Hell’s Paradise Season 2 Trailer Drops — New Cast Revealed and Deadlier Battles Await
MAPPA has released a new trailer for Hell’s Paradise season 2, and the studio confirmed the series will return in January 2026 with a simulcast on Crunchyroll. The trailer focuses on the island of Shinsenkyo, the search for the Elixir of Immortality, and upcoming battles — while also announcing several new cast additions.
Trailer preview
The new trailer opens with a trip to Shinsenkyo, an island described as straddling the line between paradise and hell. It highlights the island’s connection to the legendary Elixir of Immortality, and it clearly shows increased danger: more death, more chaos, and no allies in sight. The Tensen — a team of legendary figures with supernatural abilities — appear in the footage, along with various deadly monsters that are also seeking the elixir.

The first season of the anime premiered in April 2023.
