Gold on the Horizon: Medalist Season 2 English Dub Lands on Hulu This May

Posted on by

The ice is fresh, the stakes are higher, and the wait is finally over for fans of the most heart-wrenching sports anime in recent memory. After a stellar Japanese broadcast, the English dub of Medalist Season 2 is officially set to premiere on Hulu on May 4th.

For those who have been following Inori’s journey, this date marks a major milestone. While the second season has already begun making waves in its subtitled format, the English dub brings back the vocal performances that helped ground the series’ intense emotional beats in Season 1.

Why May 4th is the Date to Watch

The premiere comes at a perfect time for fans to dive back into the world of competitive figure skating. Following a brief delay in the U.S. release—reportedly to avoid the noise of the Winter Olympics—Hulu is now clearing the ice for Inori and Tsukasa’s return.

Season 2 picks up right where the “Regional Championship” arc left off, focusing on Inori’s climb through the Novice ranks as she prepares for the ultimate showdown: the All-Japan Novice Tournament. The season is expected to cover the intensive “Quadruple Salchow” training arc, highlighting the physical and mental toll that professional skating takes on young athletes.

What to Expect in Season 2

If Season 1 was about Inori finding her confidence, Season 2 is about her finding her edge. Here is what makes the upcoming dub premiere a must-watch:

  • Elevated Animation: Studio ENGI has returned with even more sophisticated 3DCG choreography. The skating sequences aren’t just snapshots of jumps; they are full-length, beautifully directed performances that capture the grace and brutality of the sport.

  • The Rivalry Deepens: Inori’s shadow, the prodigy Hikaru, looms larger than ever. This season focuses on the grueling preparation required to stand on the same stage as a “genius.”

  • New Challenges: Look out for new characters and coaching staff who push Tsukasa to evolve as a mentor, proving that the road to the gold isn’t just paved for the skaters, but for their coaches too.

How to Watch

Starting May 4th, Hulu will begin rolling out the dubbed episodes. Fans who have access to the Hulu-Disney+ bundle will also be able to stream the series directly through the Disney+ app.

Whether you’re a returning fan or a newcomer looking for a story about grit, grief, and the glory of the rink, Medalist remains the gold standard of modern sports anime. Mark your calendars—Inori is ready to take her next leap
