Was Uncle from Another World Season 2 Canceled? Reasons Explained
The anime adaptation of Uncle from Another World completed its full 13-episode season as planned and was not canceled.
Since the original manga is still being serialized, it seems the anime ended at a natural breakpoint.
Postponed three times
The anime adaptation of “Uncle from Another World” had its broadcast postponed three times due to the pandemic, which led many to believe it had been canceled.

打ち切りじゃなくて良かった??

The production company behind the anime “Isekai Ojisan” repeatedly postponed the broadcast due to the spread of COVID-19 and aired reruns multiple times as a substitute.
First postponement: Episodes 5 and beyond postponed
⇒ Episodes 1 and 2 will be rebroadcast as a replacement
Second postponement: Episodes 8 and beyond postponed
⇒ Episodes 3–6 will be rebroadcast as a replacement
Third postponement: Episode 13 (the final episode) postponed
As a result of these three consecutive broadcast delays, the airing schedule was pushed back by three full seasons—from the premiere on July 6, 2022, to the finale (Episode 13) on March 8, 2023—leading many viewers to mistakenly believe the series had been canceled.
There is no source material
Since “Uncle from Another World” is still being serialized and there is no existing source material, the fact that the anime ended abruptly may have led some viewers to mistakenly believe it had been canceled.

Although the series ended in a way that suggested a second season was coming, the fact that no broadcast date had been set may have led viewers to believe it had been canceled.
Since the ending hinted that the story would continue into a second season, fans were expecting the sequel to air.
However, due to the fact that the original manga is still being serialized—and perhaps influenced by the broadcast delay—the situation regarding whether a sequel will air remains unclear.
Given this, it’s understandable why fans felt the series had been “canceled.”
When will the second season of the “Uncle from Another World” anime air?
Since the first season of *Uncle from Another World* was adapted up to Volume 7, I expect the second season to be announced for broadcast sometime after September 2025, when Volume 14 is released.
Since the first season of *Uncle from Another World* was adapted up to Volume 7, I think it would be difficult to have enough source material for a second season—which would likely require about 7 volumes—unless at least Volume 14 is released.
Furthermore, since new volumes of “Uncle from Another World” are released every six months, and Volume 12 is set to be released on September 21, 2024, Volume 14 is expected to be released in September 2025 or later.
Therefore, the necessary material for the second season’s production will likely be ready by that time, and the timing of the announcement for the second season’s broadcast will most likely be adjusted to coincide with September 2025 or later.
How far does the anime finale of *Uncle from Another World* go? Where does the original manga pick up?
The anime adaptation of *Uncle from Another World* covered up to Volume 7, Chapter 33.
Therefore, if you want to follow the story after the second season of the anime, you can start by buying Volume 7.
By the way, the “anime” is progressing as shown in the table below.
| Manga | Anime |
|---|---|
| Volume 1 | (Season 1) Episodes 1–2, 4 |
| Volume 2 | (Season 1) Episodes 3–5, 7 |
| Volume 3 | (Season 1) Episodes 3–7 |
| Volume 4 | (Season 1) Episodes 8–9 |
| Volume 5 | (Season 1) Episodes 9–11 |
| Volume 6 | (Season 1) Episodes 11–13 |
| Volume 7 | (Season 1) Episodes 13 |

Final Thoughts on Uncle from Another World
As for the rumors that the “Uncle from Another World” anime was canceled, it wasn't canceled at all—the first season simply came to a natural conclusion.
The cancellation rumors mainly came from the fact that the anime's broadcast was postponed three times due to the effects of COVID-19, which led some viewers to believe it had been canceled.
However, the manga remains popular, and if enough source material becomes available, a second season could be produced in the future.
It may still be worth checking out for yourself.
