The 11th and final episode of Dorohedoro Season 2 revealed on Thursday that the third season is now in production. To mark the announcement, the official website released a commemorative illustration drawn by series director Hayashi Yuuichirou.
The first season, produced by animation studio MAPPA, aired 12 episodes in Winter 2020. Netflix streamed the anime in Japan in January 2020 and later worldwide in May of that year. The second limited edition Blu-ray bundled six short episodes in June 2020.
The second season streamed during Spring 2026 for 11 episodes on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Ani-One Asia, with multiple subtitles and dubs.
The anime adapts Q Hayashida‘s adventure fantasy manga, which originally debuted in Spirits Zoukan Ikki (later renamed to Monthly Ikki) in November 2000. It later moved to HiBaNa in March 2015 after Ikki stopped serialization, then to Gessan in November 2017 when HiBaNa ceased publication, ending in September 2018. Shogakukan released the 23rd and final volume in November 2018.
VIZ Media began publishing the manga digitally on its SigIkki website in 2009 and started physical distribution under its Signature imprint in March 2010. The 23rd and final volume was released in September 2019.
Synopsis
Hole—a dark, decrepit, and disorderly district where the strong prey on the weak and death is an ordinary occurrence—is a realm separated from law and ethics. Magic users dominate it, thinking of Hole’s denizens as insects. Caiman, a man more reptile than human, hunts them in search of answers, immune to magic. With his companion Nikaidou, who runs the restaurant Hungry Bug, he navigates a gritty world mixing comedy and carnage.
