Delicious in Dungeon Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and plot details
If you've been missing Laios and his party's monster-cooking madness, you're definitely not alone. Delicious in Dungeon —or Dungeon Meshi for the purists—was one of 2024's surprise anime gems, serving up a wild blend of fantasy, humor, and oddly appetizing monster meals. And now, with Season 2 officially in the works, fans are hungry for every little scrap of info they can get.
So when's it coming? Who's returning? And what's next for our favorite dungeon explorers? Let's dig into everything we know so far—rumors, facts, and fan theories included. Release Date Rumors: When Will Season 2 Hit Screens?
Right now, there's no official date—but we've got some decent clues to go off.
Season 1 aired from January to June 2024, delivering 24 episodes and ending with a cliffhanger that had fans practically banging their forks on the table for more. Right after the finale, Studio Trigger dropped a teaser confirming Season 2 was in production. Then, in August 2024, the official Dungeon Meshi X (formerly Twitter) account confirmed that things were indeed moving forward.
If you're hoping for a 2025 release, well… that might be a stretch. Anime production—especially of this quality—takes time, and a 2026 release window feels like a safer bet. Cast Updates: Who's Back for the Feast?
Let's be real—the voice cast played a huge role in why Season 1 worked so well. From Laios' unshakable optimism to Senshi's deadpan food wisdom, these characters felt alive because the voices behind them nailed it.
Here's who's likely to return for Season 2 (though nothing's officially confirmed yet): Kentarō Kumagai as Laios, the dungeon-diving foodie with a soft spot for monsters.
Sayaka Senbongi as Marcille, the overdramatic mage with both magic and sass.
Hiroshi Naka as Senshi, the stoic dwarf chef with serious culinary chops.
Asuna Tomari as Chilchuck, the party's dry-witted locksmith.
Mitsuho Kambe as Izutsumi, the mysterious beastwoman who showed up late in the game.
Rina Hidaka as Falin, Laios' sister and the heart of the group's mission.
On the English dub side, Damien Haas (Laios) basically confirmed his return by sharing the Season 2 announcement, so it's safe to assume the dub cast is coming back too.
We'll also likely meet some new faces, like the Canaries—the elf government's secret police. Expect some fresh voices to stir things up. What to Expect from Season 2's Story
Season 1 adapted around 52 chapters of the manga (which has 97 in total), ending right as the story was getting seriously intense. If you thought things were wild before… just wait.
Here's a taste of what's coming:
Bigger, Badder Monsters: The party will go even deeper into the dungeon, facing tougher enemies—and finding new ways to cook them up. Remember mandrake soup? That was the easy stuff.
The Canaries Arrive: These elf investigators will bring political drama, tension, and maybe some new alliances or betrayals.
The Lunatic Magician and Winged Lion: Yep, the big bads are about to take center stage. Expect some heavy lore drops and explosive fights.
Backstories and Emotions: We'll learn more about Marcille, Falin, and even Chilchuck. It won't just be laughs and lunch—get ready for some emotional gut punches.
Ancient Secrets and Dungeon Origins: The show will finally start peeling back the layers of what the dungeon really is—and why it's so dangerous (and weirdly tasty).
If Season 2 follows the same pace as the first, it could very well wrap up the rest of the manga in 24 more episodes. Whether it's one long season or split into two parts again, there's definitely enough story left to go out with a bang.
