IDFB 2 is an episode of IDFB that was released on October 1, 2026, after a long hiatus. It was planned to be released on October 1, 2016, but was delayed by Cary Huang entering college. It was pushed back to December 1, 2016. Still, it suffered a big delay and was postponed until further notice because Cary Huang and Michael Huang were in their sophomore year of college.

Before that, there was another month-long delay, and to make up for the postponement, Michael Huang made a short animation called Paper Towel. For the second delay, Michael planned to release another short on December 1, 2016; however, it has also been delayed for an unknown time.

Updates

On September 25, 2016, it was announced that IDFB 2 would be late due to Cary Huang entering his sophomore year at Stanford University, his former college. It was also announced that the .fla files would be released on bfdi.tv, and a short called Paper Towel was released on October 1, 2016, when IDFB 2 was supposed to be released.

On November 23, 2016, a video called BFDI's Best Hiatus Ever was released, explaining that IDFB is on an "intentional hiatus" so Cary and Michael can continue to work on past projects, such as Ten Words of Wisdom (TWOW), its future second season, Abacaba, and to finish the rest of BFDIA 5b.

On May 11, 2017, Cary Huang said he left college. Still, he wishes he had stayed, according to a video on his channel, Carykh, called "AI makes new BFDI screenshots! (2 min. of ML & 22 min. of Cary whining about problems)".

On June 22, 2017, the BFDI short Ballers was released, announcing a meetup in the Mix Restaurant in Anaheim, California.

"A host with a screen"

On October 22, 2017, Jacknjellify posted a tweet showing a drawing of a character that looks slightly like a VR headset, with the accompanying text "A host with a screen", apparently leaking the host of IDFB.

On November 3, 2017, the first episode of the fourth season, BFB, was released, known as "Getting Teardrop to Talk". It was never officially announced that IDFB 2 had been canceled, but it is still indefinitely delayed.

On August 31, 2023, a community post had been posted by Jacknjellify on Youtube, announcing a new episode. While many speculated that it could have been either IDFB 2 or TPOT 7, it turned out to be "Well Rested", an episode from BFDIA.

Trivia

Jacknjellify joking about the hiatus

• The following will happen if the episode comes out:
  • One character in the Tiny Loser Chamber, which is inside the Locker of Losers, will be brought back as decided by the viewers' vote as mentioned in IDFB 1, who might either be Pen or Match, as it's revealed that they earned over 6,000 votes combined.^{[citation needed]} BFB reveals that eventually every character manages to leave.^{[citation needed]}
  • The recommended character who received the most upvotes on the Recommended Character Reddit page will enter the TLC/LOL.
  • This episode will be the fifth episode ever where one contestant will leave the TLC, following "Insectophobe's Nightmare", "Half a Loaf Is Better Than None", "The Glistening", and "Hurtful!".
• As per recent statements made by the Huang twins, IDFB's indefinite hiatus has grown more ambiguous, as both Cary Huang's and Michael Huang's words regarding its future differ considerably.
  • During a live stream hosted on the Fernozzle YouTube channel, Michael briefly discusses why IDFB immediately went on hiatus after its premiere and states that it was too ambitious for them to work on it due to its grand popularity.
  • During one of Satomi Hinatsu's BFB animation live-streams on Hazel Cricket, a statement was put out by Cary Huang in the live chat section, which read that any secrets relating to IDFB could not be said until IDFB is finished, contradicting Michael's statement.
    • Cary also remarked on IDFB 2 in response to a question during Jacknjellify's 2018 BFDI meetup.
• The voting timer goes into the negatives on bfdi.tv. However, it was confirmed by Michael and Cary that this was on purpose. Cary has said on Discord that he's not fixing it because Michael made it, and it isn't doing any harm. The counter is now located on mail.bfdi.tv.
• This was the first episode that has been delayed twice.
• A video about the second delay of the episode called BFDI's Best Hiatus Ever was posted.
• This was the fifth episode to be delayed. The previous ones are "Zeeky Boogy Doog", "Get in the Van", "It's a Monster", and "Well Rested".
• The hiatus of this episode has been joked about by Michael Huang on Jacknjellify's Twitter when he tweeted that IDFB 1 had 3 million views, calling the views a "countdown to the next episode, and it keeps going up!"
  • IDFB 2 might also be possible that the top 25 upvoted recommended characters recommended from a Reddit thread, which ended up appearing in "Lick Your Way to Freedom" along with the others, will appear in this episode, as they were recommended to be in the episode.
