Hell’s Paradise is yet another fantasy drama packed with superhuman threats, mystical powers, and an unknown land tied together by a single deadly mission. The story quickly etched itself into viewers’ hearts, as MAPPA’s animation once again worked its magic to create an impeccable adaptation. Season 1, with its haunting scenes and deep exploration of life and death, was a major success among viewers.

Now, that Hell’s Paradise is officially renewed for a second season, is it headed to Netflix, too? 

Hell’s Paradise, which follows the story of ninja Gabimaru, is set to premiere on January 11, 2026, exclusively on Crunchyroll. Unfortunately, there is no Netflix release date for the series yet, even though the first season is currently streaming on the platform. Still, there is hope that the streaming giant might pick up the new season later this year.

Hell’s Paradise introduced viewers to Gabimaru, a deadly ninja who is given a second chance at life after being sentenced to death. To earn his freedom, he must find the elixir of life on Shinsenkyo. However, the land is crawling with terrifying creatures and unknown powers.

As Gabimaru set out on this dangerous quest alongside other condemned criminals, memories of his past and his wife play a crucial role in strengthening his resolve. Needless to say, anticipation for the second season is higher than ever.

Apart from Hell’s Paradise, several other major anime titles are also expected to drop in 2026.

Heading into 2026, there are three anime juggernauts circled on calendars. First up is Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, which is expected to drop on January 8. The story follows high schooler Yuji Itadori and picks up after the devastating Shibuya Incident, which left the series darker, bloodier, and emotionally heavier than ever before.

Next in line is Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle 2. The Infinity Castle arc is being adapted into a trilogy of films, with the first movie having been released in late 2025. Anticipation is through the roof as fans brace themselves for Tanjiro’s final confrontation with Muzan Kibutsuji, and while the second film is expected to arrive sometime in mid-June this year, an official release date has yet to be confirmed.

  Meanwhile, One Piece fans are gearing up for one of the most intriguing arcs yet as the Straw Hat crew heads to Elbaf Island. After wrapping up the Egghead arc on December 28, 2025, the anime shifted to a seasonal format. As for the next season, it is expected to premiere sometime in April this year.

Between Hell’s Paradise season 2 and the return of anime’s biggest franchises, 2026 is already stacked with must-watch releases. And each title brings its own emotional weight and high-stakes action.
