Delicious in Dungeon Season 2: Release date hints, returning cast and what's next for Laios and the gang
Alright, fellow Delicious in Dungeon fans, let's talk about the mouthwatering sequel we're all craving! Season 1 of Dungeon Meshi served up a perfect mix of fantasy, laughs, and monster recipes that left us starving for more. Studio Trigger's already teased Season 2, so let's dig into the latest rumors about its release, who's returning, and what adventures await Laios and his crew. Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 Potential Release Date
So, when's Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 hitting our screens? As of July 2025, Studio Trigger's keeping the exact date under wraps, but we've got some juicy hints. Season 1 ran from January to June 2024, wrapping up 24 episodes with a bang. Right after, a teaser trailer dropped, and by August 2024, the official Dungeon Meshi X account confirmed production was in full swing. That's a good sign they're not slacking!
Anime sequels usually take a year or two, so fans are buzzing about a release sometime between summer 2025 and early 2026. Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 Expected Cast
The voice cast made Season 1 unforgettable, and I'd bet my last slice of dragon steak they're all coming back. No official word yet, but the quick renewal suggests the gang's sticking together. Here's who I'm hyped to hear again: Laios : Kentarō Kumagai (Japanese) / Damien Haas (English) – Our monster-obsessed chef leading the charge.

: Mitsuho Kambe (Japanese) / Laura Stahl (English) – The cat-girl ninja with zero chill. Falin: Saori Hayami (Japanese) / Lisa Reimold (English) – Laios' sister, the heart of the quest.
New faces, like the creepy Canaries or the mysterious Winged Lion, might bring fresh voices to the mix. I'm dying to know if the narrator (Satoshi Mikami) is secretly the Lion—how wild would that be? Damien Haas has been hyping Season 2 on X, so the English cast seems pumped to return, too. What's Next for the Touden Party?
Season 2 picks up after the Red Dragon fight, diving into the manga's second half (Chapter 53 onward). With 45 chapters left, this could be the final course, covering arcs like the First Floor Interlude, Lunatic Magician's House, and the epic Winged Lion Arc. Here's what's on the menu: Wilder Recipes : The gang ventures deeper, cooking up crazier monsters. Think dishes that make Season 1's mandrake soup look tame.

If Season 2 keeps Season 1's pace, 24 episodes could wrap the story. But Trigger might split it into two 12-episode chunks, so we'll see.

