Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku – Season 2 & Paradise Battle Game Announcement
The highly anticipated second season of Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku (地獄楽), the hit manga series by Yuji Kaku (賀来ゆうじ), has finally revealed its latest updates. Season 2 is set to premiere in January 2026 on TV Tokyo and other networks, with simultaneous streaming on Prime Video, Netflix, and Lemino.
Synopsis
In their desperate search for the Elixir of Immortality, Gabimaru (画眉丸) and his companions finally reach the fortress of the monstrous beings who rule the island - the Tensen (天仙). Survival now depends on cooperation between criminals and executioners alike, as escape from the island is impossible without unity.
Meanwhile, the shogunate orders a new wave of landings, led by Yamada Asaemon Shyugen (山田浅ェ門殊現). Among them lurks the Ishigakure clan (石隠れ), tied to Gabimaru by a fateful past.
Determined to secure the Elixir and escape as quickly as possible, Gabimaru and the others press forward - only to be confronted by the overwhelming might of the Tensen. The battle for the Elixir escalates into an all-out clash between humans and Tensen, a deadly struggle where only the strongest will survive.
