Plot
“"Japari Park", an all-inclusive, giant zoo built somewhere in this world. There, a strange phenomenon where animals took on the shape of humans had occurred......
These animals, who'd come to be known as "Friends", were living peacefully in the Park. One day, the Friends Serval and Caracal met a human child within the forest. Something appeared to be troubling the hungry human child, so they embarked on a journey with Serval and company. During their journey, they encounter Friends overflowing with personality, as well as the Park's secrets and delicious food! And... find themselves in an earth-shaking dilemma!?
A new story of Japari Park begins now!!”

Production
The second season was officially announced via Guidebook 5 on July 26th, 2017. At the time, Kemono Friends 2 was to be produced by Yaoyorozu like the first season; however, the events of the TATSUKI scandal which involved Yaoyorozu being dropped from the project left the future of Kemono Friends 2 in doubt. Details were scarce until the first official PV premiered on September 2nd, 2018, over a year after the second season announcement. Shortly after, on September 19th, a Twitter account was opened revealing the first key visual for the series, which was continually updated with new characters that will be appearing as time went on. On October 29th, 2018, the broadcast date and main cast list was finally revealed via the official Kemono Friends website. At this point, the director was revealed as Ryuichi Kimura, known for his work on the Aikatsu! franchise, and the studio producing the anime was revealed as Tomason.

Trivia
- Kemono Friends 2 continues the "animal facts" eyecatches that lead into and out of commercial breaks, but in a different format. While season one featured zookeepers from Japan and overseas explaining facts about animals featured in the episodes, season two features Aya Uchida (Mirai), who voices most of the segments, towana (Nana) who voices Eurasian Eagle-Owl's segment, and two guest voices, Chika Sakamoto for Giant Panda and Hironori Sakamoto for Northern White-Faced Owl. The official key art is accompanied by National Geographic stock footage. The voiceover work also featured Higejii, the mascot character from the NHK children's educational show Darwin ga Kita! (known as Darwin's Amazing Animals on NHK World). Unlike season one, these eyecatches aren't included in Crunchyroll's simulcast of the episodes, presumably due to copyright issues stemming from the use of National Geographic's footage.
