New Characters and Curses Abound
Crunchyroll has confirmed Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will be hitting screens soon. During the Jujutsu Kaisen 5th anniversary livestream, the streaming service showcased a new trailer and confirmed a January 2026 release date.
An Anticipated Meeting
The Crunchyroll anime Award-winning series will stream exclusively on Crunchyroll worldwide, except in Asia. The season is officially called “Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game” and will adapt “The Culling Game” arc of the manga with weekly releases the same day as the Japanese broadcast. The announcement follows a hiatus after the first season in 2020 into 2021 and the ending of Season 2 in 2023. The manga concluded its run in Weekly Shonen Jump, officially ending in September 2024.
The teaser showcases protagonist Yuji Itadori and Yuta Okkotsu, the protagonist from the prequel film Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Along with these staple characters, there are appearances by new and old faces such as Naoya Zen’in, Choso, Megumi Fushiguro, Yuki Tsukumo, and Maki Zen’in. Season 3 follows directly from the aftermath of the second season.
Shonen Jump Superstars
MAPPA is returning as the animation studio for the season, with Shoto Goshozono directing and Hiroshi Seko handling series composition and script writing. Yosuke Yajima and Hiromi Niwa will provide character designs. The Japanese voice cast also returns to reprise their roles, with Junya Enoki as Yuji, Yuma Uchida as Megumi Fushiguro, Daisuke Namikawa as Choso, and Megumi Ogata as Yuta Okkotsu, respectively.
Jujutsu Kaisen won Anime Of The Year at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards for both the first season in 2021 and the second season in 2024. The prequel film Jujutsu Kaisen 0 also won Best Anime Film at the 2023 awards, grossing approximately $180 million at the global box office. The Jujutsu Kaisen manga, created by Gege Akutami, is published by Viz Media in the United States, with Toho Animation producing the anime.
