Dorohedoro Season 2 Finally Has a Release Date
After almost a year without any more updates, Dorohedoro Season 2 finally has a release schedule.
On October 10, 2025, we received our first proper key visual for Dorohedoro Season 2, featuring Caiman with masks from different sorcerers such as Turkey, Noi, Shu, Ebisu and En, and it is confirmed that we will see the anime back on Spring 2026.
Dorohedoro Season 2 was officially announced on January 9, 2024 for the 4th anniversary of the anime and on January 12, 2025, around the anime’s 5th anniversary, fans were originally promised a 2025 release.
Now there is an exact timeframe and it has changed to Spring of 2026 instead of this year.
Yuichiro Hayashi returns to direct the project after 6 years, especially since he has spent over 4 years into Attack on Titan: The Final Season alongside fellow Dorohedoro staff members Tomohiro Kishi (character designer for both series) and Manabu Akita.
About Dorohedoro
Dorohedoro was a manga written and illustrated by Q Hayashida from November 30, 2000 to September 12, 2018 across three Shogakukan magazines, Monthly Ikki, Hibana, and Monthly Shōnen Sunday.
The series reached 23 volumes.
The manga would be adapted into an anime produced by MAPPA (Attack on Titan: The Final Season, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man) directed by Yuichiro Hayashi (Garo: The Vanishing, Attack on Titan: The Final Season) on January 12, 2025 to March 29, 2020.
Season 1 was comprised of 12 episodes and six 5-minute-long original video animation (OVA) episodes bundled with the series’ second Blu-ray release on June 17, 2020.
The series was notable for having 6 ending songs from the same band, ((K)now Name), which also handled the soundtrack.
Dorohedoro is set in a bleak world called the Hole, where humans are targeted by Sorcerers for target practice and one of these humans, Caiman, is cursed for having a giant lizard head. Together with his friend, a gyoza shop owner named Nikaido, Caiman hunts down the sorcerers responsible for his curse.
