The official Twitter account confirmed plans for a second season, with further details to be announced at a later date.
The anime began airing in fall 2021 and consists of 12 episodes. The final episode will air on January 3, 2022. The anime is directed by Yuu Nobuta and produced by Children's Playground Entertainment. The original Faraway Paladin novels are published in Japan by Overlap under their Overlap Bunko imprint.
J-Novel Club releases the novels and the manga adaptation by Mutsumi Okuhashi in English and describes the story as follows:
In a long-ruined city of the dead, far from human civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and he is raised by three undead: the hearty skeletal warrior Blood, the graceful mummified priestess Mary, and the crotchety ghost wizard Gus. The three pour love into the boy and teach him all they know. But one day, Will starts to wonder, "Who am I?"
Will must unravel the mysteries of this faraway land of the dead and uncover the undead’s hidden pasts. He must learn of the love and mercy of the good gods and the hypocrisy and madness of the evil gods. And once he knows it all, the boy will take his first step on the path to becoming a paladin.
"I promised you. It will take some time, but I will tell you everything. This is the story of the deaths of many heroes. It is the story of how we died, and it is the reason you grew up here."
