Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 Sets October 2027 Netflix Release
The three-year gap between seasons gives the production team time to adapt the manga's later story arcs, which involve deeper dungeon exploration and the Chimera Falin plotline, without the scheduling pressure that affected some other recent Trigger projects.

Kadokawa announced on Sunday that the second season of the Delicious in Dungeon anime will debut in October 2027 and stream globally on Netflix. Studio Trigger first revealed the news at Anime Expo in Los Angeles on July 4. Alongside the release window, the companies unveiled an "ultra teaser visual" for the new season. The returning staff includes director Yoshihiro Miyajima, story editor Kimiko Ueno, character designer Naoki Takeda, music composer Yasunori Mitsuda, sound director Kohei Yoshida, and animation production by Trigger. The first season debuted in January 2024 on Netflix and ran for 24 episodes. The manga by Ryoko Kui launched in Kadokawa's Harta magazine in February 2014 and ended in September 2023. Yen Press publishes the English version. The event also announced that the "Delicious in Dungeon ~Dungeon Exploration Radio~" program will resume streaming, hosted by voice actors Kentaro Kumagai (Laios) and Sayaka Senbongi (Marcille). The "Ryoko Kui Exhibition" and "Delicious in Dungeon Exhibition" is currently running in Los Angeles through July 26.
The second season of Delicious in Dungeon was confirmed immediately after the first season ended in 2024, but the October 2027 release window marks a longer-than-typical production cycle for a sequel. The ultra teaser visual depicts the Chimera-turned Falin under the control of the magician Thistle, with the main party-Laios, Marcille, Chilchuck, Senshi, and Izutsumi-pursuing them deeper into the dungeon. The returning main cast includes Kentaro Kumagai as Laios, Sayaka Senbongi as Marcille, Asuna Tomari as Chilchuck, Hiroshi Naka as Senshi, Mitsuho Kambe as Izutsumi, Saori Hayami as Falin, Koki Uchiyama as Mithrun, and Yu Kobayashi as Thistle. The manga by Ryoko Kui has surpassed 14 million copies in circulation globally, according to one source. The first returning episode of the Dungeon Exploration Radio web program aired on July 4 at 9 PM JST on the Kadokawa Anime YouTube channel, covering the Anime Expo announcements.
