Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 to Premiere January 2026

Jujutsu Kaisen will return to television in January 2026, studio and distributors announced during an August 31 livestream marking the anime’s fifth anniversary. The third season, adapting the manga’s Culling Game arc, received its first teaser and a release window on the stream hosted by key cast members, and Crunchyroll confirmed it will stream the new season outside Asia with episodes released weekly alongside their Japanese broadcasts.

The teaser trailer, shown during the livestream and at Anime Expo earlier this year, depicts protagonist Yuji Itadori grappling with guilt after the Shibuya Incident and teases several high-stakes confrontations, including a clash between Yuji and Yuta Okkotsu and a fight between Naoya Zenin and Choso. Brief appearances by Megumi Fushiguro, Yuki Tsukumo and Maki Zenin also appear in the preview. Junya Enoki, the voice of Yuji, told fans at Anime Expo 2025 that he has already begun recording and that the season’s battle scenes are “on a whole different level.”

Production and creative staff were also announced. MAPPA will handle the animation with Shota Goshozono directing and Hiroshi Seko returning for series composition and script writing....
