Fans of Chainsaw Man are eagerly waiting for news regarding the release of the anime’s second season, especially considering that the first season wrapped up in December 2022. Compounding the anticipation, the recently announced Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is scheduled to premiere in 2025, which may delay the arrival of season two even further.
According to a Reddit user known as u/SpyghettiGhetti, a compelling theory suggests that the second season might not make its debut until as late as 2028. Although no official announcements have been made, the analysis draws on prior release patterns of the series, indicating a possibly extended wait for viewers.
Predictions About Chainsaw Man Season Two
Fan Theory Points to Another Lengthy Wait
This theory is built upon the timeline of past releases, with the initial anime adaptation of Chainsaw Man being officially announced in December 2020, coinciding with the conclusion of the manga. The premiere followed nearly two years later in October 2022. The forthcoming film, announced during Anime Japan 2025, is set for release in Japan on September 19, 2025, with an international release expected around December 2025.
MAPPA’s Busy Production Schedule and Its Implications for Season 2
Multiple Major Projects in Development Affecting Scheduling
Based on the aforementioned timeline, it’s plausible to predict that an official announcement for Chainsaw Man season two could occur in December 2026, following the film’s release. Assuming the adaptation process mirrors prior timelines, fans might expect the new season’s arrival by late December 2028—more than three years from now.
It’s essential to note that these timelines are speculative. Currently, MAPPA has not confirmed any details regarding the new season, aside from the Reze Arc film release. With several high-profile projects on its agenda, including Dorohedoro season two, Zenshu, and Hell’s Paradise season two, along with Jujutsu Kaisen season three, the timeline for Chainsaw Man’s season two could stretch significantly. Nevertheless, the wait for a series as captivating as Chainsaw Man may very well prove worthwhile.
