Fans of Dandadan have reason to celebrate as the highly anticipated second season has been officially confirmed for a July 3, 2025, release. This news comes directly from the manga’s editor, Shihei Lin, and was further reinforced by an update from anime distributor GKids. According to GKids, the first three episodes of the new season will be released in theaters as Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye on June 6.
Adding to the excitement, Netflix’s official anime account has revealed a new teaser visual. The image showcases protagonists Momo and Okarun fleeing from a monstrous mouth, with a mysterious purple figure looming behind them. The accompanying message hints at the upcoming season’s major storyline, suggesting that Jiji’s family mystery will take center stage.
Dandadan’s Fast Return Signals Its Massive Popularity
Releasing a new season less than a year after the first is a rare feat in anime production, but Dandadan’s overwhelming success makes it clear why Science Saru prioritized this continuation. Season one, which debuted in October 2024, became Netflix’s most-watched anime of the year, surpassing major titles like Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and One Piece.
Can Okarun and Momo solve the mystery surrounding Jiji's family?

The anime’s impact extended beyond streaming numbers, earning a nomination for Anime of the Year at Crunchyroll’s awards and even receiving a nod in a recent Avengers comic. Given this level of acclaim, it seems likely that the second season was greenlit long before the first even aired.
Science Saru’s commitment to Dandadan has clearly paid off, as fans eagerly await the next chapter in the wild and unpredictable story of Momo, Okarun, and their supernatural encounters.
What Does the Teaser Visual Reveal About Season 2?
The upcoming season will continue adapting the Cursed House Arc, which introduces Jiji, a childhood friend of Momo, as he struggles with a terrifying yokai haunting his home. Netflix’s teaser strongly suggests that the story will quickly transition into the Evil Eye Arc, named after the menacing entity hinted at in the promotional artwork.
Without spoiling too much, this arc is one of the manga’s most intense storylines, blending Dandadan’s signature mix of supernatural horror, high-energy battles, and comedic moments. Fans can expect plenty of thrilling action as Momo and Okarun face off against their most terrifying foe yet.
With Dandadan quickly cementing itself as one of the most exciting anime franchises of the decade, the July 3 premiere of Season 2 is shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest anime events.
