Owl House Season 2 News & Updates: Everything We Know

WARNING: The following contains SPOILERS for The Owl House season 1.

Season 2 of the hit cartoon series The Owl House is finally premiering June 12, 2021; here’s everything we know. Created by artist and writer Dana Terrace, the series began airing in the first half of 2020 and was renewed for a second season ahead of its debut. This decision turned out to be a wise one as the show has become very popular, with a very active fandom online. Its popularity is sure to only grow as season 2 airs.

The Owl House follows Luz Noceda, a teenage girl who’s accidentally transported from the “real” world to the Boiling Isles, a fantasy realm full of monsters and magic. There, she becomes the apprentice of Eda the Owl Lady, and trains to become the first-ever human witch. The series stands out due to its unique blend of comedy, adventure, and dark fantasy elements. It pulls inspiration from everything from Harry Potter to Hieronymus Bosch to horror films.

At the end of The Owl House season 1, Luz outwitted Emperor Belos and saved Eda’s life, but at the cost of both Eda’s magic and Luz’s only way back home. The story ended with the main characters still fugitives, but also with Eda’s sister Lilith joining their ranks after she betrayed Belos and left the Emperor’s coven, also losing her magic in the process. Here’s everything we know about The Owl House season 2.
