Devils’ Crest will run for two consecutive cours, the anime's official website has confirmed. The adaptation of Sword Art Online creator Reki Kawahara's novels began streaming worldwide on Prime Video on November 6.
The news accompanied a new interview with Kawahara and series director Shinji Ushiro. The two discuss the story's world and its adaptation, including new material Kawahara supplied that was not depicted in the novels.
A consecutive two-cour run means the series is planned to continue across two back-to-back programming periods. The announcement does not give an exact episode count.
