The release is not likely to happen in 2020 as it is kind of impossible at this time. The series takes its aviation in 2021. Seeing the growing hype of Overlord on Social Media the producers are likely to come up with a trailer soon.

And it is plausible that the storylines resume from where it dropped off. The next season may include the demise of Frost Dragons which appeared out of thin air in the last season.
