It has been a great year for the Chainsaw Man fans with the Reze Arc movie, but it just got even better with the Chainsaw Man Season 2 announcement. During the Jump Festa 2026 event, Studio MAPPA announced that Season 2 of the anime, titled Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc, has entered production at the time this article is being written.
Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers from the Chainsaw Man manga.
What is Chainsaw Man: International Assassins Arc About?
The upcoming Chainsaw Man Season 2 will mostly be covering the International Assassin Arc from the manga. The Arc essentially transforms Denji into one of the most wanted men in the world, and several global assassins try to hunt him down. Assassins from several countries, like the USSR, China, the US, and Germany, arrive in Japan with one common goal: to hunt down the Chainsaw Man.
This arc introduces a lot of new villains into the series, like the immortal American brothers, Quanxi and her fiends, and the Doll Devil. However, the assassins clash, causing chaos and turning Tokyo into a battleground. Between all the fast-paced and intense fights, Makima and the Public Safety try to manage the escalating crisis, but face immense challenges.
This arc also introduces the fans to one of the Primal Fears, the Darkness Devil, towards the end of the narrative. This is one of the pivotal arcs of the series so far, since it introduces the concept of the Primal Fear devils for the very first time, which is a key plot of the narrative thereafter.

Considering how the series has been going so far, the enormous reception for Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc is likely to carry forward with the upcoming Season 2 of the anime. One of the key reasons for Reze Arc’s success is Studio MAPPA’s extensive efforts put into the cinematic animation quality, as well as a perfectly set-out plan.
With MAPPA not revealing an exact date for the upcoming season, it may be a blessing. The studio might have big plans for the upcoming season in terms of production, and if they do so, the future of Tatsuki Fujimoto‘s series is in good hands.

Because of the current circumstances (the Reze Arc movie was released very recently on September 19, 2025), fans might have to wait a bit longer for the season. While the studio has not confirmed or revealed any official date or timeline of release, our best bet is that it will probably be in 2027.
Nevertheless, the series is at a high right now, and surely the upcoming season will be worth the wait. In the meantime, here are some pieces of information about the Chainsaw Man anime series:
