reminder reliable leakers like this are 90% correct most of the time so there is a chance they are wrong too
like maybe a second cour is planned too

Considering the quality of the animation, and TV series production starting only AFTER the one hour special, I'm not surprised this is a single cour.
That said, it's pretty likely it'll eventually be fully adapted.

yeah my thoughts exactly. it would be amazing if they released more in the near future but I don't have hope seeing how good the production quality is.

I'd rather they take their time. I'll just watch this season and maybe go read the LN.

Seeing the previous seasons of fate series i think fate/ strange fake will be divided into 2 Cour, but if every episode gonna be about one hour then maybe we'll only get single cour and if every episode will be 25 minutes long then we'll get 2 cour.

@Nikhil_Kumar888 episode 1 already debunked that it dropped earlier and was 25 min.

Here as proof

I think it's more F/SF is 10 novel volumes. with the anime standard being 2-4 volumes per cour, I would say we need 2.5-3 cours of anime to fully adapt it without rushing the story

As expected, as the user above me mentioned, they are going to follow the same patterns of the other two most popular and well-received Fate franchise animes that aired on TV weekly (Zero and UBW-2014/2015)

13 episodes on Winter 2026 (Hopefully no delays and all 13 episodes air on Winter 2026)

And then the other 10-to-13 episodes on either Summer 2026 or Fall 2026

And then thats it

Ha...hahaha...

Not even 24 episodes. You know, I am not even mad, the production is total mess.

I really hope I don't have to wait 10 more years for s2. Or someone actually licenses and publishes manga/novel in NA so I don't have to wait at all.
