The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen could be coming to Netflix soon. Recently featured in the Worth the Wait column on the New & Popular page, we now have confirmation that Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will be on Netflix on May 1, 2026.
Jujutsu Kaisen is a Japanese anime series and adaptation of the manga of the same name by author Gege Akutami. By December 2025, it was announced that the manga had sold over 150 million copies, up from 80 million by July 2023. The first season was first added to Netflix US back in May 2024.

Outside of Asia, Crunchyroll holds the worldwide license to stream the latest episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen. As with many licensed anime titles, Netflix has to wait a period after the anime streams on Crunchyroll before it can license it for the Netflix library.

“Twelve years after the Hidden Inventory Arc, the students of Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School have even more responsibility thrust upon them as they must contend with the ever-rising number of high-level curses. These high-level curses are more self-aware, and unite for a common goal in eradicating the humans, and creating a world of cursed energy users. In order to complete their goal, the curses must remove Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer. They begin their plan with an orchestrated attack on Shibuya Station, where the sorcerers spring into action to defend the innocents.”
