‘Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku’ Returns in 2026

MAPPA has officially released a new trailer for Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku Season 2, confirming that the fan-favorite anime will make its long-awaited comeback in January 2026. Fans can watch the full teaser now via the official YouTube trailer.

A Deadly Return to Shinsenkyo

The teaser brings audiences back to the treacherous island of Shinsenkyo, where Gabimaru and Yuzuriha continue their perilous journey for the Elixir of Life. Season 2 promises to heighten the tension with new rivalries, shifting alliances, and the series’ signature mix of action and psychological drama.

The Dark Trio of Shōnen

As part of what fans have dubbed the “dark trio of shōnen” — alongside Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man — Hell’s Paradise has cemented itself as one of MAPPA’s most talked-about works. The upcoming season is expected to refine the anime’s visual style even further, expanding on Yūji Kaku’s original manga with polished animation and immersive worldbuilding.

Streaming and Broadcast Plans

While an exact airdate has yet to be revealed, January 2026 is confirmed as the official release window. The anime will broadcast across Japan’s major TV networks, with simultaneous domestic streaming available on Prime Video, Netflix, and Lemino. International viewers will be able to watch exclusively via Crunchyroll.

What to Expect

Season 2 is set to expand the narrative stakes, with more convicts entering the fray and alliances tested under extreme conditions. Fans can expect the same visceral action sequences, layered storytelling, and psychological intensity that made the first season a breakout success.

With its return locked for early 2026, Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated anime premieres of the year.
