As soon as the first season ended, we knew that Dan Da Dan season two was on the way. Now, we’re in the midst of the second season of the hit anime for Crunchyroll and Netflix, which is adapting the Evil Eye arc from the manga. Believe us when we say that this season is going to be a spectacle of the highest order, so you won’t want to miss the next episode of Dan Da Dan season two.

Even in a medium that embraces weirdness, Dan Da Dan stands out as a strange show. It is about a young girl with psychic powers who doesn’t believe in aliens and a young boy possessed by a demon who doesn’t believe in the occult. There is romance. There is action. There is a talking evil cat. What more could you want? New episodes of Dan Da Dan season two land every Thursday on Crunchyroll and Netflix

• Next episode season 2 episode 3 – “You Won't Get Away with This!” – July 17, 2025 at 11 am EST/ 8 am PST/ 4 pm BST

We expect the second season to follow the original Dan Da Dan manga, which means it will adapt the Evil Eye arc, which is generally considered a highlight of the story so far. The manga is currently ongoing, so we don’t know exactly how it will end, but season two of Dan Da Dan will contain some great moments that we can’t wait to see on our screens.

Dan Da Dan season two is coming to Crunchyroll and Netflix for explosive new episodes starting on July 3, 2025, with new episodes coming on Thursdays after that.
