After the successful stint of the series in 2020, Heaven Official’s Blessing Season 2 has been highly awaited by many donghua and danmei fans all these years. Finally, almost 3 years later, an update is scheduled to be released about it by its production committee this October, triggering many fans to think that Heaven Official’s Blessing Season 2 might be released this fall.
Heaven Official’s Blessing Season 2
The announcement about Heaven Official’s Blessing Season 2 was made during the 2021 annual event of Bilibili where the show was one of its top sequels to return along with the likes of Fog Hill of Five Elements Season 2, A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality, The Daily Life of the Immortal King Season 2, and Fairies Album.
However, 2 years had passed, and no new updates had been revealed. Heaven Official’s Blessing wasn’t even included in the lineup unveiled by Bilibili during their 2022 event. Hence, fans seem to be afraid that the series might have been canceled, especially during the BL drought that happened these past few years due to strict censorship in China.
That is why, fans had been relieved and excited after learning that a major update is due for announcement this October. A befitting hype for fans to have because Heaven Official’s Blessing is one of those few Chinese anime series that were able to transcend boundaries and capture the hearts of many fans from all over the world.

The announcement about the update was unveiled on August 22, 2023 – when a new poster and promotional video for Heaven Official’s Blessing Season 2 was revealed, that is during the celebration of the Chinese Valentine’s Day.
