Is ‘Chainsaw Man' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 10, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated July 10, 2025, 16:18 IST Alright, Chainsaw Man fans, let's talk about the big question on everyone's mind: are we getting a Season 2 of this wild, bloody, and totally awesome anime? Since the first season dropped in 2022 and blew us all away, we've been dying to know what's next for Denji and his devil-hunting crew. So, let's break down what's going on, what we've heard, and why we're still hopeful. The Current Status of Chainsaw Man Season 2 As of right now—July 2025—MAPPA, the studio that brought us that jaw-dropping first season, hasn't officially said, 'Yup, Season 2 is coming!' But don't lose hope just yet. Chainsaw Man was a massive hit, and the manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto is still a fan favorite, with plenty of story left to tell. Word on the street (and by street, I mean X posts and anime forums) is that MAPPA's got a lot on their plate with stuff like Jujutsu Kaisen . That might be slowing things down, but a second season feels like a 'when,' not an 'if.' What About the Movie? Before we get Season 2, we're getting a treat: Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc . Yup, MAPPA's working on a film that'll cover the Bomb Girl arc, introducing the awesome and mysterious Reze. It's slated for 2026, and it's basically a bridge between Season 1 and whatever comes next. The fact that MAPPA's pouring resources into this movie is a pretty strong hint they're not done with Chainsaw Man . So, while we wait for Season 2 news, we've got Reze to keep us hyped. What Could Season 2 Look Like? If we do get Season 2 (fingers crossed), it'll likely pick up after the Reze Arc and dive into something like the International Assassins arc. Here's what to expect: New Faces: Reze's just the start—there are some wild new characters in the manga. Crazy Fights: The devils get even weirder, and MAPPA's animation would make those battles pop. Denji's Journey: Our boy's got dreams, heartbreak, and a whole lot of growing up to do. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc release date, story, trailer, cast, and more
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Chainsaw Man movie is getting closer every day and, thanks to this year's Anime Expo, we now have our best look yet at the upcoming film. Instead of season 2, we're getting a big-screen offering, officially titled Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, to continue Denji's story. If you can hardly wait for the follow-up to one of the best anime out there, we've got everything you need to know about the Chainsaw Man movie, from its release date, plot details, trailer updates, and more. As you might have guessed from the title, the movie is set to adapt the manga's Reze Arc. This follows on from Denji's origin as a Public Safety Devil Hunter and member of Tokyo Special Division 4, and things are about to get a lot bigger and bolder – it's affectionally referred to as the Bomb Girl arc by fans for a reason. For more updates on some of the other biggest anime titles out there, take a look at our guides to Vinland Saga season 3, all the latest on the new anime arriving over the next year, and One-Punch Man season 3. As announced during the weekend of AnimeJapan, Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc is releasing on September 19 in Japanese cinemas and October 29 in the US and UK. Reze Arc's release is being staggered in other territories: it's sit to hit most Asian regions on September 25 and September 26, while France is the first western territory to clap eyes on the Chainsaw Man movie on October 22. Alongside the US and UK, several other countries (including Germany and Belgium) will also get Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc on October 29. Rounding things off is a release in a clutch of territories (such as Spain, Mexico, and the majority of South America) on October 30. Unless it runs over into a second season, it appears the Chainsaw Man movie will hurtle through the explosive Bomb Girl arc (chapters 40-52) and will set up the International Assassins arc (chapters 53-70) for TV episodes down the line. The synopsis of the Chainsaw Man movie reads, "Denji became Chainsaw Man a boy with a devil's heart, and is now part of Special Division 4's devil hunters. After a date with Makima, the woman of his dreams, Denji takes shelter from the rain. There he meets Reze, a girl who works in a café." The first season of Chainsaw Man adapted the first 38 chapters of the manga. So, if you want to read ahead to see what the movie will cover, then you'll need to start from chapter 39. As of right now, it's unclear how far the feature film will reach in terms of adapting the source material. We're about 40% of the way through the manga's first part (the Public Safety Saga), though there's likely a little too much material to cover for just one movie. No spoilers here, but the woman seen at the end of the season 1 finale – Reze – will factor heavily into the movie, and she'll certainly get close to Denji. The overarching threat of Gun Devil will also be keenly felt as the now-merged Division 4 of Public Safety and its team of