It's misleading to say that, since they didn't skip to anything recognizably from the manga. Things aren't the state they were at the start of the Goldy Pond arc, but there's also nothing stopping them from doing something similar to it later. Assuming they don't find a way to end the entire series in seven episodes.

There are some people saying that nothing is confirmed, but they are just in denial. Yes everything important for the next arc has been skipped so far and the latest episode shows us the series going into another cat and mouse game with Isabella.
I think they will skip Goldy Pond arc and all the characters and will just skip ahead even more and find the walls and everything sooner than expected. Some other things will change and we will get the ending this season (maybe even changed). So far there is just no single indication that Goldy Pond will happen (Yugo even left a written note that he will go back to the human world and he is nowhere to be found).
In a way I like it because the Grace Field kids were useless after meeting the Goldy Pond arc kids and all, but on the other hand Goldy Pond was my second favourite arc and I love Yugo.
Best case is that they use this new thing here to develop Isabella a bit more for her ending arc, develop the Grace Field kids a little more and give them something to do and then do Goldy Pond and Yugo etc. next season and go from there, but to be honest I can't see it. There are also some other strange differences like the telephone that suddenly looks...very modern. Maybe they have something in mind for the anime and will change it completely after it went to shit in the manga. I don't know if most people thought like that and the author knows, but it could be a point.
Weird, for anime season 2 it seems like they still have to go to Goldy Pond to get the info about the Seven Walls/experimental research center, but why reshape everything this way compared to the manga? I guess Mister and Lucas wont be characters in the anime or will one of the 2 be at Goldy Pond? They can't have another invasion of the bunker so I guess they can have Lucas/Mister die in the Goldy Pond arc?
Would be a shame to skip the Goldy Pond arc as it was my 2nd favorite arc in the manga.

I wouldn't say no hope, but they could already be in end game with what happened this episode.

So take this all with a grain of salt, but it sounds like the second season's production schedule was a mess even before Shirai got involved.
One of the animators posted a rant on Twitter that has since been deleted. Here's a snapshot of it from /a/.
Here's a translation from someone on Discord that I found in the same thread.
Unless someone can provide a better translation at least.

Wow...what were they thinking with this? Abandoned a huge chunk of the story and a number of great characters, and it's suuuuper rushed while also slowing down for random stuff that isn't terribly interesting. Handled very poorly and the story is worse for it.
Funimation isn't loading the episode, but the description really looks like they're skipping to the endgame.
Norman, thought to have been shipped, stands before Emma and Ray. It is a reunion they never dreamed of, and they embrace tearfully. Norman reveals his plan to create the future Emma wants, where the children can live happily.
Like I wish they kind of advertised the anime like this up front, then I could have been prepared for it, actully if they want to doit, then there was a way to better adapt everything in between in a much better way that has been done to go from the escape from the farm to the endgame
I don't see why they did this...the series is soooo popular, it's a huge, recent live-action film, they could have done an awesome anime version of the manga material. They didn't have to add filler or milk it, the story moves quite nicely, if anything, the ending arc was the weakest part (imo), and that's what they're directly cutting too. Just feels like an own goal.
Yeah, I just watched it and it's ending this season. They definitely could have better worded the "anime original scenario" to let people know it's a whole new story and not something additional.
Also, they've added Norman and his group to the OP.
Hopefully in a few years another studio can redo the series from the end of season one.
At the pace this season's been going? Doubt it.
Can't believe they were literally just handed the answers to all of their problems

I don't think I would've watched even a well-produced and faithful anime adaptation of the manga but it's still kinda sad to see that this season has gotten to the point where the writers seemingly don't want to be attached to it anymore.
What happened to this series in general is just sad.
Neverland just had its own artbook so probably all unrelated Posuka Demizu art
End of thread had an interesting point. Wonder if it was already a rough production then covid made it worse, but series was too high profile to not push it through.
Even though was down on the series at the end, kind of still looking forward to their next work after liking their one shots since then.

Covid being a big reason would not be surprising.
And yeah I'd also be interested in their next work if one comes out. I've enjoyed the one-shots and special TPN chapters that have come out since serialization ended.
I have heard theories that all the cutting is due to not wanting to show the kids with guns. This is best exemplified in the final standoff with Peter Ratri, where all the Moms have guns, but the kids don't (where in the manga, everyone had guns).
Seems like a weird censorship choice.

Could they not move to a later timeslot that would allow such a thing?
No clue. I don't know what time it airs in Japan.
Would it help though? Jojo aired in the middle of the night and they still censored Jotaro's smoking.
I guess?
It's just weird since that mobile app they showed off recently had the kids wielding guns, but maybe games have less restrictions here.

Yakusoku no Neverland 2nd Season
Emma, Ray, and the rest of the older children have escaped the confines of the Grace Field House. However, with relentless demons set on capturing them, their arduous battle for freedom has only just begun. Despite venturing into the treacherous wilderness, the children remain optimistic due to...
myanimelist.net
The show airs at 1am. There's no more lenient timeslot they could move to.
Though because of that timeslot, I don't really think the children using guns would be a problem. If it is though, that's a problem of their own making as they chose not to go through with the manga's timeskip as far as I can tell.

I mean, they were using guns pre-timeskip too. During Goldy Pond.
I wish we could get a postmortem article on TPN Season 2 and find out what went wrong.
Man, what a let down.. would've preferred them to cover the Goldy Pond then drop the series altogether for all I care. And what was that about the "original scenarios"? Didn't they just rewrite the original one with cutting most of the content to the point nothing was making any sense anymore! There was no fucking original scenarios whatsoever smh
