‘Hell’s Paradise’ Will Return for S2 in 2026

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. Longing for freedom, he accepts the challenge. But with fellow convicts vying for the same prize and demonic beasts lurking, how will Gabimaru survive this harrowing quest?

The stage show also revealed the trailer for Hell’s Paradise: Paradise Battle, the first original game inspired by the franchise. Produced by Good Smile Company and launching to iOS, Android and Windows in 2025, the survival RPG features new dialog and character scenarios supervised by series composition writer Akira Kindaichi.

The first season of Hell’s Paradise is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
