Fans of Dorohedoro can now celebrate after waiting six long years. Netflix has officially announced that Dorohedoro Season 2 will be available worldwide in Spring 2026. This will be the return of one of the most popular dark fantasy anime series in recent years.
The anime’s official X (previously Twitter) account made the announcement, along with a new teaser image to mark the fifth anniversary of the first season’s debut. Polygon says that the next season will only be available on Netflix and not on regular TV in Japan.

The new teaser image suggested that Dorohedoro Season 2 will be available to stream practically everywhere at the same time, giving fans in all regions an equal chance to return to the dark realm of Hole.
The official Dorohedoro website revealed that the sequel is being made as a “streaming series.” This means that Netflix will be the only place to watch it around the world, exactly like the first season.
What to Look Forward to in Dorohedoro Season 2
Netflix hasn’t given a specific release date yet, but the streaming giant has vowed that Season 2 will build on the crazy, wild, and beautiful universe that was created in the first season.
The new season will likely pick up where the last one left off, with Caiman, the man with a reptilian head who can’t remember anything, and his devoted friend Nikaido continuing their search for the sorcerer who turned Caiman into a monster. Fans can expect the same mix of dark comedy, harsh action, and dystopian stories that made the first season so popular.
A summary of Dorohedoro Season 1
Dorohedoro is based on Q Hayashida’s manga series. It first aired in Japan from November 2000 to September 2018 and came to Netflix in 2020. Yuichiro Hayashi directed the anime, which fascinated viewers with its strange blend of dark cityscapes and strange fantastical aspects.
The story is about the strange and hazardous city of Hole, where people and sorcerers live together in turmoil. Caiman, who has a lizard’s head and can’t remember anything, pursues sorcerers with Nikaido to find out the truth about how he changed.
The anime’s fans have been patient even though it hasn’t been on for a long time. They are now even more excited because Netflix has confirmed that the sequel will be out in 2026.
