Even though the series’s second season has not yet been announced, there are many grounds to believe it will return. Studio Trigger and CloverWorks collaborated on the series production, which debuted in 2018. 

After the first season aired, both the audience and the critics had conflicting reactions to the show, primarily due to the ending episode. Because the show will soon be renewed for a second season, it will likely be a collaborative venture once more.

Relationships and reproduction have ceased to exist in the Plantations, inhabited by adults who are now immortal due to technological advances. Instead, youngsters known as “Parasites” are developed artificially to pilot huge mechas known as Franxxs and defend against the Klaxosaur danger.

In this setting, the story follows Hiro, a little child. Hiro, who aspires to be a Franxx pilot, loses his self-confidence and motivation after failing an aptitude test and skips his graduation ceremony, seeking refuge in a wilderness. 

Hiro finds a mysterious female in the jungle who introduces herself as Zero Two, a codename rumored to belong to an infamous Franxx pilot known as the “Partner Killer.” 

Before Hiro could even come to grips with the issue, Klaxosaurs attacked the plantation where he was. Zero Two leaves quickly in her mecha to combat the threat, but her teammate is killed in the ensuing battle, and the Franxx crashes near Hiro. 

Zero Two then requests Hiro’s assistance to repel the attack, and Hiro accepts. To redeem himself, Hiro resolves to continue their alliance after effortlessly defeating the Klaxosaur. The series covers Hiro’s many missions with Zero Two as his companion.
