Premiering in 2020, the dark fantasy anime series Jujutsu Kaisen adapts a bestselling manga by artist and writer Gege Akutami. With season 2 concluding in 2023, fans are understandably curious about when the third season might arrive.
Given the two-year gap between the season 1 finale and the beginning of season 2, people may be expecting a new season to debut sometime in 2025. But will that actually happen?
The good news is, the anime show's creative team have plenty of material to work with. The original manga ran for 30 volumes between 2018 and 2024, and the anime adaptation's first two seasons only covered part of the available story.

Will there be a Jujutsu Kaisen season 3?
Yes! Following the conclusion of season 2 in December 2023, the anime show's website announced plans to continue the series, adaptation the original manga's Culling Game arc.
It's no surprise that Jujutsu Kaisen's production company MAPPA made this announcement so quickly, because this is a hugely popular series with a guaranteed audience for future seasons.
The big question now is when Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 will actually arrive. It's also possible that MAPPA will release some kind of spin-off movie beforehand.
A prequel film titled Jujutsu Kaisen 0 already came out in 2021, between seasons 1 and 2, and there are plans for a compilation movie to premiere in May 2025 in Japan, covering a story arc from season 2.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 release date speculation
Fans previously hoped that Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 would arrive in early 2025. But with no announcements or trailers as of January 2025, that probably isn't happening.
However a late 2025 release date is still possible for Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. If we don't hear an announcement by this summer, fans will have to accept that the season will premiere in 2026 or later.
The upcoming compilation movie is a positive sign, because it may double as a promotional tool for season 3, reminding fans why they loved the first two seasons. Its release could include a season 3 trailer or release announcement.
