The "Culling Game" is far from over. Immediately following the broadcast of the Season 3 finale on March 26, 2026, the official Jujutsu Kaisen anime X (formerly Twitter) account confirmed that Season 4 is officially in production. The announcement has sent shockwaves through the anime community, perfectly timing the news with the start of AnimeJapan 2026, where the series is set to hold a high-profile "Red Stage" panel this weekend.
A Finale That Set the Stage Season 3, which adapted "The Culling Game Part 1," concluded with Episode 59, titled "Sendai Colony." The finale was an extended 27-minute special that showcased the high-octane battle featuring Yuta Okkotsu against formidable opponents Takako Uro and Ryu Ishigori. As the credits rolled, a teaser visual and message confirmed that the story will continue into Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4: The Culling Game Part 2. While fans originally speculated that Season 3 might run for two consecutive cours, MAPPA has instead opted to brand the next chapters as a full fourth season.
Red Stage: What to Expect at AnimeJapan All eyes are now on the AnimeJapan 2026 Red Stage, scheduled for March 28 at 14:55 JST. The panel will feature core cast members, including Junya Enoki (Yuji Itadori).
Industry insiders and fans are bracing for:
- A Teaser Trailer: The first look at "Tokyo Colony No. 2."
- Release Window: Speculation points toward a January 2027 premiere, though some hopeful fans are eyeing a late 2026 return.
- Key Visuals: New character designs for Hakari Kinji and Hajime Kashimo, who are expected to lead the upcoming arc.
"The deadly battle among those who possess cursed techniques continues," the official account stated. "The fate of Yuji and his team as they move to resolve the games continues into Season 4."
Production and Beyond Studio MAPPA remains at the helm, with director **Shota Goshozono **expected to return following the critical success of Season 3’s experimental and cinematic animation style.
With the original manga by Gege Akutami having concluded in late 2024, and the spin-off Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo ending just last week, MAPPA now has a complete roadmap to finish the adaptation. Rumors suggest that Season 4 may cover the remainder of the Culling Game, potentially leaving the final "Shinjuku Showdown" arc for a series of high-budget theatrical films.
