‘Peter Grill and the Philosopher’s Time’ is a fantasy comedy ecchi manga created by Daisuke Hiyama. It was released by Tokyo-based publishing company Futabasha and serialized in their magazine ‘Monthly Action’ since 2017. The Japanese animation studio Wolfsbane picked up the series for an anime adaption in 2020 for a first season of twelve episodes. The second season is being co-developed by Animation Studio Seven with Sentai announcing that they are releasing it in North America.
“Sentai announced today that it acquired the second season of Peter Grill and the Philosopher’s Time, the outrageously irreverent comedy anime series based on Daisuke Hiyama’s manga of the same name that delighted anime fans with laugh-out-loud humor and cheeky innuendo. The series will premiere on HIDIVE in 2022,” they said on their website.
“Peter Grill is back and ready for action,” they continued. “Between quelling a goblin incursion, improving trade negotiations with the dwarves and placating a watchful sister who might just go berserk to keep him in line, Peter has his work cut out for him. He’s the most sought-after hero in the land…and that’s before counting the myriad woman interested in his “other” talents. It will take every last scrap of Peter’s willpower to keep his focus on heroing…”
The show is directed by Tatsumi, written by Nora Mōri, and Rui Ishige is handling the character designs.

Wikipedia describes the synopsis as follows,
“Peter Grill, warrior of the Brave Swordsmen’s Guild, has emerged victorious at an international fighting tournament and is crowned the strongest man in the world. Peter uses this victory to gain permission from Guildmaster Sanctus to marry his beloved daughter and fellow Guildmember, Luvelia. However, women from other races have heard of Peter’s exploits and seek the “seed” of the strongest warrior to continue their respective bloodlines. Meanwhile, the Guildmaster’s obsession with his own daughter drives him to find a way to end Luvelia’s relationship, as Peter tries to hide his new lovers from them both.”
Seven Seas Entertainment holds the license to release the manga in the United States.
