There is much speculation about whenChainsaw Man’ssecond season will release, especially since the first season ended over two years ago in December 2022. To complicate matters further,Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arcjust received a 2025 release date,pushing back a potential season two of the anime even further.
u/SpyghettiGhetti,aChainsaw Manfan on Reddit, has posted a plausible theory as to when the series' second season will come out. Although no information has been officially announced yet, based onChainsaw Man’spast release patterns,it does seem like season two will not be here until 2028 at the earliest.
Chainsaw Man Season Two May Not Release Until 2028
According to a Fan Theory, the Anime’s Second Season Might Not Debut for Over Three More Years
The clever fan theory takes into account the length of time that elapsed between pastChainsaw Manreleases to predict when season two may be announced officially, and when it will reach streaming services.Chainsaw Man’smanga, written by Tatsuki Fujimoto, ran for two years, from December 2018 to December 2020, in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine.In December 2020, the same month the manga’s run concluded, the anime adaption ofChainsaw Manwas officially announced,and it was revealed that MAPPA would be the studio that would bring the series to life onscreen.
One year and ten months passed between the announcement of the anime and the anime’s release, which occurred in October 2022.Chainsaw Man’supcoming first movie, which finally received an official release date during Anime Japan 2025,will come out in Japan on July 14, 2025.The movie is expected to be released worldwide around December 2025, since it typically takes longer for anime films to be distributed internationally outside of Japan. TheReze Arcmovie was first announced in December 2023, meaning there will be a one-year and nine-month gap between this announcement and the movie’s release in September 2025.
Mappa’s Busy Schedule May Mean a Later Release Date for Chainsaw Man Season 2
Major Projects Like Dorohedoro, Zenshu, Hell’s Paradise, and Jujutsu Kaisen Are Also on the Way Soon
Following this theory aboutChainsaw Man’spast release patterns, it seems likely that an official announcement thatChainsaw Manseason two is on the way will appear sometime in December 2026, a little over a year afterChainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arcwill hit theaters. After the December 2026 announcement, if the studio takes a similar amount of time to adapt the season as it did for past releases, a little under two years,fans can expect to seeChainsaw Manseason two in late December 2028,over three years away, which is quite a substantial wait.
Its Here: Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc Just Dropped Its First Full Trailer And It Is Everything We Wanted
It has been a long time coming, but Chainsaw Man’s first movie just dropped its first update.
There is no guarantee that the new season ofChainsaw Manwill play out according to this schedule, since MAPPA has not confirmed anything related to the franchise other than theReze Arcfilm’s release date as of right now. MAPPA has a number of upcomingreleases slated for 2025 and beyond,includingDorohedoroseason 2,Zenshu,andHell’s Paradiseseason 2.The studio is also working on another major project,Jujutsu Kaisenseason 3, which will likely debut in the next couple of years as well. With such a packed schedule, the wait forChainsaw Manseason 2 might be fairly long, but for a series as amazing asChainsaw Man,it will be worth the wait.
