'Dorohedoro' Fans, It's Your Time: Season 2 Is Finally Closer Than You Think

For fans of Dorohedoro, which had only one season released in 2020, the long wait is finally over.

The creators have announced the official release date for the highly anticipated second season, which will continue one of the most insane, stylistically unique, and blood-curdling stories in modern animation.

'Dorohedoro' Season 2 Finally Has an Official Release Date

The second season of Dorohedoro is scheduled to premiere on April 1, 2026. New episodes will be released weekly on Wednesdays.

The exact number of episodes in the new season has not been revealed.

Following the resounding success of the first season, praised by fans and critics alike for its adherence to the manga's spirit and its bold visual aesthetic, the six-year wait has been excruciating.

What Is 'Dorohedoro' About?

The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic slum called the Hole, which is populated by ordinary people. Sorcerers from a parallel dimension regularly raid this world and use its inhabitants as guinea pigs to perfect their spells.

The main character, Caiman, is a man with a reptile head and amnesia. Witchcraft erased his memory and original appearance and that's why he and his friend Nikaido hunt sorcerers.

Caiman's goal is to find and destroy the sorcerer who cursed him and uncover the mystery of the second being living inside him.

Here's Why You Should Start Watching 'Dorohedoro' Before the Second Season Is Released

If you haven't experienced this universe yet, now is the perfect time to catch up. Dorohedoro is a rare blend of dark humor, brutal action, and unexpected humanity.

Under the direction of Yuichiro Hayashi, Studio MAPPA has created an adaptation that lovingly and respectfully brings the manga's gritty, dirty visual style to the screen, rather than simply following it blindly.

The characters have become even more expressive and charismatic, and the level of violence and surrealism remains true to the original. This anime is not for the faint of heart but for those who appreciate original vision.
