‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ Season 3 Sets Premiere Date, Unveils First Teaser
The third season of “Jujutsu Kaisen” will premiere in January 2026, Crunchyroll revealed during a live-streamed fifth anniversary special for the Crunchyroll Anime Award-winning series.
Crunchyroll will stream the new season exclusively worldwide, excluding Asia, with episodes dropping weekly on the same day as their Japanese broadcast. The upcoming season, also referred to as “Jujutsu Kaisen The Culling Game,” will adapt the manga arc of the same name.
The first teaser trailer showcases protagonist Yuji Itadori grappling with conflict and despair after believing he killed numerous people during the “Shibuya Incident.” The preview also features an intense battle between Yuji and Yuta Okkotsu, the main character from the prequel film “Jujutsu Kaisen 0,” along with a heated confrontation between new character Naoya Zen’in and Choso. Brief appearances by Megumi Fushiguro, Yuki Tsukumo and Maki Zen’in round out the teaser.
MAPPA returns as the animation studio, with Shota Goshozono directing and Hiroshi Seko handling series composition and script writing. Yosuke Yajima and Hiromi Niwa will provide character designs.
The Japanese voice cast includes Junya Enoki as Yuji Itadori, Yuma Uchida as Megumi Fushiguro, Daisuke Namikawa as Choso and Megumi Ogata as Yuta Okkotsu.
Based on Gege Akutami’s manga, “Jujutsu Kaisen” has sold over 100 million copies worldwide. The manga concluded its run in Weekly Shonen Jump in September 2024. The first anime season aired from October 2020 to March 2021, followed by a second season covering the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death and Shibuya Incident arcs from July to December 2023.
The series earned Anime of the Year honors at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in both 2021 and 2024. The theatrical film “Jujutsu Kaisen 0” won Best Anime Film at the 2023 Crunchyroll Anime Awards and grossed approximately $180 million at the global box office.
