Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: Release Date and Streaming
The confirmation of the January 2026 premiere marks a hiatus of over two years since the end of the acclaimed second season, which concluded the “Shibuya Incident” in January 2024.

An official teaser trailer has already been released, heightening anticipation for the anime’s return.
Compilation Film Sets the Stage for the Premiere
To prepare the audience, a special film will be released in the United States on December 5, 2025. The movie will compile the events of the “Shibuya Incident” (end of Season 2) and include the first two episodes of Season 3, serving as a direct bridge to the new events and ensuring viewers are fully caught up on all developments.
