It's a classic tale: boy swallows a demon's finger, boy gets cursed, boy joins demon-hunting school to find the demon's other body parts and exorcise said curse.

Same old, same old, except Jujutsu Kaisen is anything but boring or dull. When season 1 debuted in 2020, it quickly rose up the ranks to become one of anime's most popular new shows in a very long time.

Anticipation is high for Yuji Itadori's sophomore year, so join us as we head back to school and break down everything we know so far about Jujutsu Kaisen season 2.

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 release date

Jujutsu Kaisen will finally return to our screens as part of the summer season on July 6th 2023.

The second series was confirmed by the show’s official social media accounts back in March 2023, alongside the release of the first visual posters and exclusive character visuals.

How many episodes will Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 have?

Like the first season, these new episodes will arrive in two batches, which means we're most likely going to have 24 episodes in total this time around again as well.

The two cours (as they’re also known) will hopefully air back to back, meaning fans can expect new Yuji and Gojo content well into 2024.

What is the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2?

Though no official synopsis has been released yet, the show’s second season is likely to pick up where season 1 left off.

Now that the Death Painting arc is complete, it has been confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will adapt Gojo’s past arc alongside the Shibuya Incident arc.

MAPPA’s CEO Manabu Otsuka has already stated that season 2 is guaranteed to be completely different during an interview with Crunchyroll.

"The first season of the television series and the movie have been very, very successful. We would like to leverage that success for season 2, but we are not going to be doing the same thing and repeat ourselves.

“To the fans of the series, I would like to show even greater success and bigger growth in season 2."

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 cast: who could return?

Assuming that everything goes according to plan, here are all of the Japanese and English voice actors who will most likely return for Jujutsu Kaisen season 2:

• Yuji Itadori – Junya Enoki (Japanese); Adam McArthur (English)
• Megumi Fushiguro – Yuma Uchida (Japanese); Robbie Daymond (English)
• Nobara Kugisaki – Asami Seto (Japanese); Anne Yatco (English)
• Maki Zen'in – Mikako Komatsu (Japanese); Allegra Clark (English)
• Toge Inumaki – Kōki Uchiyama (Japanese); Xander Mobus (English)
• Panda – Tomokazu Seki (Japanese); Matthew David Rudd (English)
• Satoru Gojo – Yūichi Nakamura (Japanese); Kaiji Tang (English)
• Kiyotaka Ijichi – Mitsuo Iwata (Japanese); Chris Tergliafera (English)
• Shoko Ieiri – Aya Endō (Japanese); Ryan Bartley (English)

And then there's Yuta Okkotsu, the main character who stars in Jujutsu Kaisen 0.

If we're going by the manga, it seems safe to assume that Kayleigh McKee will reprise this role in season 2 at some stage, and a post-credits scene in the prequel movie pretty much confirms that to be the case as well.

Why is Jujutsu Kaisen so popular?

Since bursting onto screens in 2020, it’s no surprise that Jujutsu Kaisen is now one of the most popular anime shows in recent years.

The fact that the show revolves around a unique power system makes it a refreshing watch, using cursed energy that originates from any negative emotions.

Fans have also stated that the action in Jujutsu Kaisen always feels fresh, with plenty of world-building and plot points to enjoy.

Where to watch Jujutsu Kaisen in the UK

In the UK, you can watch season 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen on Crunchyroll, alongside the show’s feature film, Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
