LOL, your "pretty accurate source" is fake. If you're to the largest Attack on Titan encyclopedia on the Internet it would be good if you take a look at the anime article:

"A second season is scheduled for an April 2017 premiere."

"On July 3, during the Attack on Titan: Junior High Reading & Live Event, it was confirmed that the season [will be released] during the Spring 2017 anime season that starts in April. A letter by Hajime Isayama was read aloud at the event, where the mangaka acknowledged that it had been a long time since the release of the first season, but hoped that the fans still looked forward to it. A key visual featuring Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and the Colossal and Armored Titans was shown to attendees. It was also revealed that Masashi Koizuka will be the new director, with first season's director Tetsuro Araki serving now as chief director. Finally, an official website for the season was unveiled."
