During the show’s official stage show at Jump Festa this weekend, it was revealed that Hell’s Paradise is set for a second season, premiering in January 2026 in Japan and streaming worldwide on Crunchyroll following its debut. A teaser trailer for Season 2 released for the event depicts Sagiri and her friends as they enter the mysterious depths of Shinsenkyo, and introduces new executioners like Yamada Asaemon Shugen.
“Thank you to those who watched the first season of Hell’s Paradise and waiting for the second season!” said director Kaori Makita. “I am happy to be able to work on the story of Gabimaru and his friends again. In the first season, each of the characters survived while facing troubles. How will we depict the changes in their hearts this time? How should we depict that scene in the original manga? I am back the days to think about Gabimaru and his friends every day. The second season of Hell’s Paradise is being produced in a very good atmosphere with a lot of staff members who are full of love for the series. We hope you are looking forward to it.”
Based on the manga by Yuji Kaku, the Hell’s Paradise anime is produced by MAPPA, with series composition by Akira Kindaichi, character design by Akitsugu Hisagi and music by Yoshiaki Dewa.
Synopsis: Gabimaru reigns as the strongest and most ruthless assassin in his village. But now finds himself on death row — with only one way out: retrieve the Elixir of Life from a sinister island.
