The highly anticipated second season of the anime Dorohedoro has been delayed and will not premiere in 2025 as previously announced. According to Anime News Network, fans can now expect the new season to arrive in spring 2026 — marking six years since the first season’s debut.
Dorohedoro first aired in January 2020 with a 12-episode run, followed by an OVA consisting of six short special episodes. The anime quickly developed a reputation for its gritty atmosphere, surreal world-building, and dark sense of humor, earning a dedicated fanbase worldwide.
The upcoming season will once again be produced by the acclaimed animation studio MAPPA, known for its work on major titles like Attack on Titan: The Final Season, Chainsaw Man, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Director Yuichiro Hayashi will also return to helm the project, ensuring continuity in the show’s visual and narrative style. Fans of MAPPA’s distinctive visuals might also enjoy exploring the studio’s merchandise, such as these high-quality Jujutsu Kaisen mouse pads that highlight the same bold artistic energy seen across their productions.
