Based on the light novel series written by Natsu Hyūga and illustrated by Touko Shino, this hit anime follows a loveable young girl called Maomao. Her story takes place in a fascinating setting: Tang dynasty China.

Maomao starts her life as an apprentice apothecary in the city's red light district, but she winds up being kidnapped and sold into servitude at the Imperial Palace.

Here, she begins a surprisingly successful new career solving medical mysteries among the emperor's court.

Following the show's first season in 2023 and 2024, season 2 is now airing new episodes weekly on Crunchyroll. But when can we expect The Apothecary Diaries season 2 dub to arrive? Read on to find out more.

Thanks to the show's international audience, it is being dubbed into multiple languages: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Spanish (Latin American and Castilian).
