Renegade Immortal is one of the Xianxia genre donghua that has managed to attract the attention of the audience since its premiere. With an epic storyline, stunning animation, and deep character development, many fans can’t wait for news about the continuation of the story. But, will there be a Renegade Immortal season 2?
This article will discuss in depth the possibility of a second season, story spoilers if it is continued, and predictions for when this donghua will air again. Watch the review until the end!
The Success of the First Season of Renegade Immortal
The first season of Renegade Immortal (仙逆 / Xian Ni) was adapted from a novel by Er Gen, a famous author who is also known for other works such as I Shall Seal the Heavens and A Will Eternal. The story focuses on the main character Wang Lin, an ordinary young man whose life changes drastically after gaining extraordinary cultivation powers.
The storyline not only presents great fights and spectacular visuals, but also touches on the emotional side of Wang Lin’s life struggles full of suffering, revenge, and self-discovery. All these elements have made Renegade Immortal successfully build a solid fanbase, both in China and internationally.
With positive reviews and high fan response on platforms like Bilibili and YouTube, it is no wonder that many are hoping for a sequel to this story.
Will There Be Renegade Immortal Season 2?
1. Positive Signs
Although there has been no official announcement from the studio, several indications point to the possibility of a season 2:
- High popularity: Good ratings and increasing viewership could be strong reasons for the studio to continue this project.
- Abundant source material: The Xian Ni novel is still very long and only a small part of it was adapted into the first season. This opens up many opportunities for the story to continue.
- Er Gen franchise strategy: Other Donghua based on Er Gen novels such as A Will Eternal also have more than one season. This adds to the hope that Renegade Immortal will get the same treatment.
2. Possible Obstacles
However, on the other hand, there are several obstacles that could affect the production schedule:
- High production costs: Quality animation as seen in the first season requires a large budget.
- Donghua competition: Many other projects of the same genre are also waiting for their turn to be produced.
- Censorship policies in China: Some stories with heavy themes and violence like Renegade Immortal sometimes face regulatory challenges.
Renegade Immortal Season 2 Release Date Prediction
Looking at the current trend of the donghua industry, if season 2 is really developed, it is most likely:
- Official announcement: Could happen between mid to late 2025.
- Release date: The second season will most likely air between early to mid 2026, if all processes go smoothly.
However, this schedule is still a prediction and can change depending on many factors, including the success of merchandise sales, streaming platform collaborations, and fan feedback.
Anticipated Story Developments in Season 2
For those of you who have been following the Xian Ni novel, you must know that Wang Lin’s story will get darker and more complex in the next part. Some things to expect from the second season:
- Wang Lin’s cultivation level increases to a higher and more challenging stage.
- Meeting new, stronger and more mysterious enemies.
- Wang Lin’s internal conflict as an antihero character - between revenge and inner peace.
- Reuniting with old characters who have been missing for a long time.
- Emotional plot twists that will change the course of the story.
The second season has the potential to present more epic battles, Xianxia-style life philosophies, and of course, emotional drama.
