Anime enthusiasts are gearing up for a major 2026 comeback as Jujutsu Kaisen, the blockbuster supernatural action series, returns with its highly anticipated third season on Crunchyroll.

Picking up after the shocking Shibuya incident in season 2, the new instalment dives into the dark and perilous Culling Game arc, where sorcerers are thrust into life-or-death battles orchestrated by the sinister Kenjaku.

With a returning star-studded voice cast, a gripping storyline adapted from Gege Akutami’s manga, and a weekly episode rollout beginning 8 January, season 3 promises to deliver the intense action, suspense, and high-stakes drama that has made the franchise a global phenomenon.


Since its debut, Jujutsu Kaisen has become a global phenomenon, praised for its intense action, intricate storytelling, and compelling characters. The franchise includes a hit manga by Gege Akutami, multiple anime seasons, and feature films, solidifying its place as one of the most popular modern shonen series.

Release schedule

Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is anticipated to span 24-26 episodes and, following the pattern of previous seasons, will likely be divided into two parts, or “cours.”

The first two episodes of the initial cour, The Culling Game Part 1, are scheduled to premiere on 8 January 2026 on Crunchyroll, with the cour expected to include 12–13 episodes and subsequent episodes releasing weekly every Thursday. No information is available for the second part.
