Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 is scheduled for October 2027, not 2026. Trigger returns, and no exact date, episode count or broadcast slot has been announced.
This page previously said the release date was “set for October 2026”, confirmed by Trigger at Anime Expo 2026, with a split cour running October to December 2026 and resuming in January 2027. That is a year early and the detail around it was not sourced. Rewritten on 4 October 2026.
Season 2: what is confirmed
| Release window | October 2027 |
| Studio | Trigger |
| Episode count | Not announced |
| Exact date | Not announced |
| Cour structure | Not announced |
That is genuinely all of it. The split cour structure, the dub languages and the simulcast arrangement the old version described were not announced by anyone.
Season 1, for reference
Season 1 ran 24 episodes from 4 January to 13 June 2024 at Trigger, released worldwide on Netflix. Twenty four episodes across two cours without a break, which is worth remembering when people guess at Season 2’s shape: the production has already shown it can run long.
It adapts Ryoko Kui’s manga, which is complete, so the source material is all there and the adaptation is not waiting on anything.
Why the gap is this long
Season 1 finished in June 2024 and Season 2 is slated for October 2027, so a little over three years. That is a long wait by any standard, and no reason has been given publicly.
What can be said without guessing: Trigger is a small studio with several concurrent projects, Season 1 was an unusually consistent 24 episode run rather than a 12 episode cour, and the series depends heavily on its food and creature animation, which is not the kind of work that scales by adding staff. None of that is an explanation from the production, only context.
Where to watch
Netflix carries Season 1 worldwide, subtitled and dubbed. Season 2’s distribution has not been announced, though Netflix is the obvious expectation given Season 1.
Twenty four episodes is a comfortable rewatch before 2027, and since the manga is finished you can also simply read ahead.
