Animaniacs Season Two (Soundtrack from the Animated Series) is a soundtrack album compiling the various songs that were present in Season Two of the Animaniacs reboot. The album was released to digital stores and streaming outlets on August 19, 2022.[1] Much like other Animaniacs-related albums, some songs contain minor differences in their instrumentals and vocal performances. Additionally, some songs are also extended compared to their lengths in the series itself.
It follows the Season One album from 2021, and is followed-by the Season Three album in 2023.
In 2024, each of the prior three reboot albums were compiled into a special vinyl set: Animaniacs: Seasons 1 – 3 (Soundtrack from the Animated Series), released by iam8bit under a license from WaterTower Music.

Trivia
- Much like the Season One album, this album is available in regions that have not yet received the reboot itself.
- Unlike the album cover for Season One, this season's album cover does not reuse the any prior assets from its promotional campaign (including those from the uniform "orange"-style). Instead, it depicts new art featuring Brain and Pinky in their "Brain and Narfunkel" personas in a setting inspired by the episode "Narf Over Troubled Water."
- This is the first Animaniacs-related soundtrack album to both depict only Pinky and the Brain on the cover and not show the Warners on it since 1997's Bubba Bo Bob Brain. However, unlike Bubba Bo Bob Brain, songs by the Warners are still featured.
- This is also the only Animaniacs reboot album to not feature the Warners or the Water Tower on the cover art.
- The album has currently (beginning of March 2025) 1,4 million streams on Spotify, it's most popular track it's The Bayeux Tapestry with 194 thousand streams and it's least popular is Narf Day Song With The Brain with 19 thousand streams
