BanG Dream! is a multi-media franchise revolving around all-female music groups. The franchise so far consists of an anime, smartphone game, various manga, a novel, as well as live concerts featuring the real-life members of the bands. After the first season of the anime aired during the Winter 2017 season, it has been announced that 2019 will be seeing not one, but two new seasons of BanG Dream!. The second season is set to air from January 2019 and the third season will air from October 2019. Unlike the first season, the anime production for the new seasons will be headed by Sanzigen.

A mini-anime featuring chibi versions of the characters will also air during the BanG Dream! variety programme BanG Dream! TV from 5 July 2018. The mini-anime will be titled BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!★Pico and will also be available on the official YouTube Channel.

It has also been announced that the 5th BanG Dream! live concert, Special BanG!, will be getting a TV broadcast! The concert will be shown on Tokyo MX and TV Aichi sometime in late July.

Finally, this summer, BanG Dream will be having a special tie-up with Sega’s upcoming arcade rhythm game ONGEKI. Founders from each group will be getting physical cards which can be used in the game to bring up CG models of the characters on-screen.
