Most of the main staff are returning for the second season as well, with Hiroyasu Aoki (No Game No Life, 2011 Hunter x Hunter) reprising his role as director, scriptwriter, and series composition. Character design will still be handled by Takahisa Katagiri (FLCL Progressive), with Takashi Nakamura and Yuki Sonoda still as art directors.

The first season premiered on Netflix last December 2018 with 15 episodes. Anime News Network describes the anime’s story as such:

”When the headquarters of the SSC, an elite high-tech police organization, is assaulted by a lone man who should be dead they learn of the existence of strange masks that grant the users unnatural power. Meanwhile, attorney Sarah Sinclair secretly investigates the mysterious death of her friend and mentor, prosecutor Monica Cambel, suspecting that her sudden death from “natural causes” was in fact murder.”

The second season is set for a worldwide Netflix release on August 23.
