Multiple industry chatter sources claim Chainsaw Man Season 2 has received an internal “production decision” and entered early work—though no studio or publisher has officially announced it yet. The rumor cycle re-ignited after the successful rollout of Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc this fall, with posts citing well-known leak trackers and secondary outlets. Treat it as credible but unconfirmed until MAPPA, Shueisha, or TV partners speak up.
What’s fueling the talk
The Reze film’s global release and strong reception reset the franchise’s momentum, naturally prompting questions about what comes next. Coverage from mainstream sites has highlighted the confusion over whether the follow-up would be a second TV season or more films—exactly the gap that leak posts now claim has been filled by an S2 go-ahead behind the scenes.
Official word (so far): none
As of today, there’s no formal confirmation from MAPPA or Shueisha. Social posts and aggregator notes point to insider claims (e.g., SugoiLITE), but without a press release or listing on official channels, the status remains “reportedly in production,” not confirmed. Keep expectations measured and watch for announcements at major beats (Jump Festa, studio events, or distributor updates).
Why the timing makes sense
The franchise just delivered Reze Arc theatrically in Japan (September 19, 2025) and abroad in late September/October, with positive box-office and strong fan buzz—exactly the kind of runway that typically precedes a greenlight for the next slate. If Season 2 is real, it would likely pivot to material immediately following Reze, though MAPPA’s multi-title pipeline means scheduling could still push broadcast timing.
What to watch next
- Official sites & events: Any concrete S2 news should surface via MAPPA/Shueisha channels or industry stages (e.g., Jump Festa). Until then, headlines calling it “decided” are still rumor-tier.
- The films’ performance: The Reze movie’s international rollout and ratings chatter remain a bellwether for how aggressively the anime continues on TV vs. film.
