Netflix has announced the worldwide streaming release date for My Happy Marriage Season 2, with the anime also showing off a new visual and revealing its opening and ending themes.
Netflix is fast becoming the go-to for anime fans both inside and outside of Japan, with the streaming service securing the rights to some of 2024’s biggest or most beloved titles.
In keeping with this, My Happy Marriage’s X/Twitter account announced at a recent fan event in Japan that the series, which is due to resume airing with Season 2 on January 6, will be streamed on Netflix for viewers worldwide. It also noted that other streaming providers, like Crunchyroll in the US, will stream the series.
The anime tells the story of Miyo Saitori, who is born unmagical in an alternative Japan where magic exists, the scion of a prestigious magical family.
After years of abuse by her stepmother, Miyo is finally betrothed to a commander, Kiyoka Kudō, who’s so cold that his last few fiancés ran away in terror. Faced with an even worse future, Miyo tries to make the best of a bad lot, only to realize her new future husband is not as he appears.

My Happy Marriage was originally written by Akumi Agitogi on the Japanese writing platform Let’s become Novelists! (Shōsetsuka ni Narō!) before finding a home with Japanese publisher Fijimi Shobo. The light novels, with illustrations by Tsukiho Tsukioka, were later picked up and published in Japan, with Yen Press acquiring the rights in English while Square Enix published the manga. The series has also been adapted into a live-action movie, which was released in Japan in March 2023.
