Dorohedoro, once considered one of the most difficult mangas to adapt to due to its brutality, despite not having earned massive international popularity, has garnered a loyal following due to MAPPA’s incredible adaptation. Dorohedoro’s season 2 confirmed is finally coming back to streaming platforms and the announcement came exactly 1 year after the confirmation of the sequel alongside a key visual to spark fan interest.

Anime Series By MAPPA; Based On The Manga by Q Hayashida

Dorohedoro’s season 2 is scheduled to release on 2025 and the news was shared on the anime’s official website, just in time to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the anime's premiere. The announcement also revealed the key staff for the sequel, confirming that MAPPA will continue to take charge of the project, including the return of its director, Yuichiro Hayashi. This means that fans can count on Dorohedoro’s aesthetic and characteristic visual style being maintained upon the series’ return. Additionally, Dorohedoro’s director also published a statement about the new season:

We’ve kept everyone waiting for a long time, but the anime “Dorohedoro” is finally back! It’s even more chaotic, anarchic, and slasher than the last time! It’s been powered up. If you haven’t seen Dorohedoro yet, or you think it sounds scary, you still have time before it starts streaming! Be sure to watch the previous season and step into a comical, chaotic world!

Unfortunately, Dorohedoro Season 2's first poster didn’t feature Kaiman, Nikaido, or any characters but only storyboards and production notes. Also, the fact that the exact release date for the sequel was not disclosed, and MAPPA studio has several projects confirmed for 2025, like Lazarus, the film Rose of Versailles, Campfire Cooking In Another World Season 2, and the film adaptation of Chainsaw Man's Reze Arc, hints that Dorohedoro Season 2 will probably drop close to the end of the year in Fall or winter season 2025.

The Sequel Will Also Be Available on Netflix Upon Its Release

Despite the recent rise of the dark fantasy genre with global hits like Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Chainsaw Man, Dorohedoro has flown under the radar of many viewers because of its demographic, as seinen animes are often overlooked. However, this comes hand in hand with the series' brutality and excessive graphic violence, with brutal killings and explicit dismembering that come naturally in the ruthless world of the series.
