Will Nyaight of the Living Cat Return for Season 2? Latest Renewal Status and Where to Stream

Nyaight of the Living Cat clawed to a close in September 2025, and fans are desperate for more. The finale all but begged for a follow-up, yet season 2 remains unconfirmed.

If you were hoping Nyaight of the Living Cat would immediately pounce back with a second season after that wild season 1 finale, here is where things stand: it has not been renewed yet, and the path to season 2 is trickier than the show’s goofy tone might suggest.

Status check: no greenlight (yet)

Season 1 wrapped on September 23, 2025, and there has been zero official word about season 2 from the creator, the production committee, or the anime staff. No teasing, no announcement, nothing concrete. That silence isn’t unusual. Most anime do not get instant renewals; committees usually take time to see how a show performs once the dust settles.

Translation: they will be watching the usual metrics — audience response, reviews, merch sales, and streaming numbers — before deciding if a sequel is worth it. It’s the un-glamorous, practical side of this business that decides what lives and dies.

The bigger snag: not enough manga left

The biggest hurdle is the source material. Season 1 burned through most of what’s currently out there. Only seven manga volumes have been published so far, which doesn’t leave much runway for a full second season. The show may need to wait for more chapters if it wants to keep adapting the story rather than inventing a detour.

Where season 1 left things

The finale went hard. Grandma sacrificed herself, temporarily syncing her mind with Jones to lead the cats — and other animals — away, steering thousands of beasts out of harm’s way. The cost: she was infected. Right after, Kunagi announced he was heading out to figure out how this whole feline apocalypse started in the first place.

What season 2 would cover (if it happens)

If the anime picks up where the manga is, expect season 2 to start around volume 7. The focus would shift to Kunagi’s journey, with his memories gradually surfacing as he hunts for whoever kicked this catastrophe off. That thread also leaves the door open for a possible cure — meaning the people turned into cats might not be a lost cause.

Where to watch

Season 1 is streaming on Crunchyroll, which simulcast the show as it aired in Japan and made it available globally. If a second season gets made, Crunchyroll is the obvious home again.

Odds and timing

In blunt terms: the chances of a quick season 2 aren’t great right now. With limited manga to adapt, any sequel likely needs time — and by the time there is enough material, the hype could cool off. That said, the cliffhanger was pointed for a reason, so fans aren’t wrong to keep a little hope alive.
