It has been announced that the second season of the TV anime "Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku," based on the manga by Yuji Kaku that was serialized on Shueisha's manga app "Shonen Jump + (Plus)," will begin airing in January 2026. A teaser PV featuring new scenes from the second season has been released on YouTube. The video shows Sagiri and his friends heading deep into the mysterious land of the immortals, as well as action scenes, and also shows the new executioners, including Yamada Asaemon Shugen, landing on the island.
The announcement was made at Jump Festa 2025, which is being held at Makuhari Messe (Mihama-ku, Chiba City). Makoto Koichi, who voices Nurugai, watched the teaser PV on stage and commented, "I'm looking forward to seeing how new characters such as Shugen will appear and what they'll do." Yumiri Hanamori, who voices Yamada Asaemon Sakichi, sent a message to fans saying, "I can't wait for it to finally be released. I want to persevere through this and produce something that shines as a person."
Makita Kaori commented, "Thank you to everyone who watched the first season of Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku and to everyone who is waiting for the second season. I am happy to be involved in the story of Gamimaru and the others again. The characters in the first season each survived despite their own struggles. How should I portray their changes in heart this time?... How should I portray that scene from the original? I am back to thinking about Gamimaru and the others every day. For the second season, we have gathered a lot of staff who are filled with love for Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku, and the production is proceeding in a great atmosphere. I hope you will look forward to it."
It was also announced that Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku's first original app game, Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku Battle, will be released in 2025.
"Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku" was serialized in "Shonen Jump+" from January 2018 to January 2021. Set in the late Edo period, the story follows the strongest ninja, Gamimaru, who was captured after being betrayed by his comrades, as he fights monsters in search of the elixir of immortality in order to be freed and reunite with his beloved wife. The first season of the TV anime aired from April to July 2023.
