The dust has barely settled on the battlefield of Kingdom Season 6, but the hype train isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
Immediately following the broadcast of the final episode on December 27, 2025, it was officially announced that a sequel to Season 6 is already in production—a swift confirmation that signals strong confidence in the franchise’s momentum.
For fans who have followed Shin’s journey from war orphan to general, this announcement feels like a perfectly timed late-holiday reward. Here’s a complete breakdown of what’s been revealed so far and what lies ahead as the Gyou Campaign intensifies.
The Big Reveal: Yotanwa and Bajio Take Center Stage
The sequel announcement didn’t arrive quietly.
Alongside a special report video, a striking new key visual was released featuring a blood-stained Yotanwa, the fearsome Lord of the Mountains, standing beside her unwavering right-hand man, Bajio.
This visual is more than promotional art—it directly signals the brutal escalation of the conflict to come.
While a premiere date has not yet been confirmed, the production team released two special recap videos on YouTube, revisiting Season 6’s events. These recaps are paired with:
Opening Theme: Ikite, Sansan by Ikimonogakari
Ending Theme: HOKO by Sora Tomonari
Together, they serve as both a refresher and a tonal bridge into the sequel.
Plot Teasers: The Battle for Gyou Heats Up
Season 6 concluded with Episode 13, “The View of a Great General,” which aired on NHK General.
The season centered on the Western Zhao Invasion, with Qin’s forces targeting the supposedly “unbreakable” city of Gyou—a turning point in Ei Sei’s unification campaign.
According to official information, the sequel will push this conflict into even more incandescent territory.
The narrative focus is expected to shift toward:
The clash of pride between Yotanwa and King Rozo
The rising threat of the Quanrong (Grand Inujun tribe)
The fate of the Qin–mountain tribe alliance
At the heart of it all lies one question:
Can Gyou finally be brought to its knees?

Final Thoughts
The rapid confirmation of a sequel immediately after the Season 6 finale reinforces one truth:
Kingdom remains a titan of the historical epic genre.
With the spotlight shifting to the mountain tribes, escalating warfare, and the unforgiving Zhao front, the stakes have never been higher—for Shin, Ei Sei, and the dream of a unified China.
The war is far from over.
