Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: Culling Games reveals a release date and movie release

Itadori is set to make his return, as Jujutsu Kaisen just announced its official third season, Culling Games, which will also be getting a theatrical movie release for the first few episodes. Here is everything we know about Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: Culling Games, including its release date and theatrical movie release.

The biggest question is when Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will get its official release date. The second season, which ended back at the end of 2023, was a hit amongst anime fans, as many have been begging for its successor, Culling Games, to be released.

However, MAPPA has been making it apparent that they are more focused on the quality than getting it out, as the show announced it will not be releasing the Culling Games arc until January 2026.

This will be two years after the second season ended, which left fans in heavy anticipation of the future of the series and whether or not Gojo makes it out of concealment in the Prison Realm.

The show will jump into the Culling Games arc, which revolves heavily around the plotline involving Yuta Okkotsu’s mission to kill Yuji Itadori.

However, the show is not stopping at simply releasing its episodes on Crunchyroll. Jujutsu Kaisen also announced that they will be doing a worldwide theatrical release on November 7, 2025. No, the movie will not consist of the entire third season. Instead, it will be a re-edited version of the Shibuya Arc from the second season, with the first two episodes of the third season premiering at the end.

This has become a staple within the anime community, as Demon Slayer did the same back before one of its more recent seasons.

A lot is on the line for the Jujutsu Sorcerers in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. Will you be watching the Culling Games arc?
