Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4: The Culling Game Part 2 and What's Confirmed So Far
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 is officially confirmed, subtitled The Culling Game Part 2, and produced again by studio MAPPA. Below is a clean breakdown of what is confirmed, where the story picks up, and why the biggest question — the release date — is likely to be answered at Juju Fes 2026 this weekend.
What Is Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4?
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 is the anime continuation subtitled The Culling Game Part 2, produced by MAPPA, that resumes the deadly sorcerer battle royale begun in Season 3. It was confirmed in late March 2026, immediately after Season 3's finale, and is currently in production.
| Detail | Confirmed status |
|---|---|
| Title | Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 2 (Season 4) |
| Studio | MAPPA (returning) |
| Continues from | Season 3 (The Culling Game Part 1) |
| Production status | Officially confirmed, in production |
| Release window | No official date; 2027 widely expected |
The Culling Game Part 2: Where the Story Picks Up
Season 3 aired from January 9 to March 27, 2026, ran for 12 episodes, and was titled The Culling Game Part 1. It opened with a one-hour double-episode premiere and adapted the first half of the Culling Game — the barrier-sealed death game in which sorcerers and cursed players hunt one another for points across a partitioned Japan.
Season 4 is set to continue that arc directly. In the manga, the Culling Game funnels the cast toward one of the series' most anticipated confrontations: the Shinjuku Showdown, headlined by Satoru Gojo against Ryomen Sukuna. Season 4 is widely framed as the bridge that carries the story to that fight, so expect the stakes to escalate sharply as the Culling Game reaches its conclusion. New rules, new players, and the fallout from Season 3's ending all feed into that build-up, which is a large part of why the continuation drew an immediate confirmation rather than a long wait for a decision.
When Will Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 Release?
As of late August 2026, MAPPA and the production committee have not announced a broadcast date. Reporting points to a 2027 window, with some outlets noting January 2027 as an early possibility tied to Japanese network scheduling. Until an official announcement lands, any specific month should be treated as speculation rather than confirmed fact.
The most likely place for that announcement is Juju Fes 2026, the franchise's fifth-anniversary event running August 29–30, 2026 at K-Arena Yokohama. Anniversary stage events like this are where studios typically unveil a release window, a longer trailer, and returning cast — so this weekend is the moment to watch. We break down the broader anniversary slate in our Juju Fes 2026 guide.
What It Means for Collectors
A new season revives demand across the whole Jujutsu Kaisen lineup, and the anniversary year has already stacked the release calendar. Bandai's 5th Anniversary FINAL Ichiban Kuji brings MASTERLISE figures of Yuji, Yuta, and Gojo, while the Shibuya Incident exhibition and stage play keep the fanbase active heading into a Season 4 reveal. If Season 4 sets its window this weekend, expect figure and kuji announcements to follow the momentum.
