Picture: Dan Da Dan – Science SARU
After a successful first season, fans are already looking forward to the return of Dan Da Dan. The wait won’t be long, as the second season has been confirmed to return to Netflix in July 2025.
Dan Da Dan is an internationally licensed Japanese anime series from the animation studio Science Saru, and the adaptation of the manga of the same name by author Yukinobu Tatsu. Netflix acquired the first season in October 2024, and the series became one of Netflix’s biggest anime successes. The series spent 12 weeks in the weekly global top 10, accumulating 34.10 million views over that period. Per the Netflix Engagement Reports, it was the 38th most-watched series for the second half of 2024.
The series is centered on two high school students, Momo and Okarun. Momo, who believes in ghosts, and Okarun, who believes in aliens, each denies the existence of the other, that is until one fateful night on a dare when Okarun has a run-in with a malicious spirit and Momo with over-inquisitive aliens, the pair find themselves stepping into the world of the paranormal and supernatural.
When is Dan Da Dan season 2 coming to Netflix?
We have confirmation that Dan Da Dan will return to Netflix with brand new weekly episodes from July 3.
How much of the manga has the anime covered so far?
In twelve episodes, Dan Da Dan covers 32 of the 176 published manga chapters and concludes 5 chapters into the Cursed House Arc.
Picture: Manga Volumes 4-6 cover the majority of the Curse House Arc. To keep things spoiler free we’ve brushed a spoiler from the cover of Volume 6.
There are 17 chapters left for the anime to cover from the Curse House Arc. The next arc in the series, “Evil Eye Arc,” is 12 chapters long, which means the second season may conclude at the end of the Evil Eye Arc or at the start of the Kaiju Arc.
Will there be a third season of Dan Da Dan?
The anime has been extremely popular, and we’d be stunned if the series didn’t return for a third season. Given the number of published manga chapters, the series is likely to have at least 5 seasons if the anime studio sticks to the 12 episodes per season format.
