Following Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man, Hell’s Paradise was a breakout hit for MAPPA Studio. The dark fantasy story and the hero Gabimaru cemented their positions in the shonen fans’ hearts. However, Hell’s Paradise season 2 has been in production for as long as the studio was busy with other main projects. Now, Gabimaru is all set to grace the digital screens in Hell’s Paradise, scheduled for a Winter 2026 release. Before we return to the Shinsenkyo Island in search of the elixir of life, discover everything you need to know about Hell’s Paradise season 2, such as its release date, plot, cast, etc., here in our guide.
When Is Hell’s Paradise Season 2 Coming Out?
Although Hell’s Paradise season 2 was announced long ago, its release date was only recently shared by the production staff. Hell’s Paradise Season 2 is scheduled for broadcast on January 11, 2026. So, prepare for a great season where MAPPA’s JJK Season 3 and Hell’s Paradise Season 2 will be the highlights of the anime Winter 2026 season.
Is There a Trailer for Hell’s Paradise Season 2?
With the release date locked, the production staff of Hell’s Paradise attended the Jump Festa 2026 event to unveil a new trailer for Hells’ Paradise Season 2 for the fans. This action-packed trailer perfectly gives a glimpse of the new grave dangers (new Lord Tensen members) that Gabimaru needs to overcome in order to escape the paradise island:
What Is the Story of Hell’s Paradise Season 2?
The first season of Hell’s Paradise ended midway through the Lord Tensen arc. The Immortal Lord Tensen are an insurmountable threat to both the Yamada executioners and all the criminals. This will eventually force the Yamada Asaemon and the criminals to team up to take down the seven rulers.
The Yamada Asaemon executioners and their criminal charges have forged an uneasy alliance, banding together to find a way off the island. Lurking in the shadows are the supernatural forces of Lord Tensen and a new enemy—another wave of samurai and ninja sent to the island by the shogun with orders to leave no one alive!
However, the Shogun, who is frustrated with the first group, sends another group of executioners and criminals to Paradise Island to retrieve the elixir of life at all costs. So, gear up to meet new characters. Even though the characters are allied, it isn’t going to be easy to go against Lord Tensen.
How Many Episodes Will Hell’s Paradise Season 2 Have?
The first season of Hell’s Paradise featured 13 episodes and adapted around 45 chapters in total. In line with its debut season, Hell’s Paradise Season 2 is also expected to be listed for 13 episodes. Hell’s Paradise is a relatively short manga with only 127 chapters.
If MAPPA wanted to wrap up the series, they would have announced the second season as the final season of the series. So, we expect Hell’s Paradise to cover only the remaining chapters of Lord Tensen’s arc and half of the Horai arc for season 2.
Cast and Characters of Hell’s Paradise Season 2
A significant number of characters died in the debut season of Hell’s Paradise. However, a new group of Yamada Asaemon is joining the party at Paradise Island. The complete cast of voice actors has been revealed ahead of the premiere. So, here are all the characters you can look forward to meeting in Hell’s Paradise season 2.
