Although Takaharu Ozaki, the director of the first season, is now serving as the chief director, the continuity of talent ensures a seamless transition. Hideyuki Kurata, the series composer and scriptwriter, as well as Kenichirou Suehiro, the music composer, are both returning to reprise their crucial roles in shaping the enchanting world of Goblin Slayer.

Yui Ogura lends her voice to the role of Priestess, while Yuka Iguchi takes on the character of Cow Girl. Maaya Uchida brilliantly voices Guild Girl, Nao Touyama brings life to High Elf Archer, and Yuuichi Nakamura takes the role of Dwarf Shaman. Lastly, the esteemed Tomokazu Sugita graces the series as Lizard Priest, ensuring an unforgettable performance by this remarkable ensemble cast.

According to Yen Press, the light novel series is described as: "A young priestess has formed her first adventuring party, but almost immediately they find themselves in distress. It’s the Goblin Slayer who comes to their rescue–a man who’s dedicated his life to the extermination of all goblins, by any means necessary. And when rumors of his feats begin to circulate, there’s no telling who might come calling next…"
