Has Darling in Franxx ended? While the anime had excellent reviews and was watched by millions of people globally, people are still hopeful that there will be a season 2. Being a co-production between Studio Trigger and CloverWorks, there are high chances that either of them will go ahead with the season 2 production. The good thing is that there is an insatiable demand for another premiere.

When the first series concluded in July 2018, fans were hopeful and expecting the next season to premiere in late-2019 or latest, mid-2020. Nevertheless, Darling in the Franxx has not released any commutation on the scheduled release date. That leaves the fans with the option of being patient.
