Total seasons of drifters:
I first got hooked on Drifters when a friend gave me a link to a manga written and illustrated by Kouta Hirano. So I was a fan of the story even before watching the anime.
Although the manga has 6 volumes and is still releasing more. Drifters only have one anime adaptation. Hoods Drifters Studio produced the anime. Twelve episodes and 3 OVAs aired from October 7, 2016, to 2018.
Drifter Season 2 release date:
Well, if you’ve seen the anime before, you can assume a hint from the last episode. Fans have assured that the series will return for another season. But no official announcement remains.
Since the first season spanned 3 volumes of the manga, there are only 3 volumes left for the second season. Thus, the source material may not be enough to produce the following season. But the good news is that the production team and author are both hard at writing more content.

Only a few factors predict whether the series will have another season. First, the source material is an essential factor. As I mentioned before, let’s move on to the next factor.
