Jump Festa 2025 has come and gone, yet we still don’t have an official release date for Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. What we do know is that the upcoming season will cover the Culling Game arc from the manga. , After the intense events of the Shibuya Incident, fans can expect even more high-stakes battles and chaos in this next installment of the shonen anime. Whether you're new to the series or a longtime fan, we've gathered all the key details and confirmed updates regarding Jujutsu Kaisen season 3—one of the most anticipated anime series—along with news of an upcoming compilation film.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Release Date: What We Know So Far
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 was officially announced following the conclusion of season 2, which adapted the Shibuya Incident arc and aired between July and December 2023. Given the scale of the upcoming Culling Game storyline, fans can expect a season of similar length, along with a wait time comparable to the two-year gap between the first and second seasons. The initial teaser showcases early concept sketches, but no official release window has been revealed. Unfortunately, this suggests that the new season is still in early development. The earliest possible premiere could be in fall 2025, though the upcoming Hidden Inventory/Premature Death compilation movie—slated for a May 2025 theatrical release—might push things back even further. Considering that MAPPA Studios is currently focused on producing the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc film, a 2026 release for Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 seems increasingly likely. That gives plenty of time for a rewatch! If you want to revisit the series.
