The anime adaptation of "Jujutsu Kaisen," the popular dark fantasy manga created by mangaka Gege Akutami, is currently rebroadcasting in Japan, and the release date and other information about the anime's second season will reportedly be revealed on September 18.

The latest information about "Jujutsu Kaisen" Season 2 was shared over the weekend by a Japanese entertainment news website. In an article roughly translated by Google Translate, the report says that details about the anime adaptation's second season will be disclosed on September 18 at a special program, which will be announced on the official website and official Twitter account of the series.

"In addition, the week after the 24th episode, which will be the final episode, will be broadcast on September 18th at 17:00 on 28 MBS / TBS nationwide networks. In the program, information on the second season of the TV anime scheduled to be broadcast in 2023 will also be lifted. Details of the program will be announced later on the official website and official Twitter," the report read.

A previous interview with several key personalities behind the TV anime and film adaptation of "Jujutsu Kaisen" revealed that the upcoming season is something fans should watch out for.

"Season 2 will continue the incredible story from the original comic, so I'm sure it will meet the expectations of the fans," screenwriter Hiroshi Seko said.

Meanwhile, MAPPA president Manabu Otsuka noted that the team will not repeat the same thing it did in the anime's first season and film and promised to show bigger growth for "Jujutsu Kaisen" Season 2.

"The first season of the television series and the movie have been very, very successful. We would like to leverage that success for season 2, but we are not going to be doing the same thing and repeat ourselves. To the fans of the series, I would like to show even greater success and bigger growth in season 2, for both JUJUTSU KAISEN and MAPPA," Otsuka said.

The first season of the TV anime adaptation of "Jujutsu Kaisen" premiered in 2020 with its last episode airing on March 27, 2021. The second season was announced to release sometime in 2023.
