This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.

Few anime create as much excitement as *Jujutsu Kaisen*. Based on Gege Akutami’s manga, the series has quickly become one of the most popular anime worldwide.

The anime was officially renewed after its second season ended, but it took fans a long time to find out when the third season would premiere.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Release Date Has Been Confirmed

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Will Release In 2026

  • Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will air in January 2026
  • JJK could be supplanted by Daemons of the Shadow Realm

The third season of Jujutsu Kaisen is scheduled to premiere in January 2026, giving fans just a little longer to wait for the return of Itadori Yuji and his friends. Before the new season arrives, a special movie will be released featuring content from season two and the beginning of season three. This movie will be available both in Japan and to viewers around the world, ensuring everyone can enjoy it.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will adapt the action-packed Culling Game storyline. Many fans who have read the manga actually prefer it to the popular Shibuya Incident arc, though opinions vary. Regardless, the Culling Game promises to be a thrilling season.

When the release date for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 was announced, many fans thought it would be the biggest anime of 2026, even surpassing highly anticipated shows like Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2, Hell’s Paradise Season 2, and Fire Force’s final season. But a new anime has appeared that might end up being even more popular than all of them.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood’s Creator Is Releasing A New Anime In 2026

Daemons Of The Shadow Realm Will Release In 2026

Hiromu Arakawa is famous for creating the Fullmetal Alchemist series, which was then adapted into a popular anime. Many fans consider Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood to be one of the best anime ever made, thanks to its captivating story and memorable characters. The anime is well-paced and beautifully animated by the studio Madhouse, making it a consistently engaging experience.

Hiromu Arakawa, the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist, also wrote the manga *Daemons of the Shadow Realm*. Because it’s such a well-regarded series, fans have long anticipated an anime adaptation. It’s now been confirmed that the *Daemons of the Shadow Realm* anime will premiere in 2026, and Studio Bones – known for their work on the popular *My Hero Academia: Vigilantes* – will be handling the animation.

Hiromu Arakawa is well-known for creating Fullmetal Alchemist, and her new manga, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, might become just as popular. Currently, it has a rating of 7.46 on MyAnimeList, which isn’t as high as Fullmetal Alchemist’s score. However, the anime adaptation could be even better! Anime versions often surpass their manga source material in popularity, and Daemons of the Shadow Realm is in good hands with the talented studio Bones, who are known for high-quality work.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Will Still Generate A Lot Of Hype

Even with lots of popular anime airing right now, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is sure to attract a huge global audience. This season will center around Yuji Itadori and his struggle to survive assassination attempts.

The upcoming season will focus on Yuta Okkotsu, a powerful character who played a key role in the prequel movie, *Jujutsu Kaisen 0*, but hasn’t been featured much since. With the new season adapting the Culling Game arc, viewers can anticipate exciting and intense battles between jujutsu sorcerers and Curses.
