According to the manga, Season 2 will follow two story arcs – Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga and Moro Arc – where Goku and Vegeta face an extremely powerful wizard who drains planets of life force, representing their biggest challenge since Frieza himself.
Season 2 will feature more antagonists from Universe 7, such as Beerus the God of Destruction who will attempt to destroy Goku. Meanwhile, members of the Red Ribbon Army who survived Goku’s assault may seek revenge against him and his allies.
Tien Shinhan (Tian Jin Fan in Japanese animation and Shinto in Harmony Gold dub) joins the Red Ribbon Army as an antagonist, rival to Master Roshi, and attempts to kill Goku and the other students of Planet Vegeta; he is defeated by Nappa however, and trained under King Kai until revived by Namekian Dragon Balls and revived back into life again, whereupon he joins his Red Ribbon Army allies, such as Doctor Gero (dokutagero or Dokuta Gero) together seek revenge against Goku.

According to reliable Twitter leakers @DBSChronicles and @DBSHype, Dragon Ball Super Season 2 will pick up where Universe Survival Saga left off, following the Z fighters through an exciting battle against Cell. Furthermore, according to these sources Akira Toriyama himself will be involved with this project and therefore fans are anxiously waiting to hear more details on its sequel.
Conclusion
However, any information regarding an anime should be treated with caution until there is an official announcement from Toei Animation. Until that occurs, it would be prudent not to get too excited.
One of the first indications of Dragon Ball Super Season 2 came from an interview conducted with an animator from Toei Animation and posted to their website, appearing to confirm its sequel. Later it became evident that this information may have been misinterpreted or simply was an urban legend.
