Classroom of the Elite Season 2: The Plot
As we know the series Classroom of the Elite has been taken from the Japanese light novel. So, we can say that the plot of the story is fictional and we can see the portrayal of future Japan where Metropolitan schools are run by the government to create an environment of freedom for the students and nurture them more efficiently. The show revolves around engaging characters who study in Kodo Ikusei which is a prestigious school set up with the best facilities. Kodo Ikusei is considered as a paradise-like school as the students are free to wear whatever they want. The school is set up keeping in mind that a good amount of freedom is given to each student. The students of the school are divided into four classes: A, B, C, and D.
The main protagonist of the story Kiyotaka Ayanokōji is shown as a student of D-Class, who is considered inferior among others. Kiyotaka is a quiet, introverted, and unmotivated student, not good at communicating with others and prefers to stay alone. Despite providing state-of-the-art facilities, the school was not impartial on some grounds, as the students of elite class always got favorable treatment over others. Kiyotaka remained an unassumed character in the beginning but his situation begins to improve on meeting his classmates Suzune Horikita and Kikyō Kushida. We cannot predict anything for the plot of season 2 but it is guessed that directors may include the next volumes of the light novel to continue the pace of season 1.
Classroom of the Elite Season 2: Crew and Other Updates
Till now, the only first season of the series has been telecasted on Japanese Channels and English Channels also. The director of the show is Hiroyuki Hashimoto and Seiji Kisi and produced by Shō Tanaka, Masahito Ikemoto, Ashitate Harutaka, Aya Iizuka, Hideo Itō, Meiko Tsuruta, Yūta Kashiwabara, and Mitsuhiro Ogata.

There is no clue about the release of season 2 of the series as we are still waiting for the official announcement. Amidst all the rumors and heated discussions, we would suggest you to just wait patiently for any updates in the coming days.
