Jujutsu Kaisen fans, the wait is finally getting shorter. During MAPPA’s 15th Anniversary Lineup Reveal event on 19 June 2026, the studio unveiled the first teaser trailer for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4: The Culling Game Part 2 — confirming active production and naming a brand-new director to lead it home.
What the Culling Game Part 2 Teaser Shows
The teaser is short but loaded. It previews several of the arc’s most anticipated fights — Hakari versus Kashimo picks up steam, while Yuki Tsukumo and Choso are shown holding ground against Kenjaku. Maki Zenin, Yuji Itadori, and Megumi Fushiguro press deeper into the battle royale, and there is a brief but significant glimpse of Kenjaku meeting with figures tied to the United States government — a political thread that has been quietly building through the arc.
The footage is enough to remind you exactly how high the stakes are. Part 1 set up an almost impossible board — Part 2 has to pay all of it off.
New Director at the Helm — Takeru Sato Steps Up
The biggest production news out of the announcement is the director change. Takeru Sato — who served as an assistant director on Season 3 and previously directed ZOMBIE LAND SAGA: Yumeginga Paradise — is taking over as director for Season 4. Shota Goshozono, who directed Season 2 and played a major creative role in Season 3, moves into a chief director role, staying close to the project.
Sato shared a statement at the event, as reported by Anime Corner: “I have been appointed as the director for the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4, ‘Culling Game: Part 2.’ I will devote myself fully to bringing the series’ appeal to life in animation in the best possible way.”
Having Goshozono step back into a supervisory position is a smart move — it keeps creative continuity intact while bringing in fresh energy on the execution side.
No Release Date Yet — But It Is Confirmed In Production
MAPPA has not announced a release window for Season 4. Fan speculation based on the studio’s production patterns points toward 2027, but that is not official. Given that the teaser specifically says “Season 4 in active production” (鋭意制作中), it is firmly past the announcement-only stage.
The Culling Game Part 2 will need to pay off a huge amount of narrative and character investment — so it is no surprise MAPPA is being thorough rather than rushing to air.
Where Singapore Fans Can Watch
Crunchyroll is the home of Jujutsu Kaisen in Singapore, carrying all three existing seasons as well as the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 film. Season 4 is fully expected to continue on the same platform when it lands. Check out our other anime coverage for more on what’s streaming this season.
Last words
Singapore’s anime scene runs deep on Jujutsu Kaisen — it was among the biggest titles at both AFA and local merch drops over the past two years. With Part 2 confirmed in production and a new director signalling fresh intent, the back half of the Culling Game arc is shaping up to be a major moment for the franchise. When a release date drops, we’ll have it here first.
