The Apothecary Diaries anime has recently announced a Special Live Program that will air on June 20, 2025. This event is set to take place during the show’s regular broadcast time, which typically features the release of a new episode. As a result, there will be no new episode airing on that date, giving fans a short break from the ongoing storyline while offering them a chance to enjoy behind-the-scenes content and appearances from the voice cast.
In this article, we are going to cover every major development related to the Special Live Program and the new revised release schedule of the Apothecary Diaries Season 2.
The Apothecary Diaries Special Live Program and New Schedule
The Apothecary Diaries anime announced the news of a special program on their official X handle, stating that this program is scheduled for June 20, 2025, resulting in a one-week broadcast delay. This event, featuring voice actors Aoi Yuki (Maomao), Takeo Otsuka (Jinshi), Asami Seto (Shisui), and Kaori Nazuka (Suirei), will air during the regular time slot at 10:30 PM JST, replacing the usual episode.
This marks the second instance of a special program interrupting the regular broadcast schedule. Previously, on May 16, a live event featuring male cast members led to a similar one-week delay, with Episode 19 airing on May 23.
