The second season of Akademi Fantasia premiered on 7 June 2004 and concluded on 14 August 2004 on the Astro Ria television channel. Aznil Nawawi continued as the show's host, while Kudsia Kahar returned as judges. The second season was won by Ahmad Zahid Baharuddin, who defeated Norlinda Nanuwil. This season also featured Kaer Azami, who would subsequently win the 2008 Malaysian Music Awards for Best Song.

Unlike previous season which was solely opened for people from Peninsular Malaysia, this season was eligible for contestants from East Malaysia. The final 12 contestants were revealed in Tirai Akademi Fantasia which was aired at the end of May and early June.

A new format this season was introduced which enabled a student who was eliminated to be re-entered into the competition through a voting line called AFMASUK. Using this voting line, audience would vote any students who were eliminated throughout the season and the one student who received the highest votes would be re-entered into the competition. This new format is subsequently used in seasons 4, 7 and 8.

This entire season holds the highest reception of votes in the history of Akademi Fantasia with 15 million votes being cast.[1][2]
