Interestingly, the trailer not only showcases new footage and brutal confrontations but also confirms that QUEEN BEE will perform the ending theme song titled “PERSONAL.” This artist has been popularly known for delivering some of the most unconventional anime music that makes a listener go through an emotionally raw journey.

Their signature style and tone seem to be a perfect match for the narrative that is going to be covered in Hell’s Paradise Season 2. A part of the song is featured in this new promotional video, further giving fans an idea of what to expect in terms of the music, and yet again, it has not disappointed.

As episode 1 of Hell's Paradise Season 2 is set to be released on January 11, 2026, viewers will have access to this show on multiple streaming platforms like Crunchyroll, Netflix (selected regions), Prime Video, and Lemino. This ensures accessibility, allowing fans to choose from various options.

To get a better idea of what Hell's Paradise Season 2 is going to cover, it will most likely focus more on the second part of the manga while also giving attention to the remaining Lord Tensen arc and the beginning of the Horai arc. The upcoming arc is going to be heavier on the battles and worldbuilding, so fans should expect intense violence. Gabimaru will be facing stronger opponents, and if he wants to make it out of the island alive, losing is not an option. Every character in Hell’s Paradise Season 2 is going to be pushed to their limits, and the quest to find that elixir continues as people on the island will have to uncover the terrifying truth behind immortality itself.

Most of the main cast from Hell's Paradise Season 1 are returning, including:

  • Chiaki Kobayashi as Gabimaru
  • Yumiri Hanamori as Yamada Asaemon Sagiri
  • Rie Takahashi as Yuzuriha

Hell’s Paradise Season 2 will also spotlight Yamada Asaemon Shugen, voiced by Ryuta Suzuki, a character whose presence signals major shifts in power dynamics among the executioners.


Final thoughts

The first season of Hell’s Paradise was part of the Spring 2023 season and gained popularity rather quickly. As the manga itself has been finished, this franchise has the advantage because its content is over, making it easier for the production house to pace itself accordingly. In the end, it would become a matter of convenience, and if this upcoming season does end up becoming popular, then chances are the renewal for Season 3 would not be a distant dream.
