The second season of the anime Blessing of the Celestials, adapted from the novels by Chinese author Moxiang Tongxiu, will stream globally at the same time as the rest of the world, including audiences in Canada and the United States. This update comes from Kinopoisk’s online cinema team, confirming the plan to release the season to viewers everywhere in unison via their platform (Kinopoisk).
The premiere date for the fresh season is set for October 18, with Kinopoisk hosting the first episode. Following that, new episodes will drop weekly, allowing fans in North America and beyond to follow the continuing journey in a steady cadence (Kinopoisk).
Season two revisits the adventures of Crown Prince Xie Lian as his path unfolds through a series of intricate encounters and revelations. Readers and viewers will recall how he previously unraveled the mystery behind the kidnapper who abducted the bride, aided by a cryptic demon and the clues surrounding the Banyue region. The narrative then moved toward revelations tied to the Ghost City and an ongoing quest to answer long-standing questions, all while bearing responsibility for controversial events linked to a brutal massacre at the Golden Feast (Kinopoisk).
The novels by Moxiang Tongxiu have enjoyed remarkable international attention, appearing on major bestseller lists, including the New York Times, multiple times. In Russia, the series achieved record print runs, with Volume 1 reaching 200,000 copies and Volumes 2 and 3 selling 120,000 copies each, followed by an initial print run for Volume 4 at 100,000 copies. These figures reflect a strong global appetite for Tongxiu’s storytelling and its cinematic adaptation (Kinopoisk).
Industry observers noted that the first three chapters of Blessing of the Celestials ranked among the best-selling fiction titles for two consecutive years, indicating sustained popularity and a growing cross-border fan base. The sustained interest even outpaced other prominent titles in the same period, underscoring the series’ broad appeal across markets like the United States, Canada, and beyond (Kinopoisk).
As additional context for fans and industry watchers, there has been speculation about other major entertainment events drawing large audiences, such as a hypothetical concert film by a global pop icon, illustrating the broad attention these kinds of releases tend to attract in the global media landscape (Kinopoisk).
