Based on the light novels by Shogo Kinugasa and Sunsaku Tomose, Classroom of the Elite II is chief-directed by Hiroyuki Hashimoto and Seiji Kishi, and directed by Yoshihito Nishoji at studio Lerche (Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, given), with series composition by Hayato Kazano and character designs by Kazuaki Morita.
The first season of Classroom of the Elite aired in 2017. The second and third seasons were announced on March 6. Classroom of the Elite II is scheduled to premiere on Crunchyroll on July 4. The series is described as such:
Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School seems like a paradise, but in reality, it is an extreme meritocracy. In the class of underachievers, Kiyotaka has begun working with Suzune, who seeks to ascend higher. After a survival test on an uninhabited island, they get to enjoy a luxury liner, but a new class-scrambling test will begin! Will you work for your class, your group, or yourself?
