Now, reports claim that the wait for the much-awaited second season may finally be over.

Earlier reports stated that "Yuri On Ice" season 2 release date was January 2017 but that obviously did not happen. Now, the highly-anticipated sequel of the mega-hit Japanese sports anime television series is expected to arrive before the year ends, since the show's co-creator, Mutsuro Kubo, revealed that she would want to finish the sequel in 2017.

"I have a lot of plans in the works with the director for next year [2017, Interview was made last year]… including the wish to create a sequel. So I’m doing my best and working hard for that reason!!" Mitsuro Kubo said about the "Yuri On Ice" release date.

Although the exact "Yuri On Ice" season 2 release date still remains uncertain, rumor has it that the sequel will focus on Yuri Katsuki's past, as per Mobpicker. If this will turn out to be true, then the creators may have wanted the viewers to learn more about the show's protagonist's previous experiences before proceeding on his current journey.

"Yuri On Ice" has definitely captured a lot of hearts since the story is not only unique but it is also realistic and relatable. While the "Yuri On Ice" season 2 release date is still a mystery, fans are already hopeful that the sequel will finally happen soon after Mutsuro Kubo's interview.
