HIDIVE is preparing for its Spring 2026 simulcast season by adding three more anime to its lineup, because apparently the only thing better than new anime is even more new anime. The AMC Networks–owned streaming service announced that The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior Season 2, Farming Life in Another World 2, and Yowayowa Sensei will join its upcoming slate of exclusive simulcast titles.
The three series represent a mix of returning and new shows spanning several familiar anime genres, including fantasy, isekai, and romantic comedy. HIDIVE’s Spring 2026 simulcast season begins in April and will stream exclusively on the platform across the United States, Canada, and select international markets such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The company also confirmed that all three titles will receive their North American premieres during Anime Boston 2026 as part of the service’s convention programming.
According to HIDIVE President John Ledford, the upcoming simulcast slate aims to deliver a wide range of genres for viewers. The lineup includes fantasy, supernatural, action, romance, and comedy, offering anime fans plenty of new series to watch throughout the spring season.
One of the returning titles is Farming Life in Another World 2, which continues the laid-back story of Hiraku, a man reincarnated into a fantasy world who chooses to build a peaceful life through farming.
Using the powerful “Almighty Farming Tool,” Hiraku gradually transforms a quiet forest into a thriving village. The anime adapts the light novel series by Kinosuke Naito and originally premiered in January 2023. The second season, directed and written by Ryoichi Kuraya and produced by Zero-G, is scheduled to premiere on April 6, 2026.
The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior Season 2 follows Princess Pride Royal Ivy, who suddenly remembers her previous life as an ordinary girl in Japan and realizes she has been reborn as the villainous final boss of an otome game.
Determined to avoid the tragedies written into the story, she uses her knowledge of the game to change the fate of everyone around her. The anime, based on the light novel series by Tenichi, originally premiered in July 2023. Season two, directed by Norio Nitta with writing by Deko Akao and animation by OLM Team Yoshioka, premieres April 7, 2026.
Rounding out the announcement is Yowayowa Sensei, a romantic comedy about Hiyori Hiwamura, a high school teacher rumored to curse students who anger her. In reality, she is a kind and misunderstood person whose secret is accidentally discovered by one of her students, Akihito Abikura.
The anime adapts the manga by Kamio Fukuchi and is directed by Hiroshi Ishiodori with series composition by Yukinori Fukushima and production by Brain’s Base. The series premieres April 11, 2026.
“We’re beyond thrilled to present our line-up of highly anticipated new simulcast series to fans this spring and available exclusively on HIDIVE,” said John Ledford, President of HIDIVE. “Our Spring 2026 Simulcast Season slate of new and continuing series offers something for everyone with its exciting mix of fantasy, supernatural, isekai, action, romance and comedy. Starting this April, anime fans around the world — in North America and select international markets — can look to HIDIVE for hours and hours of entertainment all season long. Get ready!”