The Couple That Survived Four Months Floating in the Ocean Together
In the late 1960s, Maurice and Maralyn Bailey sold their house in Derby, in Central England, and commissioned a 31-foot-long sailboat, the Auralyn. Seeking an escape from their boring lives and the dreary English weather, they planned to sail around the world. To 'preserve their freedom from outside interference,' as Maurice put it, they did not bring a radio transmitter aboard. Nine months after departing from the south of England in 1972, they made it through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific when a whale struck their boat, sinking it. A new book, A Marriage at Sea, tells the tale of what happened next: The Baileys transferred themselves, 33 tins of food, and some cookies and Coffee-Mate into an inflatable life raft and dinghy, each barely the size of a stretched-out adult. They hoped for a ship to sail by and spot them. For nearly four months, they floated around, filling their time by catching rainwater and turtles—first as pets, then as food. Together, they clung to life as starvation and illness set in. Somehow, they survived. And they stayed married. And they went on another months-long sailing trip together. The Baileys' experience was, as the book's author, Sophie Elmhirst, put it to me, 'hopefully completely unrelatable for most people.' It is not, of course, a marriage-advice book. But perhaps its story can offer lessons about marriage. The Baileys' seafaring appeared to be a type of 'shared meaning' that relationship experts say can glue couples together. Their mission almost killed them, corporeally, but it also seems to have helped their marriage survive. And although most couples would not want to re-create the Baileys' experience, they can experiment with shared-meaning making in other—perhaps drier—ways. The two Baileys were strikingly different. Maurice, who had a troubled childhood marked by illness and emotional neglect, was negative and socially ill at ease. Maralyn, meanwhile, was 'as socially able as he wasn't,' Elmhirst told me, as well as confident and enterprising. They met at a car rally where Maralyn was driving a Vauxhall Cresta with a particular level of 'chutzpah,' as Elmhirst writes. Maralyn suggested living aboard the sailboat even though she didn't know how to swim. 'She just had that gung-ho quality,' Elmhirst said. As I read the book, I could not understand what Maurice offered Maralyn. Why had she married someone so difficult, with so many cockamamie schemes? I asked Elmhirst for her theory, and she speculated that in an era of deep social conformity, Maralyn found liberation in Maurice's atheism, his desire not to have children, and, well, the whole boat thing. They both loved adventure, and both had a sort of British chin-up mentality that can be useful when soldiering on through something horrible. What Maralyn offered Maurice, though, was clear. Adrift at sea, Maurice started to give up hope quickly, and Maralyn seemed to view spurring him on as a kind of second project, alongside engineering their survival. She made dominoes from strips of paper; when four gallons of drinkable water drifted away, she tried to raise his spirits by opening their last tin of rice pudding in honor of her birthday. She would assure him that they were meant to survive. They did argue, Elmhirst writes, but after a fight ended, they would 'unpick it, see why they had snapped or become intolerant, and apologise.' Later, Maralyn would claim to reporters that they hadn't argued at all. On the raft, the Baileys discussed the next boat trip they would take as soon as they were rescued. During long days without food or water, they'd fantasize about the provisions for the new boat, the design of the new boat, and where they'd sail it—Patagonia, they figured. This second boat trip was, in some ways, crucial to getting them through that first, ill-fated one. Maralyn's strategy for keeping Maurice going was to fixate on a future, one that contained a second, successful sailing mission. The Baileys' near-death experience became their shared meaning—a way of defining 'this is who we are; this is what we do,' says Carrie Cole, the research director of the Gottman Institute, which focuses on couples' counseling. It solidified the relationship and, in all likelihood, made it last. 'A lot of times when people go through some ordeal like that and they survive it together, it really can connect to them,' Cole told me. 'Nobody else has experienced what they have. It's like they have this deep sense of feeling known and understood.' She notes, though, that most people cultivate this shared meaning in less dangerous ways, such as through volunteering or hiking. Another possible takeaway from this unusual duo, Elmhirst speculated, is that perhaps the Baileys show that, on some level, we all need someone to love. Maurice needed Maralyn to prop him up, and Maralyn needed someone to prop up. In the interviews the pair gave in the years after their rescue, 'he'd make this point again and again that, if it hadn't been for her, he'd never have lived,' Elmhirst said. Perhaps he wouldn't have survived without her even on dry land: Maralyn, Elmhirst said, 'translated him for the world.' Maybe, she added, 'there is something in us that is designed or works well in tandem with someone else.' In the book, Elmhirst asks, 'For what else is a marriage, really, if not being stuck on a small raft with someone and trying to survive?' Throughout all the dramas of daily life—the fender bender, the sleep regression, the surprise layoff—partners can start to feel trapped with each other. Maybe that's not the worst thing.

Japanese pop idol Kenshin Kamimura convicted of indecent assault but avoids jail in Hong Kong
HONG KONG (AP) — Japanese pop idol Kenshin Kamimura was found guilty of a charge of indecent assault on a female interpreter in a Hong Kong court Wednesday before some emotional fans. Kamimura, a former member of a Japanese boy group named ONE N' ONLY, was arrested in the southern Chinese city in March. In the same month, his contract was terminated due to a serious compliance violation. In April, he pleaded not guilty. He allegedly touched the interpreter's thigh repeatedly during a celebratory dinner at a restaurant. During the trial last month, the interpreter testified through a live video link that Kamimura had invited her to a bathroom elsewhere. After she dismissed the request and told him she had a boyfriend, Kamimura continued to touch her thigh, she said. The defense argued the interpreter exaggerated her claims and the alleged bathroom invitation might not have been based on improper motives. Judge Peter Yu handed down the conviction Wednesday, saying Kamimura touched the intrepreter in a caressing nature that implicitly carried a sexual undertone and had indecent intent. After the verdict was announced, a few of Kamimura's fans wept in the courtroom. But Kamimura looked relieved when the judge issued a fine of 15,000 Hong Kong dollars (about $1,900) and no prison term. The maximum penalty for the charge is 10 years of imprisonment. The singer's supporters, including some from Japan and mainland China, formed long lines inside the court building to secure a seat in the main courtroom before the hearing. Others from mainland China who attended said they were not fans but wanted to learn more about the case, especially after seeing criticism of the female interpreter online. University student Betty Zhong from the Chinese city of Shenzhen said she was not a Kamimura fan but had attending the court hearings in Hong Kong because a friend likes the J-pop idol and she wanted to know what happened. She said she was surprised Kamimura was charged during a visit to Hong Kong. 'News reports are not so comprehensive. When I come here, I can understand it holistically and the explainations from both sides,' she said. Kamimura also is an actor who appeared in several TV dramas including the boys' love series 'Our Youth' and the popular drama 'Ossan's Love Returns.'

