Fans are still waiting for news regarding the premiere of "Yuri on Ice" Season 2. Unfortunately, the publisher has not yet offered official news on this matter. On the other hand, there are new details disclosed online so fans know what to expect.

So far, the latest reports on the expected "Yuri on Ice" Season 2 release date suggest that the series will return sometime Oct. 2017. However, others suggest that the new episodes will come at a later date. Some critics have also noted that Season 2 may not happen at all.

According to Opp Trends, some fans and critics are not keeping their hopes up for a "Yuri on Ice" Season 2 release. A lot of anime series have failed to follow up the first season with another one. Some speculate that the same will happen for the "Vikturi" team.

In the case of "Yuri on Ice" Season 2, some fans and analysts were satisfied with the first season's finale. This could largely affect the highly anticipated "Yuri on Ice" Season 2 release date. Season 1 ended with Yuri losing the Grand Prix finals. It was a hard blow for some while others accepted their skating idol's defeat.

The outlet adds that "Yuri on Ice" is an original anime and unlike other anime series, it has no manga version to base on. The "Yuri on Ice" Season 2 release date may only be announced if the writer comes up with another round of stories to tell. It remains to be seen if Mitsuro Kubo will generate new material for the upcoming installment.

Meanwhile, Celebeat notes that Mitsuro Kubo's story has had a positive impact on numerous viewers. It was one of 2016's biggest anime series and has garnered millions of views per episode. This could be a reason for the publisher to announce the "Yuri on Ice" Season 2 release date soon.

Yuri Katsuki's silver medal win at the Grand Prix finals led a division among fans. Others were happy about it while others were not. Some fans suggested that it was a sign of new hope for "Yuri on Ice" Season 2 to take place. For some viewers, "Yuri on Ice" Season 2 should happen so Yuri can redeem himself and the "Vikturi" love team will develop further.
