Lord of the Mysteries, the Chinese animation series, finally premiered in the Summer of 2025 following years of anticipation. Eight episodes have aired so far, and they have already become one of the highest-rated anime episodes of the year. As you can see, this donghua series has been exploding in popularity in recent times and is rapidly building a strong fanbase. While we thought this widespread success would result in a LOTM anime season 2 renewal, Tencent and B.CMAY Pictures have surprised the fandom by revealing the complete timeline of the Lord of the Mysteries anime.
During the Tencent Video Anime Awards Annual Conference (2025), it was officially announced that the Lord of the Mysteries anime will have six seasons, concluding with a final movie that completes the adaptation of the web novel.

Additionally, Lord of the Mysteries season 2, scheduled for 2027, is confirmed to feature 30 episodes, whereas the first season consisted of a total of 13 episodes. If you are worried about the long break in between each season, two special episodes are airing during that time to keep the fans entertained.
As you can see, the production studios have full confidence in the Lord of the Mysteries anime series as they outlined a decade-long content plan and unveiled the complete release timeline to fans as well. The Lord of the Mysteries is a mega IP similar to One Piece.
