As of July 2024, Chainsaw Man has only one season which contains 12 episodes.
In the Fall 2022 anime season, the new series Chainsaw Man made a sensational debut. Based on Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga, it was a bloody, brutal, and unconventional shonen anime that captivated new fans with its subversive themes and innovative storytelling. The story follows Denji, an orphaned teenager who becomes a devil hunter to make ends meet, accompanied by Pochita, a devil dog that transforms into a chainsaw. The series introduced a quirky cast of antiheroes, featured a vibrant array of outro theme songs, and delivered a dark, compelling narrative that secured Chainsaw Man's place in the esteemed "dark trio" of shonen anime.
How many seasons are there of Chainsaw Man?
Chainsaw Man's anime currently has one season with 12 episodes, which aired from October 11, 2022, to December 27, 2022. This first season adapted around 38 chapters of the manga, covering four story arcs: Introduction, Bat Devil, Eternity Devil, and most of the Katana Man arc.
Produced by MAPPA, the anime successfully brought Tatsuki Fujimoto's dark fantasy world to life, drawing significant attention for its mix of horror, action, and dark humor. Although a second season has not been officially confirmed, there are ongoing reports of potential future projects for the franchise.
When will season 2 of Chainsaw Man be released?
As of July 2024, there is no official confirmation about a second season, but in December 2023, it was announced that the continuation would come in the form of a movie rather than a new season. Titled "Chainsaw Man — The Movie: Reze Arc," this film will pick up where the first season ended, although no release date has been set.
Thus, as a result, there are strong indications that season 2 will follow the movie at some point. Furthermore, it means that Chainsaw Man — The Movie: Reze Arc will be integral to the storyline, much like how Mugen Train served as a bridge between the first and second seasons of Demon Slayer.
