It might be an understatement to say that this year has been a success for anime enthusiasts, as there has been no shortage of quality anime in recent years. When one season of a popular show comes to an end, another one quickly takes its place.As expected, Hell’s Paradise: Season 1 was highly regarded and quickly became one of the most popular new anime of 2023.
Season 2 of Hell’s Paradise is currently under production. A promotional teaser confirming Season 2 was on the way aired unexpectedly right after the Season 1 finale. Since this news is so recent, we don’t have many specifics on Gabimaru’s ongoing search for the Elixir of Life. In any case, here’s what you need to know about the upcoming season if you’re a fan.
Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku Season 2 Renewal Status
A second season has not yet been announced by either the show’s official website or MAPPA, the production company. Many expected an announcement to be made at May’s MAPPA Stage 2023 event, but nothing of the kind transpired. However, considering the show’s massive success, a second season of Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku is probably already in the works. Additionally, there is a wealth of untapped potential in the manga that might be adapted into new episodes. Perhaps after the showing of the thirteenth episode, an official statement will be made.
Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku Season 2 Release Date
There is currently no set date for the release of Season 2 of Hell’s Paradise. The second season’s release date was not specified in the announcement teaser, although it will likely premiere in late 2024 or early 2025 given the length of the average anime production cycle. We’d love to have it by Summer 2023, but Studio MAPPA is already swamped with Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen and a few other things, so that’s not going to happen. The reality, though, is that Hell’s Paradise Season 2 could possibly make the cut by Fall 2024.
