Crunchyroll have recently confirmed that Witch Hat Atelier, which is an anime adaptation based on the award winning fantasy manga by Kamome Shirahama, will once again simulcast stream on Crunchyroll when it returns for its second season. The first season recently concluded, and all episodes can be watched in both dubbed and subbed format on Crunchyroll.
Since its debut Witch Hat Atelier has gained widespread praise for its visual storytelling and thoughtful themes of perseverance and belonging. The anime adaptation, produced by BUG FILMS, is expected to offer the same breathtaking hand-crafted animation and deeply moving narrative that captivated audiences and critics alike.
Synopsis: In a world where only witches can cast magic, they must avoid being seen by ordinary people while casting. While Coco does her chores, she daydreams of becoming a witch. When a young witch named Qifrey visits her village, Coco uncovers the “absolute secret,” becomes Qifrey’s apprentice, and begins her studies. This is the story of children who encounter despair, yet reach out toward hope.
As a reminder Witch Hat Atelier is available to stream in English dubbed format on Crunchyroll., with the main voice cast as follows:

The first season of Witch Hat Atelier began simulcast streaming on 6th April 2026, and the final episode in this first season (known as Forbidden Magic) recently became available to watch. Shortly after the conclusion of the episode it was announced that a second season would be produced, and that Crunchyroll had acquired worldwide streaming rights (excluding Asia) and plan to simulcast stream it in the future.
