That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Season 2 Part 2 has been confirmed to be coming out in 2021. That means Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Season 2 is a split-cour anime season.

What’s a split-cour, you might ask? For those unfamiliar with the lingo, a “cour” is a three-month block of TV broadcasting based on the physical seasons usually composed of 10 to 13 episodes.

A “split-cour” is where a single anime season takes a multi-month break before resuming TV broadcasting. Recent examples would include Haikyuu!! To The Top Season 2, although Haikyuu!! Season 4 Part 2 was delayed in 2020 due to the effects of the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus pandemic.
