Hell's Paradise is returning with higher stakes and darker twists. After the success of its first season, MAPPA's brutal fantasy anime is set to dive deeper into the horrors of Shinsenkyo.
Hell's Paradise Season 2 promises more danger, stronger enemies, and emotional conflict, with Gabimaru once again fighting for survival and freedom. This time, the focus shifts from simple survival to power struggles, uneasy alliances, and the true secrets of immortality.
Hell's Paradise Season 2 is set to release on January 11, 2026, making it one of the major titles of the Winter 2026 anime season. The announcement has raised excitement, especially with MAPPA also handling other big projects. The anime will follow a weekly episode release format after its premiere.
The anime will stream exclusively on Crunchyroll at 11:45 JST. For viewers in India, episodes will be available by 8:15 PM IST on the release day. There is no official confirmation yet about the release of Season 2 on Netflix or Prime Video.
However, Season 1 is currently available on both platforms in several regions, making it easier for new viewers to catch up before the second season begins. Availability may vary by region, and additional platforms could be announced closer to the release date.
Most major voice actors return, along with new characters joining the story:
MAPPA remains in charge of animation, raising expectations for intense action and fluid visuals.
Hell's Paradise Season 2 is expected to have 13 episodes, similar to Season 1. The new season will likely cover the remaining Lord Tensen arc and part of the Hōrai arc from the manga.
The series has 127 manga chapters, meaning more seasons may follow.

Hell's Paradise Season 2 continues right after the explosive ending of the first season. Gabimaru and the remaining executioners and criminals are still trapped on the deadly Shinsenkyo Island, where survival becomes even more uncertain.
The story shifts into the Lord Tensen arc, where the island’s most powerful and feared beings rule with near-immortal strength. These rulers, known as the Lord Tensen, pose a greater threat than anything the group has faced before. Their Tao-based powers and eerie combat styles push Gabimaru and his companions to their limits.
Season 2 also teases the arrival of the Horai arc, which centres on expanding the island’s mythos, unveiling deeper secrets about Shinsenkyo and the elusive power of Tao. While Lord Tensen remain a dominant threat, the evolving narrative promises further mysteries, emotional conflict, and darker spiritual elements that shape the world and its characters.
