The first season came out on October 6, 2016, and continued till December 22 of the same year. Only having 12 episodes, it did not last a year.

The question is, when will Yuri on Ice Season 2 air?
Unfortunately, there has been no announcement yet regarding the official release date of Yuri on Ice Season 2. The creators of the anime series have yet to confirm its renewal. Although, we can keep our hopes high because there is plenty of time and story for another season.
Rumors have also been spreading that the show might be back for the second season this 2022 or early 2023, so, watch out for it!
Yuri on Ice Season 2 Expected Plot
Since we do not have the confirmation yet about the renewal of Yuri on Ice Season 2, we cannot say for sure what is bound to happen in the next installment.
If you have seen Season 1 already, you probably know that the show follows the story of Yuri Katsuki, a 23 – year – old Japanese figure skater, who decides to put a hold on his career after having second thoughts on his abilities.
When Yuri returns to his hometown in Kyushu, he goes to meet with his friend Yuko and there he mimics the tactics of his idol who is a Russian figure skating champion. However, his mimicry was videotaped secretly and it was uploaded on the internet.

We can expect that in the second season, it will be more about exploring the relationship between Yuri and Victor since it was established that they are no more than just a trainee and a coach. The viewers might be able to see more mature content as the relationship of Yuri and Victor progresses.
