The Apothecary Diaries will return for a second season in 2025! Here's what to know

We hope season 1 isn't the last time you thought you were ever going to see Maomao, the intelligent and skilled protagonist of The Apothecary Diaries!

Yes, you read that right! The well-admired anime following the life of a young girl tasked with testing foods and other consumables for poison is coming back with a sophomore season that will continue to tell this story and then some. Crunchyroll reports that season 2 of this anime title will return sometime in 2025, so we will have to sit tight for a little while before we see our favorite characters back on our screens.

In the meantime, however, check out the official teaser for season 2!

Curious to know what the future of this anime title looks like? You've come to the right place! Without further ado, here's what is in store for The Apothecary Diaries season 2!

Maomao will continue to offer her unique services to royalty

At the end of season 1, we see a teaser of what Maomao is up to after dealing with so many mysteries that range from the apparent suicide of an unknown maiden to the history of her sickly mother. Maomao, free of her previous situations, will soon be thrust into yet another conundrum, as malice still lurks around the castle and people are always looking to gain the upper hand by poison or some other way of death.

Of course, a busy week doesn't bother Maomao in the slightest; she's always itching to solve any issue no matter how convoluted!

In addition to Maomao's day-to-day life, we might also see some progress in her romantic life. Or should we better say, Jinshi's romantic life?

As we know, Maomao isn't interested in chasing after love, as she is too preoccupied with becoming an extraordinary apothecary. Even so, this doesn't falter Jinshi in the slightest. He still pursues her heart and seems to want to stop at nothing to make sure Maomao realizes that she is the only one his heart yearns for.

We predict that we will also see more things like the dynamic between the royal families and other crime cases. However, for now, we can say with certainty that the story of Maomao will definitely continue!

The Apothecary Diaries is now streaming on Crunchyroll!
