Season 1 has officially wrapped up, finishing with a particularly ghostly cliffhanger ending that sets up season 2.

Thankfully, the show was renewed for season 2 on the same day as the season 1 finale aired, with fans not having to wait too long at all for the next instalment.

Adapted from the popular manga series by Yukinobu Tatsu, Dan Da Dan follows the adventures of two high school teens who bond over their shared interest in paranormal phenomena.

Season 1 of the anime has already included storylines about UFOs, curses and demonic possession, gaining an international audience by screening on Netflix and Crunchyroll.

Dan Da Dan season 2 release date speculation

Dan Da Dan season 2 has been confirmed for a July 2025 release date window.

While we don't have a specific release date just yet within that window, we're sure it won't be too long until we find out.

The show was renewed on the same day as the season 1 finale, meaning fans avoided any uncertainty around its future.

What will the plot of Dan Da Dan season 2 be?

As readers of Yukinobu Tatsu's manga already know, this is just the beginning of the Cursed House arc, which promises to be the most intense chapter of the story yet.

Without spoiling too much, just know that the snake-like deity Jiji mentioned, the Tsuchinoko, goes on to play a big role in the village's future as well as its past, one where human sacrifices send our heroes down a terrifying path.

A new visual has given us a clue about what season 2 will entail – the presence of Evil Eye, which appears to land on Jiji.

While it doesn't give too much away, it confirms the return of Momo, Okarun, Jiji and Turbo Granny.

How many episodes will there be in Dan Da Dan season 2?

We'd expect there to be 12 episodes in Dan Da Dan season 2, following the release of a 12-part season 1.

Is there a trailer for Dan Da Dan season 2?

There's no full length trailer at the moment, but you can check out the season 2 announcement video below.

What is Dan Da Dan about?

The official synopsis of Dan Da Dan is: "When high-schooler Momo, from a family of spirit mediums, first meets her classmate Okarun, an occult geek, they argue – Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts.

"When it turns out both phenomena are real, Momo awakens a hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse."
