The fantasy animated series Blessing from Heaven Official was based on a popular Chinese web novel. The show, which is also known as Tian Guan Ci Fu in Mandarin, had its 2020 premiere on Jinjiang Literature City, a website in China that has web novels serialized.
The protagonists of the story are Hua Cheng, the king of the afterlife, and Xie Lian, a reincarnated god. In any case, where is Heaven’s Official Blessing Season 2 at the moment? Originally released in China at the tail end of October 2020, Bilibili and Funimation adapted Heaven Official’s Blessing into a donghua cartoon.
On top of that, Funimation was the first to sub for a Donghua animation. A later date came when Netflix began streaming the first season to countries other than China. Even though it is coming, the release of the second season has garnered very little notice.
Where to watch Heaven Official’s Blessing Season 2?
Season 2 of Heaven Official’s Blessing, with English subtitles, will debut in October 2023, according to Crunchyroll. A total of twelve episodes will air every week throughout the series, carrying on the gripping plot that first captivated viewers.

Despite his early ascent to heaven, he was swiftly sent to Earth as a result of misfortune. A few minutes after his ascent, he is expelled again, this time after years of trying.
Now, after eight centuries, Xie Lian takes flight once more, this time as the object of ridicule in all three kingdoms.

To make amends with the gods, they have assigned him the responsibility of banishing spirits from the mortal realm. Even though he has fallen from grace, Xie Lian has not lost his humility and is still helping the regular people.
As the ruler of Ghost City, Hua Cheng (also known as San Lang) assumes several guises. He is the only true believer in Xie Lian. Hua Cheng, a Supreme Ghost, is dreaded by both gods and ghosts, yet in Xie Lian’s presence, he softens into a loving nature.
Xie Lian and Hua Cheng originally crossed paths when Xie was a little child. The adored Crown Prince Xie Lian rescued the youngster from a tumble. Xie Lian’s ultimate disappearance didn’t shake Hua Cheng’s faith in him, and she waited 800 years to see him again.
