Dorohedoro Season 2 Premieres April 1, Reveals Key Visual
Dorohedoro Season 2 premieres on April 1, 2026, as announced earlier today with a new key visual. The official announcement hints at "near-simultaneous" worldwide release, possibly indicating a similar release format as Netflix's exclusives (Sakamoto Days and Blue Box). The first season was a Netflix exclusive overseas, and starting from March 8, it will be available on more platforms.
The staff for Dorohedoro Season 2 includes returning director Yuichiro Hayashi and character designer Tomohiro Kishi. Hiroshi Seko is doing the series composition. (K)NoW_NAME is once again in charge of the music. Studio MAPPA animating.
Dorohedoro anime adapts Q Hayashida's manga, originally serialized from 2000 to 2018. The manga began serialization in 2000 in Shogakukan’s Monthly Ikki Magazine, but after the magazine ceased publication in 2014, it moved to Hibana in 2015. Hibana ceased publication in 2017, so Doroheroro manga ended its run in Monthly Shonen Sunday in 2018. VIZ Media licensed it in English.
The first season of the anime premiered in the Winter 2020 anime season. The 12-episode series was a Netflix exclusive, and it became available overseas in May of that year. In addition to Hayashi, the staff included Hiroshi Seko on series composition, and Tomohiro Kishi on character designs, while RON composed the music. (K)NoW_NAME, of which RON is a member, was in charge of the theme songs.
