Fans of the quirky fantasy anime Delicious in Dungeon have reason to rejoice – season 2 has officially been announced! The series, also known by its Japanese title “Dungeon Meshi”, follows a group of adventurers as they explore a monster-filled dungeon, cooking up the creatures they defeat along the way.
With its unique blend of dungeon-crawling action and culinary creativity, Delicious in Dungeon quickly became a hit after its initial 2017 release. Now, eager viewers are hungry for more. Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming Delicious in Dungeon season 2 release.
When Will Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 Premiere?
The exact Delicious in Dungeon season 2 release date has not yet been announced. However, the official Twitter account for the series confirmed in March 2023 that production on a second season is underway. Based on the typical production timeline for an anime season, most fans and industry watchers expect the season 2 premiere to arrive sometime in late 2025 or early 2026.
While you wait for Delicious in Dungeon season 2, it’s the perfect time to rewatch the delightful first season, consisting of 12 episodes. The show’s mouth-watering monster dishes and RPG-inspired adventures make for a satisfying rewatch. Catch up on all the dungeon-delving, cooking action on Crunchyroll, which has the entire first season available subbed and dubbed.
What Will the Plot of Season 2 Cover?
Minor spoilers ahead for Delicious in Dungeon season 1 and the manga
Season 1 of the anime adapted volumes 1-3 of the original Delicious in Dungeon manga by Ryoko Kui. The season ended with our party of adventurers, led by human fighter Laios, reaching the 3rd floor of the dungeon. There they encountered the menacing Red Dragon – the same beast that devoured Laios’ sister Falin in the show’s first episode, kicking off the quest to rescue her.
While unconfirmed, season 2 will likely pick up where this cliffhanger left off and cover the next major story arcs from the manga. This includes Laios and company’s continued exploration of the dungeon’s depths and their dramatic confrontation with the Red Dragon. The manga, which began in 2014, is still ongoing in Japan, currently at 12 volumes. This leaves plenty of material for Delicious in Dungeon season 2 to draw upon.
Of course, the real star of the show is the monster cuisine! Fans can look forward to the party’s dwarf chef Senshi rustling up more creative, if sometimes questionable, dishes made from defeated dungeon denizens. What new and exotic monster morsels await in the deeper dungeon levels? Delicious in Dungeon season 2 is sure to cook up some surprises.
The Returning Delicious in Dungeon Cast & Crew
No official announcements have been made yet regarding the Delicious in Dungeon season 2 cast and staff. However, the principal Japanese voice actors from season 1 are expected to reprise their roles:
- Yūma Uchida as Laios Touden
- Takahiro Sakurai as Marcille
- Aki Toyosaki as Chilchuck
- Katsuyuki Konishi as Senshi
- Maaya Uchida as Falin Touden

Similarly, barring scheduling conflicts or other issues, the main staff from season 1 will likely return for the second outing. This includes director Takahiro Matsushima, series composition writer Michiko Yokote, and character designer Eri Kojima, all at animation studio Trigger Point Pictures.
The catchy opening theme song from season 1, “Aozora Traveling” by Uchida Maaya, was a fan favorite. No word yet on the OP/ED for season 2, but expect more upbeat, adventure-ready earworms to get you in the dungeon-diving mood.
