While many were hoping that there was more to that end message at the end of the first season of Free! with “See you next summer”, it’s now panning out to be true. At a new event for the property in Japan this weekend, a poster was there that indicated that a second series of the swimming boys will be coming, though there were no details. It’s expected to be a summer series though that will fit into the timeframe well and follow-up from what the first series did. It’s expected that the same team will be returning to bring the second season to life.
Original series concept: Nanase Haruka loved to be in the water – loved swimming. In elementary school, Nanase Haruka, Tachibana Makoto, Matsuoka Rin, and Hazuki Nagisa attended the same swimming class together. Time passed, and as Haruka was living an uneventful high school life, he suddenly encountered Rin again. Rin challenged Haruka to a race and showed him how much stronger he had become. Soon enough, Makoto and Nagisa also rejoined the group, and along with a new classmate, Ryugazaki Rei, they established the Iwatobi High School Swimming Club.
