Plans for Attack on Titan season 2 have been updated with news that the adaptation of Hajime Isayama's hit manga will return on April 1st (Tokyo MX at 22:00, then MBS at 25:58). The returning talent on the project is now set to include Revo's best selling theme song performers Linked Horizon on the opening. 

Funimation notes that their simulcast of season 2 is also scheduled to launch on April 1st. They describe the series

Eren Jaeger swore to wipe out every last Titan, but in a battle for his life he wound up becoming the thing he hates most. With his new powers, he fights for humanity’s freedom facing the monsters that threaten his home. After a bittersweet victory against the Female Titan, Eren finds no time to rest—a horde of Titans is approaching Wall Rose and the battle for humanity continues!
