Just after the first season of The Eminence in Shadow came to an end, a few reliable leakers on Twitter posted about the series' second-season production and that it has been booked for 12 episodes, but the episode count has not been confirmed officially yet. However, this might be upsetting for the fans, given the first season ran for 20 episodes.
As The Eminence In Shadow anime is adapted from the original manga, the recent announcement was nothing more than a formality for the fans. What the fans actually look forward to is the release date which will likely be revealed at the major upcoming anime conventions in 2023, including Anime NYC, Anime Expo, and Crunchyroll Expo.
