Below are all the updates regarding the second installment so far.

The Release Date of Killing Bites season 2. When will it air?

The production house has not shown the green flag to the second serving of the series so far. However, we are expecting that makers will renew the series for the second season soon.

The reason for not renewing the series for the season is the lack of source material. The original manga had 10 volumes, and 7 volumes were used to create 1st season, but now sixteen volumes have been created. So we are expecting the second season. Do not expect it any time sooner. If the production of the series starts this year, then we are likely gonna see it somewhere in 2023.
