Dorohedoro Season 2 Drops New Cast, Theme Song Artists, and First Promo Ahead of April 1 Global Premiere

MAPPA's second season of Dorohedoro just dropped a flood of new details, confirming additional voice cast members, announcing the artists handling the theme songs, and releasing its first promotional video. This news follows closely on the heels of the key visual reveal, setting the stage for an April 1 global premiere date.

The new promo trailer features returning leads, including Wataru Takagi as Caiman and Reina Kondo as Nikaido. Kenyu Horiuchi also joins the cast in another key role. While the chaos of the Hole is clearly visible, full details on all newly added cast members are still emerging. Performers for the theme songs were also confirmed, with their sound expected to fit MAPPA’s signature gritty aesthetic.

Yuichiro Hayashi returns to direct the series, with Tomohiro Kishi maintaining his role on character designs. The core production team remains largely intact; Hiroshi Seko is back writing scripts, and [K]NoW_NAME continues handling the music score. Minor staff shifts include Miho Sugiura taking over art direction and Itsuku Onishi handling color key duties.

This announcement locks in the broadcast schedule, moving from earlier speculation to a confirmed Wednesday, April 1, at 11 p.m. JST. This translates to 10 a.m. EDT for international streaming platforms. Fans have been waiting since the original season wrapped up its intense run through sorcerer experiments and Caiman's relentless search for his identity.

Q Hayashida’s original manga, licensed by Viz Media, provides the brutal foundation for this world. Expect the trademark twisted magic and visceral fights to return in full force when the show airs across most regions simultaneously.
