Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 release date, trailer and latest news
Here's everything we know about the future of Jujutsu Kaisen!
Based on the bestselling manga series by Gege Akutami, Jujutsu Kaisen is a must-watch for fans of dark fantasy anime. But with season 2 ending in 2023, viewers will be wondering when the next season is due to come out.
Jujutsu Kaisen follows the exploits of a high school student named Yuji Itadori, who lives in a world where magic exists. After swallowing the finger of a dead sorcerer, he gains supernatural powers, leading him to a new life of peril and adventure.
Since the original manga ran for 30 volumes between 2018 and 2024, the anime series has plenty of material left to adapt. But will they actually manage to complete the story? And what can we expect to see in the next season?
Here's everything we know about Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, including news of its release date.
Will there be a Jujutsu Kaisen season 3?
Yes! Season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen was actually confirmed a while ago, close to the end of season 2.
Considering the show's popularity, it's no surprise that Jujutsu Kaisen's production company MAPPA chose to continue the series. However, there was previously some speculation that the story might continue with a movie rather than an entire season of TV.
The franchise has already released one spin-off film, the prequel Jujutsu Kaisen 0, and we can also expect to see a season 2 compilation movie arrive before season 3.
Season 3 will adapt the Culling Game story arc from the manga.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 release date speculation
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is officially set to begin in January 2026.
This is a little later than many fans hoped, but compared to some shows, a two-year wait between seasons really isn't that bad!
According to the release date announcement, new episodes will arrive weekly, airing on Crunchyroll on the same day it premieres in Japan.
We don't have a precise release date yet for the premiere, but we'll be sure to update this page once we learn more.
While fans are waiting for season 3 to arrive in 2026, they can rewatch the first two seasons (plus the prequel movie) on Crunchyroll in the UK. And if you're checking out this franchise for the first time, you can use our arc guide to help you catch up!
Is there a Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 trailer?
Yes! The release date announcement arrived with a trailer for season 3, promising a characteristically dark and intense tone as we enter the Culling Game arc.
Jujutsu Kaisen is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
