Some familiar names from the first season will return, including Erika Yoshida as the series scriptwriter, Miho Tanino as the character designer, and Kevin Penkin as the composer. New staff members include Takeshi Miyamoto and Riuji Yoshizaki as the script writers and Seigo Kitazawa and Isamatsu Kashima as the character designers. J-pop group NiziU will perform the opening and closing theme songs.

Based on the original webtoon written and illustrated by S.I.U., Tower of God inspired an anime adaptation on April 1, 2020. Animated and produced by Telecom Animation Film, the first season aired for 13 episodes, concluding on June 24, 2020 with a cliffhanger. The series announced a second season in August 2022 but had virtually remained silent despite Season 1 receiving positive reception. The character designer and chief animation director, Tanino Miho, dropped a rough sketch of the characters with a simple caption of “want to see season 2…,” sparking fans to join in the cry for the second season.
Tower of God features a boy named Twenty-Fifth Bam who has lived his whole life trapped beneath an enormous Tower with his friend Rachel. One day, Rachel decides to climb the Tower to see the stars, abandoning Bam. Bam follows suit, in the hopes that he reunites with Rachel but before he can do that, he’ll have to climb each floor and fight off the foes he sees there. The webtoon previously took a hiatus in August 2022 for more than six months before returning in March 2023 with Season 3.
Tower of God Season 2 premieres on Crunchyroll in July 2024.
