Spice and Wolf Season 2 Set for 2027: What Holo Collectors Should Know
Spice and Wolf: MERCHANT MEETS THE WISE WOLF is coming back. On August 31, 2026, the franchise revealed a second teaser visual for Season 2 of its remake and locked in a 2027 release window, giving one of anime's most beloved fantasy-romance series a firm return date. For collectors, a confirmed second season is the kind of news that tends to move figures, because renewed screen time almost always drives fresh demand for the character at its center: Holo, the Wisewolf.
What Season 2 Revealed
The announcement paired the 2027 window with a new key visual. Season 2 is produced at Studio Passione, with Takeo Takahashi credited as chief director, Hijiri Sanpei directing, and Koji Haneda on character designs. The core cast returns, led by Ami Koshimizu as Holo and Jun Fukuyama as the traveling merchant Kraft Lawrence. Notably, the remake is set to adapt an arc that was never animated in the original 2008-2009 series, so even longtime fans get material they have not seen on screen before.
The remake first debuted in 2024, and the sequel was announced almost immediately after Season 1 wrapped that September. That continuity matters for collectors: an ongoing, actively adapted franchise keeps a character commercially relevant, which is exactly the environment in which manufacturers greenlight new figures.
Why Holo Is a Collector Favorite
Few anime heroines have the enduring shelf presence of Holo. Her design, a mix of playful wolf ears, a signature fluffy tail, and a sharp, teasing personality, gives sculptors a lot to work with, and the market has responded over the years. Good Smile Company's premium COVERS line has produced a 1/7 scale Holo based on illustrator saitom's artwork, and KADOKAWA has released a 1/7 scale "Bunny Ver." drawn from original series illustrator Jyuu Ayakura's design. Both underline a simple point: Holo scale figures span a wide range, from elegant standing poses to more playful concept pieces.
With a new season on the calendar, expect that catalog to keep growing. Historically, a returning anime brings prize figures, scale figures, and smaller goods back into rotation, and secondary-market interest in existing pieces often picks up as the premiere approaches. If you have been eyeing a Holo figure, a season announcement is usually the start of the window when attention, and availability, is highest.
Collecting Spice and Wolf at Akibato
Akibato does not run a dedicated Spice and Wolf collection, but fans of character-driven fantasy scale figures are well served by our general figures selection, where imported Japanese scale and prize figures rotate regularly. If you enjoy hunting for a specific heroine's figures, that is the place to start, and it pairs naturally with the smaller collectibles many fans display alongside a centerpiece figure.
Building a display around a favorite character? Browse Japanese anime figures at Akibato, and consider adding a few gashapon capsule figures to round out the shelf. Shipping is charged by total parcel weight rather than per item, so a couple of small capsules can travel alongside a larger figure for roughly the same cost as sending one on its own.
