The season will premiere on Tokyo MX on October 9 at 11:00 p.m. The show will also begin airing later on the Sun TV, TV Aichi, TV Q Kyuushuu, and BS11 channels.
The first season premiered on April 3, and aired for 12 episodes. Aniplus-Asia aired a simulcast of the series with English subtitles.
Odahiro Watanabe (Soul Buster, assistant director on Super Lovers 2, Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid) replaces Shuhei Morita as director for the anime at Pierrot. Pierrot+ is credited for animation production assistance. Chūji Mikasano returns from the first two Tokyo Ghoul anime to provide series composition and write the scripts. Atsuko Nakajima (Ranma ½, You're Under Arrest, Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto) replaces Kazuhiro Miwa as character designer.
Ishida serialized Tokyo Ghoul in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump from 2011 to 2014, before serializing Tokyo Ghoul:re. The sequel manga ended in July.