Devil Hunters encounter new friends and foes. On the topic of Chainsaw Man season 2: yes, we're just as surprised as you are that the anime is going into a canon movie directly after its first season. A second season will surely arrive down the line and will likely cover the aforementioned International Assassins arc, which (to keep it vague) features Denji's notoriety increasing, something which puts him on the radar of various hitmen. Still catching up on one of the best anime series around? The first season of Chainsaw Man revolved around a boy called Denji and his Chainsaw Devil/dog companion, Pochita. After inheriting his father's debt from the yakuza, Denji becomes a Devil Hunter – but is killed by a Zombie Devil, one of many creatures that manifest from humanity's fears. Denji, however, is revived and fuses with Pochita to become the titular Chainsaw Man. By pulling the ripcord on his head, he can turn into what is, essentially, a sentient chainsaw. Much of the first season saw him grow into his role as Public Safety Devil Hunter alongside partners Power, Aki, Himeno, and Kobeni. They face off against the likes of the Bat Devil, Ghost Devil, and Katana Man – who they eventually capture. The season ends with the Snake Devil killing Akane, the team being on the hunt for the Gun Devil, and the introduction of a mysterious new woman who asks whether someone would rather be a "country mouse" or a "city mouse." The first Chainsaw Man trailers are here. The initial Reze Arc teaser, released in December 2024, puts the spotlight on Reze and her fledgling dynamic with Denji. You can see it for yourself above. The second 30-second trailer again teases Reze's disruptive qualities, with her inclusion setting up some serious shock and awe in Denji's life. A full trailer dropped at the Anime Expo in July 2025, where Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc had a large presence with a full panel. The clip, which you can watch below, establishes the movie's explosive love triangle, as well as giving us a glimpse of Denji's transformation and the movie's new theme song. We expect Denji (Kikunosuke Toya), Makima (Tomori Kusunoki), Kobeni (Karin Takahashi) Power (Fairouz Ai), and Aki (Shogo Sakata) all to return in the Chainsaw Man movie. One major newcomer will be Reze (Reina Ueda), while we also anticipate much of the English dub cast to reprise their roles. There are some newcomers to the cast, too: Hidenori Takahashi joins as the vice-captain of the Public Safety Demon Suppression Special Section 2, Kenji Akabane will play his colleague Nomo, Kenji Nomura will voice the mysterious man who's after the Chainsaw Heart, and Eri Kitamura is the Typhoon Demon. Yes, Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc continues where the first season left off and will be canon to the events of the anime. In short, it's a must-watch if you want to continue Denji's saga - in much the same way Mugen Train was effectively presented (and later adapted) as Demon Slayer's second season. However, we still expect an actual Chainsaw Man season 2 to be released at some point after the movie. That means, in effect, the watch order will go: Chainsaw Man season 1, Reze Arc movie, Chainsaw Man season 2. The first season of Chainsaw Man is available to watch, subbed and dubbed on Crunchyroll for Premium members. It's safe to assume the Chainsaw Man movie will be released theatrically and will likely stream on Crunchyroll down the line. Not sure what to watch next? Here are some of the best anime movies you should be watching right now, plus our guides on how to watch Dragon Ball in order and how to watch Attack on Titan in order.

Love Is in the Air in The New ‘Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc' Trailer
If you've been hankering for some Chainsaw Man in anime form, MAPPA is taking the shonen anime to theaters with the upcoming Reze Arc movie. During this weekend's festivities at Anime Expo, the studio unleashed a new trailer show how much love, death, and caranage await Denji and the gang in September. Set after the anime's first season, things kick off with Denji's boss Makima finally agreeing to go on a date with him. Just as he's reeling from getting to achieve another facet of normal life, a second girl by the name of Reze arrives and hits his heart. The more he hangs out with Reze, the more Denji finds himself conflicted about which girl he's crazy for, or if there's room for both of them in his heart. But this is Chainsaw Man, and that means Denji can't ever get a break. Not only was Reze lying about her intentions, she's actually the Bomb Devil, and wants him to join her side by any means necessary, which soon puts all of Tokyo in danger. This new trailer spends some more time showing Denji's thoughts on the two objects of his affection and his individual dates with them both, which involve subtly manipulating his teenage heart. And once Reze shows up in her Devil form, all hell breaks loose as Denji takes to the sky to fight his crush and his fellow Hunters Aki and Angel enter the fray. Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc hits theaters in Japan on September 19, then internationally on September 24 before hitting the US on October 29. Want more io9 news?
