What can you do if you miss this mysterious story?
The Promised Neverland (Yakusoku no Neverland) is a story about a seemingly cheerful orphanage turning out to be a place where children are raised like cattle just to be sold to hideous monsters and eaten by them.
This anime has gotten thousands of fans excited and made them watch every single thing happening on their screens with genuine trepidation. However, about eighty percent of conversations about this series now include the complaints about the second season, which is highly criticized by the audience.
The sheer disappointment the fans felt resulted in them asking for a reboot of the show, and we're here to speculate on this issue and try to predict if there's such a possibility.

First of all, let's start with defining what sort of reboot the series needs. Some fans suggest that season 1 doesn't need any changes as it was already marvelous. It was quite true to the manga, had a conclusive ending and resolved all the main conflicts of the season. The first part of The Promised Neverland is considered to be a huge success, so the viewers don't feel the need to see it remade. The second season, on the other hand, is a completely different story.
Fans agree that its deviation from the manga and questionable plot decisions ruined the entire experience for them. This leads us to the idea that a reboot is only needed for the sequel of the series. However, we can't predict when exactly such a reboot might happen.
For example, it took more than 10 years for Hunter x Hunter, and for Fruits Basket it was almost 20 years. After such a long hiatus the fans will definitely need a full reboot because very few people will probably want to watch a 20-year old anime just to enjoy something new.
It feels like fans agree that The Promised Neverland reboot is quite possible, though, due to the series success. The series has sold over 40 million copies, people keep talking about it even now, and almost every anime merch shop has something to offer with the characters of this anime. The failure of the second season must have shown the creators what the best way of adapting the manga is, and there's hoping that they will take their mistakes into account and try to start over.
Although we can't know for sure that this reboot will ever happen, fans agree that it would be a great idea, and they'll be super excited to see The Promised Neverland back on their screens even if they have to wait many years for that. And if you're really impatient, you have the manga to keep you company while waiting.
