The Fall 2023 anime season began with great anticipation, featuring many exciting series. However, fans have expressed disappointment over the absence of Chainsaw Man season 2, a series that was highly anticipated. After its successful debut during the Fall 2022 season, fans were eagerly awaiting a continuation of the series in the near future. Unfortunately, it seems that won't be happening. As the year 2023 comes to a close, there has been no news or premiere date announced for Chainsaw Man season 2 from MAPPA Studios. While this is perplexing, there are a few factors to consider, including the reception of the first season and the studio's busy schedule since its premiere.

Chainsaw Man season 2 status questionable, but likely to come given series’ massive popularity
, leaked information indicates that there are plans for both a second season and a film in the works for the Chainsaw Man franchise. This news was first reported earlier in the year. While it does not serve as official confirmation of a second season being produced, it allows fans to maintain some hope for now.
Regrettably, as of the creation of this article, there exists no confirmed details pertaining to the production and release date of Chainsaw Man season 2. Essentially, the only fragment of information available to fans that can be considered somewhat official is the teaser observed in the concluding moments of the first season's finale. It appears that this teaser has set the stage for the next arc.
No official updates regarding the second season of Chainsaw Man have been announced by the creator, Tatsuki Fujimoto, or the animation production studio MAPPA Studios. However, fans can look forward to Shueisha's Jump Festa '24 event in December this year, where significant news regarding anime and manga adaptations from Shonen Jump properties is usually revealed. If season 2 of Chainsaw Man is set to air in 2024, it is highly probable that fans will receive the first updates about its continuation at this event.

The television anime adaptation of Fujimoto's original manga series gained immense popularity internationally, particularly in the West. However, Japanese fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the anime, feeling that it failed to capture the chaotic essence of the source material. They believed that the adaptation took on a more cinematic and Hollywood-like style, losing the original feel of the series. The criticisms were significant enough that leaked information suggests a new director will be brought on board for Chainsaw Man season 2.
Speculation and leaked info
The reason for the noticeable disparity in views on the series between Western and Eastern fans remains uncertain, despite this clear divide being evident. It appears that MAPPA Studios aimed to introduce modifications to various aspects of the series' production in response to this, which could account for the limited availability of official information due to the restructuring of production teams.

In addition to the reported directorial change, there are additional exciting details about Chainsaw Man season 2 that have been leaked. The leaked information, first mentioned in late June 2022, suggests that MAPPA Studios is currently working on both the second season of the series and a franchise film.
The news originated from @MangaEarlyBird, a trusted source for anime and manga leaks on Twitter. Other credible sources have since confirmed the information. Speculation has arisen suggesting that both the movie and the second season will air in 2024, which could explain the lack of official announcements leading up to Jump Festa '24.
Assuming the speculation holds true, fans can anticipate the second season premiering in the summer of 2024, as was the case with Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, another series produced by MAPPA. Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 was first announced around the time of Jump Festa '23 and debuted in the following summer. It is important to note that this information is still conjecture and should not be treated as an official confirmation.