Netflix has racked up 20 No. 1 shows in 2025 (so far) — here are the 5 you shouldn't miss
Netflix has already brought us a ton of new movies and shows throughout 2025, and there are still some major releases waiting in the wings ("Stranger Things" season 5, anyone?) Having a steady stream of new releases is a big plus, obviously, but it can also mean keeping up with what's on Netflix — and all the best streaming services, for that matter — a tall order. And I say that as someone whose job is literally to keep up with what's happening in the world of entertainment. With that in mind, I've been keeping a close eye on the shows that have risen to the top throughout 2025 and put together a shortlist of shows I think viewers ought not to miss. If you read my last round-up of must-see Netflix No. 1 shows, feel free to skip ahead to my picks. Otherwise, I'll just quickly explain how I made my decisions. I checked what the No. 1 show on Netflix U.S. was every single week (via Netflix's handy Top 10 list on Tudum) from the start of the year through to August 3 (the latest published data set) and built up a list of 19 initial shows. After noting them down, and adding in an extra by checking Netflix's homepage each day for the past week (to bring us up to an even 20), I whittled that shortlist down to 5 choices. Because Netflix only shares weekly data in this way, some top watches didn't quite fit the criteria: sorry, "Dept. Q.". Nevertheless, with that explanation out of the way, here's my top five Netflix No. 1 shows of 2025 (so far). 'Adolescence' has been on my list already, and I'm not getting rid of it this time out, either. It had a massive impact upon release, and I'm confident it's going to be remembered as one of 2025's must-see projects. This powerful, four-part limited series sees 'Boiling Point' star Stephen Graham and creator Philip Barantini reuniting to tell the story of a fictional family whose world is turned upside down when their 13-year-old son, Jamie (Owen Cooper), is arrested for the murder of a fellow pupil. Since its release, 'Adolescence' has become the No. 2 Most Popular English-language TV show (second only to 'Wednesday') and has sparked conversations about young people, healthy relationships and online radicalization. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Adolescence' isn't just worthy of a mention owing to its wider impact: it's also an expertly crafted drama, and one that you should make time for if you haven't already. Watch "Adolescence" on Netflix now "Sirens" may not have won critics over quite as much as Molly Smith Metzler's previous Netflix series, "Maid," did, but this dark comedy-drama was a winning watch for me. Across five episodes, we follow concerned sister Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy) as she embarks on a quest to check in on her younger sister, Simone (Milly Alcock). Simone's been sucked into the orbit of wellness guru and wealthy socialite, Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore), waiting on Mrs. Kell as her devoted live-in assistant. Devon shows up at Michaela's lavish estate — unannounced — and tries to stage her intervention across the Labor Day weekend... where she's thrust into the Kells' cultish world and discovers that her sister's boss is a formidable opponent. It's an emotional, darkly funny miniseries that will have you hooked as new secrets come to light. Watch "Sirens" on Netflix now It's important to me that this list has some variety on it, so I wanted to keep a proper comedy on my list. With that in mind, I'm still recommending "The Four Seasons" as one of the best Netflix originals I've streamed this year. This hilarious, eight-part series comes from Tina Fey, Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield and follows a group of friends, charting how their dynamic shifts when one of the couples in the mix decides to call it quits. It's a gentle, warm comedy that should make for some easy viewing. Watch "The Four Seasons" on Netflix now If you love compelling, character-driven mystery thrillers, then "Untamed" deserves to be on your radar. Released last month, "Untamed" is the latest project from Mark L. Smith ("American Primeval") and Elle Smith ("The Marsh King's Daughter") that whisks us off to the beautiful environs of Yosemite National Park. There, Investigative Services Branch Agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) is on the trail of a killer. Naturally, that investigation sees him stumbling on some dark secrets lurking within the wilder parts of the park. It's a suspenseful six-episode series that many of us at TG enjoyed (fellow writer Alix Blackburn also recommended "Untamed" earlier in the year), and one that belongs on your watchlist if it wasn't already. Watch "Untamed" on Netflix now "Wednesday" is the exception to the rule that I mentioned above. While (at the time of writing), Netflix hadn't published its weekly data for Aug. 4 - 11, every time I've looked at the Netflix homepage since the series launched last week, Wednesday Addams was staring right back at me from the top of Netflix's charts. And seeing as the first season is Netflix's most-watched series of all time... I think it's a sure bet that season 2 will come out on top. If not, I'll replace Wednesday with another choice entirely once the data's live. Regardless, even though we've only gotten half of the new season, I'm already all-in on "Wednesday" all over again. The production design is just as impressive, the mystery's got me hooked, and Jenna Ortega's proven every bit as engaging in the title role. It's just devilishly fun stuff. I can't wait to see what's still in store when the remaining episodes drop, and I feel confident it'll still be one of my favorite Netflix shows of the year going forward. Watch "Wednesday" on Netflix now Below, you can find the full list of the 20 Netflix shows that have been a No. 1 series at some point in the year, based on Netflix's weekly data (listed alphabetically).
