Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man is set to be featured at the upcoming Jump Festa 2024. While the manga's narrative is certainly at an exciting point, fans are primarily concerned with the second season of the anime series, for which news has been essentially nonexistent.
Chainsaw Man fans are particularly eager for information on the second season due to how exciting and enthralling its television debut was, even for non-anime fans who gave it a try. With Jump Festa 2024 being where significant news about the anime came several years prior, fans are hoping history will repeat itself with respect to the information on season 2.
The manga series started serializing in 2018 in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump and has released a total of 16 volumes to date. By mid-2023, Chainsaw Man had exceeded 26 million copies in sales, making it one of the best-selling series. The series was adapted for an anime adaptation by MAPPA in October 2022. It received massive love from fans for its unique storytelling and use of dark humor.

Chainsaw Man season 2 is all but guaranteed to be given some information at series’ Jump Festa 2024 stage
Schedule, where to stream
Jump Festa 2024 is set to take place on Saturday, December 16, 2023, and Sunday, December 17, 2023, per the convention’s official website. This year’s setup will feature two main stages (Blue and Red). More than two dozen series will be represented on these two main stages.
One such series is Chainsaw Man, which is currently scheduled for the Red Stage's 3:30 pm to 4:10 pm Japanese Standard Time slot on Sunday, December 17, 2023. This translates to an 11:30 am IST and a 1:30 am EST start time, both of which will be on Sunday, December 17, 2023, in local time.
International and domestic Japanese fans have numerous ways to stream Jump Festa 2024. Methods include heading to the official Jump Festa website or YouTube channel. The live stream will have exclusive English translations available during the stream, which means fans can enjoy the event without any worries.
Japanese fans can also stream the event via the official Jump Festa smartphone application. However, international users cannot utilize this method at the time of writing.
What to expect
As mentioned above, information regarding Chainsaw Man’s second season will likely be the main focus of the series’ Super Stage at Jump Festa 2024. This claim is largely supported by rumors from earlier this year, which claimed that both a film and the second season were in production.
The information revealed at the panel will likely be a teaser trailer for Chainsaw Man season 2, as well as a monthly or seasonal release window. Assuming production started immediately before the aforementioned rumors popped up, this could be as late as Fall 2024. However, if production started earlier, fans could get the second season as early as Spring 2024.
Beyond the second season, the rumored film could also be announced at the series’ Jump Festa 2024 Super Stage. Concerning the manga, minimal information is likely to be shared. At most, fans can expect a message from Fujimoto teasing what’s next for the series rather than any major revelatory information or announcement.
Be sure to keep up with all Chainsaw Man anime, manga, and film news, as well as general anime, manga, film, and live-action news as 2023 progresses.
