Alright, Chainsaw Man fans, let’s talk about the big question on everyone’s mind: are we getting a Season 2 of this wild, bloody, and totally awesome anime? Since the first season dropped in 2022 and blew us all away, we’ve been dying to know what’s next for Denji and his devil-hunting crew. So, let’s break down what’s going on, what we’ve heard, and why we’re still hopeful.
The Current Status of Chainsaw Man Season 2
As of right now—July 2025—MAPPA, the studio that brought us that jaw-dropping first season, hasn’t officially said, “Yup, Season 2 is coming!” But don’t lose hope just yet. Chainsaw Man was a massive hit, and the manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto is still a fan favorite, with plenty of story left to tell. Word on the street (and by street, I mean X posts and anime forums) is that MAPPA’s got a lot on their plate with stuff like Jujutsu Kaisen. That might be slowing things down, but a second season feels like a “when,” not an “if.”
What About the Movie?
Before we get Season 2, we’re getting a treat: Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc. Yup, MAPPA’s working on a film that’ll cover the Bomb Girl arc, introducing the awesome and mysterious Reze. It’s slated for 2026, and it’s basically a bridge between Season 1 and whatever comes next. The fact that MAPPA’s pouring resources into this movie is a pretty strong hint they’re not done with Chainsaw Man. So, while we wait for Season 2 news, we’ve got Reze to keep us hyped.
What Could Season 2 Look Like?
If we do get Season 2 (fingers crossed), it’ll likely pick up after the Reze Arc and dive into something like the International Assassins arc. Here’s what to expect:
New Faces: Reze’s just the start—there are some wild new characters in the manga.
Crazy Fights: The devils get even weirder, and MAPPA’s animation would make those battles pop.
Denji’s Journey: Our boy’s got dreams, heartbreak, and a whole lot of growing up to do.
