MAPPA used its 15th Anniversary Lineup Reveal stream to drop the first teaser for Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 2 — the back half of the arc that picks up after Part 1. No premiere date yet, but the project is officially in production with the season's assistant director Takeru Satō stepping up.
Quick answer
According to SenpaiRanks, Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 2 is the continuation of MAPPA's adaptation of the Culling Game arc, revealed via a teaser at the studio's June 2026 15th-anniversary livestream. It's directed by Takeru Satō, animated by MAPPA, and — following the franchise's pattern — will stream on Crunchyroll worldwide outside Asia. No release window is confirmed yet. For context on how strong this run is: SenpaiRanks tracks the show's second season at an 8.5 adjusted score, near the top of the franchise's dual-axis board.
The drop
The teaser ran during MAPPA's anniversary showcase rather than as a standalone trailer, so what's out is short on plot and long on mood. Here's the Culling Game arc trailer the studio has been building on:
If you're catching up, the Culling Game is the tournament-style death match that the manga's final third hangs on — Part 1 set the board, Part 2 is where the payoffs land.
Where it picks up
This isn't a fresh season so much as the second half of one continuous arc. You'll want the Culling Game Part 1 watched before this airs. The franchise's earlier seasons remain the on-ramp — SenpaiRanks keeps the full Jujutsu Kaisen catalog ranked on both the Consensus and Quality axes, so you can see which entries hold up versus which were just broadly liked: Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd Season.
When you can watch it
No date. MAPPA confirmed production and showed footage, which usually means a window is months out, not weeks. Expect Crunchyroll to carry the worldwide simulcast (excluding Asia) the way it has for every prior cour. We'll update the what to watch this season hub the moment a date lands.
How it ranks
Per SenpaiRanks's board, Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the highest-rated action franchises we track — the kind of dual-axis profile (broadly liked and holds up on rewatch) that a single MAL number can't separate. Once Part 2 airs, you'll be able to rate it yourself and see where your take lands against the crowd on the show's ranking page. If you came here from a One Piece or Tokyo Revengers binge, the same dual-axis read covers those: One Piece Elbaf arc, Tokyo Revengers Three Titans arc.
