LION FORGE ENTERTAINMENT UNVEILS EXCLUSIVE "IYANU" SEASON 2 CLIP AND ANNOUNCES SPRING 2026 LAUNCH

The hit animated series returns, continuing the epic Yoruba-inspired saga of courage, destiny, and divine power.

October 11th, 2025 - Just in time for Day 3 of New York Comic Con 2025, Lion Forge Entertainment (LFE) has dropped an exclusive sneak-peek clip from Season 2 of Iyanu, the hit Cartoon Network and HBO Max animated series inspired by Yoruba mythology. It was also announced that Season 2 of Iyanu will premiere in spring 2026 on Cartoon Network and HBO Max, promising new battles, new wonders, and more secrets of Yorubaland.

The clip teases The Chosen's next great trial, as Iyanu (voiced by Serah Johnson) and Team

Chosen face the return of Zaza and the People of the Deep, the most dangerous faction in all of Yorubaland - led by the formidable and charismatic Queen Adura. But this time, Iyanu is guided by her knowledge of the Divine Ones, empowered by new abilities, and disciplined through training in the Way of the Golden Leaf, a dynamic fighting style inspired by Capoeira and taught to her by Olori (voiced by Adesua Etomi-Wellington). Every lesson and every battle has prepared her for this moment.

Based on the graphic novel series Iyanu: Child of Wonder by Roye Okupe, who also serves as creator, showrunner, and executive producer of the series, Iyanu follows a teenage orphan who discovers her divine powers and her destiny to save the ancient kingdom of Yorubaland.

Produced by Lion Forge Entertainment, a leading Black-owned entertainment studio in North America, the series has become a breakout hit: it's a Top 10 Kids and Family title on HBO Max, it was No. 1 in the Kids 6-12 category during its first month on Cartoon Network in April, and remains the #1 Kids and Family title on Showmax across 44 African countries. It's also running on ITVX in the UK and streaming on ABCiview in Australia.

Season Two will return with 10 new episodes where we'll see Iyanu continue to master her divine powers as she finds herself in the midst of a fierce conflict between Elu and the People of the Deep, led by the formidable Adura. With various factions of Yorubaland vying for powerful divine artifacts that have reemerged, Iyanu strives to find a way to end the battle and restore peace. As Team Chosen reunites and tensions rise between old allies and foes, Iyanu must confront even more powerful threats from the Age of Wonders including secrets buried deep within her own past.

Fans can revisit the story that started, all of Season 1 including the season-finale movie special

Iyanu: The Age of Wonders, which is streaming on HBO Max (U.S.). In addition, the official Iyanu Shop is now open at shop.iyanutheseries.com, offering fans exclusive apparel, and collectibles.
