Season 2 of Urusei Yatsura will start airing in January 2024, and ahead of that a new key visual appeared on the internet. It features characters both new and old surrounding Lum, who is smiling and winking in the middle. There is no new trailer for the second season yet. [Thanks, Comic Natalie!]

Though we knew that season 2 would come out in 2024, it was unclear which anime season it would start in. However, so far, there is no specific release date as of yet. The first season aired on Fridays, so there’s the chance that the second season will follow suit. David Production will likely give more details about that, as well as release a trailer, closer to January 2024.
Urusei Yatsura originally ran from 1978 to 1978 in Weekly Shonen Sunday. An anime series for it aired in 1981, starring Toshio Furukawa as Ataru and Fumi Hirano as Lum. In 2022, David Production released a reboot of it, with Hiroshi Kamiya as Ataru and Sumire Uesaka as Lum. It is a romantic comedy in which Ataru (a human) accidentally proposes to Lum (an oni) and she ends up moving into his house upon falling in love with him.
The first season of Urusei Yatsura (the 2022 reboot) is available on HIDIVE. Season 2 of Urusei Yatsura will likely appear on the streaming service as well when it starts airing in January 2024.
