When does Dungeon Meshi Season 2 release?
The TV anime Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 is scheduled to premiere in October 2027. Season 1 aired from January 2024 across two cours (24 episodes) and earned strong praise at home and abroad for its unique “eat the monsters” premise and detailed animation. The sequel arrives roughly three and a half years later.
Release window

The exact premiere date, broadcaster, and episode count have not been announced yet. Expect more details from the official site and X account.
World-first reveal at Anime Expo 2026
The Season 2 announcement was made on July 4, 2026 (local time) during the TRIGGER panel at Anime Expo 2026, one of North America’s largest anime events. In Japan that corresponds to the early morning of July 5, meaning the reveal happened overseas before any domestic announcement.
Delicious in Dungeon is hugely popular through international streaming and has a global fanbase, so debuting the news at Anime Expo ahead of Japan underscores just how worldwide the title’s appeal has become. Japanese fans also flooded social media with excitement, calling it “the best way to wake up.”

What the ultra teaser visual reveals
Alongside the Season 2 news, an ultra teaser visual was released. It is a newly drawn illustration by character designer Naoki Takeda, built around a striking composition that hints at the story to come.
Characters in the visual
At the center are the chimera-form Falin from Season 1’s climax and the mad mage Thistle, the source of that threat. In the foreground stand the main party ── Laios, Marcille, Chilchuck, and Senshi ── plus Izutsumi, who joined later in Season 1. It all points to the story entering the “Thistle arc,” one of the manga’s biggest high points.

TRIGGER ── known for the Gridman series and Little Witch Academia ── continues to handle animation and direction, so the same rich food textures and dynamic action sequences are expected to return.
Where to watch Season 2
Season 1 streamed worldwide on Netflix and other services and became a global hit. Season 2 has been announced for release on Netflix and various streaming platforms as well.
A good time to rewatch Season 1
With the premiere still a while away, catching up on Season 1 (24 episodes) is a smart way to prepare. Because the Thistle arc rapidly accelerates the plot, refreshing yourself on the events of the dungeon and the party’s goals will make Season 2 far more rewarding. The specific platform and any exclusivity details are still to be confirmed.
