The Japanese fantasy series "Delicious in Dungeon" (Japanese: "Dungeon Meshi") is getting a second season. As announced at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles, the new season will start in October 2027 on Netflix and other streaming services. The announcement was made on July 4, 2026 (local time) during the panel of animation studio TRIGGER, which is once again responsible for production.
At the same time, a so-called ultra-teaser visual was released, showing central characters of the upcoming story: the chimera-like transformed Falin and the mad mage Thistle who controls her. In the foreground, the protagonists Laios, Marcille, Chilchuck, Senshi, and Izutsumi can be seen making their way to the deepest levels of the labyrinth to rescue Falin. The image section hints at the climax of the story, known in the source material as the "Thistle Arc."
The second season directly follows the events of the first season, which aired in early 2024 and ended with a dramatic cliffhanger. The series is based on the manga series of the same name by Ryoko Kui, which was published in 14 volumes between 2014 and 2023. In Japan alone, the series has achieved a total circulation of over 14 million copies.
Both the production team and the Japanese voice cast are returning for the second season. Direction is once again handled by Yoshihiro Miyajima, series composition by Kimiko Ueno, character design by Naoki Takeda, and music by Yasunori Mitsuda and Shunsuke Tsuchiya. The voice cast includes Kentaro Kumagai (Laios), Sayaka Senbongi (Marcille), and Saori Hayami (Falin), among others.
Alongside the announcement, the radio show "Dungeon Meshi – Labyrinth Exploration Radio" returns on the KADOKAWA Anime YouTube channel starting July 5, 2026. Hosts Kentaro Kumagai and Sayaka Senbongi plan to reveal further information about the new season there.
The first season of "Delicious in Dungeon" was internationally acclaimed – on Rotten Tomatoes, the series received a perfect score of 100 percent. The second season promises to continue the story with even higher stakes and is likely to be one of the most anticipated anime events of 2027.
