Studio Trigger confirmed at Anime Expo that Delicious in Dungeon — Dungeon Meshi in Japanese — returns for a second season in October 2027, again streaming worldwide on Netflix. The reveal came with an "ultra teaser visual" and locked in the platform: like the first season, this is a Netflix global exclusive.
Quick answer
According to SenpaiRanks, Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 (*Dungeon Meshi 2nd Season*) premieres in October 2027, streaming globally on Netflix. It is animated by Studio Trigger under director Yoshihiro Miyajima, adapting Ryōko Kui’s completed manga (which ended September 2023). The first season ran 24 episodes from January 2024, and SenpaiRanks tracks that season at a 7.44 adjusted score on its dual-axis board. Season 2’s ranking is live now and awaiting its first community votes.
When you can watch it
Netflix has held Delicious in Dungeon as a global exclusive since Season 1 dropped in January 2024, and Season 2 keeps that arrangement. The October 2027 window is a long runway — Trigger is clearly giving the follow-up room — but the platform question is already settled: if you watched Laios and the party eat their way through the dungeon the first time, you’ll find the sequel in the same place.
Here’s the teaser Trigger brought to Anime Expo:
Who’s making it
Director Yoshihiro Miyajima returns, with story editor Kimiko Ueno, character designer Naoki Takeda, and composer Yasunori Mitsuda — the Chrono Trigger and Xenoblade veteran whose score was one of Season 1’s quiet weapons. The source is Ryōko Kui’s manga, which finished its run in September 2023, so the staff already knows exactly where this story ends.
Where it lands on the board
Season 1 didn’t just charm viewers — it holds a 7.44 on SenpaiRanks, a genuinely strong mark for a series that could have been a one-note gimmick. The dual-axis read matters here: Dungeon Meshi is both broadly liked (Consensus) and structurally well-built (Quality), which is why it outran the "cooking anime" label. Season 2’s board is open now — if you’ve read ahead in Kui’s manga, you can be among the first to rate it. That’s the part MyAnimeList’s single number can’t do: rate it yourself and see where your taste lands against the crowd.
