The official website for Birdie Wing -Golf Girls’ Story- announced on Wednesday that Season 2 will be postponed until April 2023. Season 2 was announced after the first season officially came to an end earlier this year and was originally supposed to begin airing sometime in January 2023. No further details have been released regarding why Season 2 is postponed other than “various circumstances”. Birdie Wing is an original anime series animated by studio Bandai Namco Pictures that is currently available to watch on Crunchyroll. No announcements have been made about the staff and cast for Season 2 yet.
Birdie Wing has taken the anime fandom by storm this year in more years than one. Despite getting very minimal attention when the series first began airing, Birdie Wing has emerged as one of the highest-rated original anime of the year alongside Lycoris Recoil. The original series centered around golf brings to the forefront everything you never thought you’d see in this series. Whether it’s dealing with the mafia, car chase scenes, gun fights, back-alley betting, or even undercover work, Birdie Wing brings much more to the sports genre than just the game of golf itself.
Birdie Wing Season 2 will begin airing in April 2023. The series will be joining other big-name series for the Spring 2023 season such as Dr. Stone: New World (Season 3), Edens Zero Season 2, and My Home Hero. Bandai Namco Pictures will be animating the upcoming seasons as well. You can watch the official trailer for Season 2 below.
