The Apothecary Diaries S2 Confirmed
The Apothecary Diaries season 2 has finally been confirmed, no doubt thanks to the first season's successful run.

The Apothecary Diaries S2 Announces 2025 Debut: Release Date Predictions Explored
Currently, The Apothecary Diaries season 2 has a 2025 release date window, but there's no word on more specific release plans.
Based on the show's success, it's likely that the animation team at OLM is already working on the show's new season.
Even if work has begun ASAP, the sequel may not premiere until spring or summer 2025. After all, the show's impressive visuals will likely need a lot of time to be produced.
If the second season gets confirmed for a spring 2025 release, it will likely premiere in early April, as that is when most seasonal shows debut their pilot episodes.
A summer 2025 release is also possible, especially if the second season will also have two cours just like the first. If so, The Apothecary Diaries season 2 may debut in July 2025 at the earliest.
