MAPPA have confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is confirmed, and that work is already underway on it.
When it comes to Jujutsu Kaisen, it’s easy to understand why it’s one of Crunchyroll’s most popular supernatural anime in recent years. Season 1 captivated fans with its dynamic animation, and the subsequent movie capitalized on its momentum, increasing the demand for a second season. Now, with the highly anticipated Shibuya Incident quickly coming to a close, the masses are eager to hear about what’s coming next.

Jujutsu Kaisen Renewed for Season 3
While a third season of Jujutsu Kaisen was teased in the credits of the Season 2 finale, MAPPA confirmed it via a video shared on the series’ official website. There will still be more news to come about the season, including its director and potential release date, but this will happen later.
What will Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 be about?
The Season 3 announcement came with confirmation that Season 3 would adapt the “Culling Game” arc of Gege Akutami’s original manga.
This story finds the gang facing off against the rogue Jujutsu sorcerer Kenjaku.
How has Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 performed?
With an 8.90 rating on My Anime List, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is not only the highest-rated installment of the series thus far, but it’s also one of the highest-rated anime of both the Summer and Fall seasons. This comes as a surprise to no one, especially not manga readers, who have been awaiting the adaption of Gojo’s Past Arc and The Shibuya Incident Arc since they first premiered in print. While the prequel episodes set the bar high, the second half of the season has exceeded expectations, captivating fans from week to week with exciting plot lines and animation.
With so much hype surrounding this series, its chances of being renewed seem almost inevitable.
Will there be another Jujutsu Kaisen movie?
A recent trend in anime, made especially popular by series like Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen, has also been to announce a movie between seasons. With the previous success of Jujutsu Kaisen: 0, there is always a chance that this anime could announce a film over the next season, like Haikyu!!, or a movie to accompany a new season like Spy x Family. These days, a movie can be just as big as the next season, if not bigger, depending on the franchise.
Though many series will end the Fall anime season with no clear idea whether or not they are returning, Jujutsu Kaisen probably will not be one of them. Chances are the anime will be renewed for a third season, and likely sooner rather than later.
