With the premiere of Season 2, fans were treated to exceptional storytelling and direction that even surpassed the first season’s achievements.

Latest Updates are Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
What We Know So Far About Season 3
Currently, the most significant update regarding Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is the confirmation of its production. Following the Season 2 finale, the adaptation of the Culling Game arc was announced, and recent insights from a special panel at Jump Festa 2025 provided glimpses into the series’ future. Although no release date has been set, promotional material for the Culling Game arc has been revealed, including a 16-page epilogue featuring characters such as Nobara, Uraume, Panda, and Ozawa found in the final volume of the manga.
As production progresses, more details are likely to emerge regarding its release. To help ease the wait for fans, the franchise is also planning a new Jujutsu Kaisen movie, which will be a compilation of the thrilling Hidden Inventory Arc, showcasing the spectacular battles between young Gojo and Geto against Toji on theaters.
At Jump Festa 2025, a teaser visual for the upcoming compilation film was presented, with a release date set for May 30, 2025, in Japan. Depending on its success, it may even lead to an international release similar to that of the film Attack on Titan: The Last Attack, and could follow a strategy akin to Demon Slayer‘s recent theatrical events, which concluded with new content.
Expected Release Timeline for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
Anticipated Release Window
As of now, there is no confirmed release date for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, and that situation is unlikely to change soon, especially given the extensive projects currently in development at Studio MAPPA. The studio is simultaneously working on several anime, including Lazarus, the original series Zenshu, the second season of Hell’s Paradise, and a feature film titled Rose of Versailles.
The team dedicated to Jujutsu Kaisen is also juggling multiple film projects, including the highly awaited adaptation of Chainsaw Man’s Reze arc and the Hidden Inventory movie. Due to this packed schedule, it’s reasonable to assume that Season 3 might not be the studio’s immediate priority.
Considering the typical production timeline, which saw a two-year gap between the first and second seasons, fans can tentatively expect Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 to debut in either late 2025 or early 2026. Though this extended wait is substantial, the eventual quality of the new season is likely to justify the anticipation.
Production Team for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
Possible Production Leadership
Confirmation is in place for another season produced by Studio MAPPA, despite some earlier critiques regarding Season 2. However, the involvement of key personnel such as Shota Goshozono (directorial role), Sayaka Koiso (character design), and Yoshimasa Terui (composition) remains uncertain due to previous staffing changes.
Storyline Insights for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
Exploring the Culling Games Arc
The upcoming season will adapt the Culling Game arc, presenting the aftermath of the Shibuya Incident. In this phase, Kenjaku, the sorcerer who assumed Geto’s form, orchestrates a deadly contest among sorcerers nationwide, aiming to elevate Japan’s cursed energy to unprecedented levels, ultimately creating a formidable cursed spirit. This storyline introduces a plethora of new characters and plot developments that enhance the concluding chapters of the series, and witnessing these events animated is sure to captivate fans.
Regarding the extent of the arc to be adapted, previous seasons have each covered around eight to nine manga volumes. With Season 2 concluding with volume #16, it is expected that Season 3 will encompass up to volume #25, setting up an exciting continuation with the anticipated return of Satoru Gojo. This pacing would not only align with the established patterns but also provide a tantalizing cliffhanger to set the stage for a probable fourth season.

Initial Teaser Trailer for Season 3

Teaser Poster for Season 3
Insights from the Teaser Poster
The much-anticipated Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 has unveiled an eye-catching poster centered on Yuji Itadori, capturing his troubled expression alongside the tagline, “I can’t be with you guys anymore.”This alludes to his struggle with the mental aftermath of the Shibuya Incident and hints at feelings of unworthiness in his role as a sorcerer due to Sukuna’s actions.
This key visual echoes an iconic panel from JJK’s chapter #138, marking the first adaptation in the upcoming season. Furthermore, the imagery of Yuji’s red hand and obscured pinky finger provides subtle indications of significant events slated to take place in chapter #212—a further affirmation that Season 3 will cover a considerable portion of the Culling Game arc, which spans chapters 159 to 221 of the manga.
Anticipated Cast for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
