Fans of Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku finally have a firm date with Shinsenkyo again: Season 2 begins on January 11, 2026, with MAPPA returning to adapt the deadly “Lord Tensen” and “Horai” arcs. With a new opening theme, “Kasuka na Hana,” by Tatsuya Kitani feat BABYMETAL plus free manga, marathon streams, and a survival RPG, 2026 is set to be the series’ biggest year yet.
Hell’s Paradise Season 2 Premieres on January 11, 2026
Hell’s Paradise Season 2 airs in Japan every Sunday from January 11 at 11:45 p.m. on the TXN (TV Tokyo) network, keeping its late-night horror slot. The same night, new episodes drop on Prime Video, Netflix, and Lemino in Japan, so you can stream the weekly descent into Shinsenkyo right after broadcast.
Streaming and Broadcast Options for Season 2
Outside Japan, Crunchyroll is once again handling the simulcast, with episodes streaming weekly in most of the Americas and Europe. In Asia, Netflix and other local platforms will carry the show, so if you watched Season 1 legally, expect Season 2 to appear in almost the same place on your app’s home screen.
New Opening Theme “Kasuka na Hana” by Tatsuya Kitani feat BABYMETAL
The fresh opening song, “Kasuka na Hana,” debuted in the latest trailer shown at Jump Festa 2026, pairing Kitani’s emotional vocals with BABYMETAL’s sharper rock sound. The new OP cuts between saturated island scenery, close-ups of the Tensen, and quick flashes of battle, hinting at how far Gabimaru and the others will be pushed without spoiling every matchup.
Season 2 Changes and New Faces Beyond the First Run
Story-wise, the new season dives straight into the showdown with the immortal Tensen in their Horai stronghold, escalating the body horror and power-scaling from Season 1. Director Kaori Makita and studio MAPPA return, joined by new character designer Akitsugu Hisagi, whose designs emphasize the inhuman elegance of characters like Ju Fa and Tao Fa introduced in the latest promo.
Catch Up Fast With Free Manga, Anime Reruns, and Paradise Battle Game
If you’re behind, the committee is making it easy to catch up. Around the premiere, all Hell’s Paradise manga chapters become free to read for a limited time on Shonen Jump+, and Season 1 gets a marathon run on the official Jump Channel YouTube and TVer in Japan. On top of that, the free-to-play survival RPG Jigokuraku: Paradise Battle is live on iOS, Android, and Windows, letting you relive the anime with new scenarios supervised by series writer Akira Kindaichi and music by Yoshiaki Dewa.
To dive deeper, check the official anime website at the Hell’s Paradise official site, read the original manga on Shonen Jump+ while it is free, and visit the game’s Paradise Battle official page for details on events and updates.
Get Ready for a Darker, Stranger Return to Shinsenkyo
Taken together, Season 2, the campaigns, and Paradise Battle turn Hell’s Paradise into a full-on multimedia plunge back into Shinsenkyo. Mark January 11 in your calendar, line up the reruns or manga while the campaigns are live, grab the game if it is out in your region, and get ready to decide all over again whether this beautiful island feels more like hell or a twisted kind of paradise.
