There is currently one released season of the Chainsaw Man anime, with a second season officially confirmed but not yet released as of early 2026.

Current seasons

  • Chainsaw Man aired its first anime season in 2022 , produced by MAPPA, adapting the early part of the manga’s Part 1.
  • Major databases and listings still show the series as having only one completed season so far , even though more content is planned.

Season 2 status and future

  • A second season has been officially confirmed , with announcements stating that more information will be shared in 2025 and beyond, signaling that the project is in active development.
  • Coverage in anime news and guides notes that this sequel season is expected to continue adapting the remainder of Part 1 of the manga, following the arcs after the events of season 1.

Episodes and what to watch

  • The first season consists of 12 episodes , which cover roughly the opening third of the manga’s Part 1 story.
  • If you want to be fully caught up on the anime right now, you only need to watch those 12 episodes; anything beyond that continues in the manga.

Quick forum-style take

In fan discussions, people often say “there’s only one season, but the story’s just getting started.” Many expect several seasons (or movies) in total, since Part 1 of the manga alone is much longer than what season 1 adapted.

TL;DR:

  • How many seasons of Chainsaw Man are there?
    • Released: 1 season (12 episodes).
* **Confirmed:** Season 2 announced, not out yet.
