According to Screenrant, Funimation, the company that acquired the rights to the animated series, has just confirmed that “Attack on Titan” season 2 will premiere in April 2017. Chief Operating Officer and Executive Producer Mike Dubois said that they are looking forward to premiering the new season on FunimationNow.

Indeed, fans have been eagerly anticipating any news about “Attack on Titan’ season 2 as some have begun speculating about the new season’s plot. There have been rumors that the new installment will be based on some chapters of Hajime Isayama’s manga series of the same title, namely chapters “Clash of the Titans” and “Uprising Arcs.”
It has also been said that “Attack on Titan” season 2 will feature a new kind of Titan. It was said that this Titan is almost as intelligent as a human, and that it even has the ability to talk just like any other person.
