward lifting the curse from Duke.
The Duke of Death and His Maid Release Date
It’s final that the series will premiere in 2023. No information about the exact release window is out yet. But let’s go over all we know.
Studio J.C.Staff is currently working on seven projects right now. The release dates for the other shows have been confirmed so it seems unlikely the Duke of Death series will be included in the Winter line-up.
But seeing how lackluster the trailer was, we can assume the series is most likely still in the production phase. So we might see a return in the Spring or Summer of 2023.
