Chainsaw Man was one of the most popular anime series of 2022. After the first season of the manga adaptation, fans are eagerly awaiting more. But when will season 2 arrive?
The announcement of Chainsaw Man already caused a big buzz. It’s no surprise, as the original manga quickly became a cult hit. Studio MAPPA faithfully adapted the provocative, sometimes disturbing, and above all, brutal story into an anime. After a successful premiere, many fans are now wondering when the series will return with season 2.
Chainsaw Man: What We Know About Season 2
The anime adaptation of Chainsaw Man was a huge success. On Rotten Tomatoes, the series scored almost 100% from critics, and the audience gave it an impressive 86%. With such praise, it became clear early on that the series would continue.
Currently, a new movie is in the works, but season 2 has not yet been officially confirmed. This makes it hard to predict an exact release date. We estimate that Chainsaw Man season 2 won’t arrive before mid-2025, but this is just speculation. We’ll update this article as soon as relevant news is announced.
Chainsaw Man Anime Continues with a Movie
At Jump Festa 2024, it was revealed that Chainsaw Man would continue with a movie. The film is titled Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc and, like the series, will be produced by Studio MAPPA. The title already hints that the movie will adapt the exciting “Reze” arc from the manga.
This storyline could then lead into season 2. The first season covered a total of 38 chapters of the manga. It’s likely that the second season will pick up after the movie and adapt the “International Assassins” and “Gun Devil” arcs to conclude the first major saga of Chainsaw Man.
Impatient fans can read the manga in the meantime. The anime ends with chapter 38, so if you want to find out what happens next in Denji’s story, you’ll need to grab the fifth volume of the manga.
