It’s finally almost time for “Jujutsu Kaisen” season 3 to premiere. And we’ve got a live countdown to help you know the exact time that episode 1 (followed by episode 2) are going to drop.
The second season ended on December 28, 2023, so fans have been waiting a little more than two years for “The Culling Games” arc to begin. And now the wait is almost over.

Season 2 of the series was immensely popular, earning the title “Most In-Demand TV Show of 2023” from Parrot Analytics. It was also the “Most In-Demand Anime Series of 2023.” It also won Crunchyroll’s Anime of the Year award thanks to its huge viewership and stunning animation. Season 3 will cover the highly anticipated culling game arc, and will no doubt rank similarly in popularity.
