Hell’s Paradise Season 2 Gets the Update Fans Have Been Waiting For

While MAPPA focuses on its major franchises like Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, Hell’s Paradise fans have been left on the sidelines, desperately awaiting the anime’s second season. In January of this year, the second season received its biggest update so far, when the first trailer for Hell’s Paradise Season 2 unveiled the return of Gabimaru and Sagiri Yamada on the treacherous island. However, since the trailer, news has gone radio silent once again. However, the manga’s author, Yuji Kaku, has teased that big things are on the way.

Hell’s Paradise: Jogukuraku was first serialized in Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ in 2018 and came to a close in January 2021. MAPPA’s anime adaptation debuted in 2023, with the first season running for a total of 12 episodes. The anime was a major success, garnering great reviews and strong online reactions from fans. However, with MAPPA also responsible for some of the biggest IPs in anime, Hell’s Paradise Season 2 got shoved aside while the studio worked on the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc and Jujutsu Kaisen: Culling Game Arc movies. Thankfully, Season 2 of Hell’s Paradise is slowly approaching, and Yuji Kaku’s update has fans even more excited.
