Medalist Anime Gets Sequel Movie, Premiering February 2027

Studio ENGI's Medalist is getting a movie sequel, set to premiere February 19, 2027. The announcement came after the TV anime's second season wrapped on March 22, and now a new teaser trailer and visual have dropped to confirm the date.

The original series, which debuted in January 2025 on Disney+, adapted Tsurumaikada's manga—a serialized run that began in May 2020 in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon. The source material has already proven its staying power: it won the 68th Shogakukan Manga Award in the general category, a significant nod in the industry.

For those tracking the franchise: the TV adaptation has now run two seasons, and the movie represents the natural next step for a property that's clearly resonated with audiences. The fact that a theatrical sequel is greenlit this quickly suggests the series has the momentum to sustain it. Whether the film will continue the narrative or offer a standalone story remains to be seen—but the teaser and visual are live now if you want to start speculating.
