After almost four years of silence, the official website of the series finally revealed that Dorohedoro Season 2 is in production, along with a new key visual featuring the main characters Kaiman and Nikaido.
Dorohedoro is based on the manga series of the same name by Q Hayashida, which ran from 2000 to 2018 and spanned 23 volumes. The story follows Kaiman, a man with a lizard head who suffers from amnesia and seeks to find the sorcerer who cursed him.
He is accompanied by Nikaido, his friend and owner of a gyoza restaurant, who helps him fight against the sorcerers who use their magic to oppress and exploit the humans living in the Hole, a grimy and chaotic city.
The first season of Dorohedoro, which adapted the first seven volumes of the manga, was produced by Studio MAPPA and directed by Yuichiro Hayashi.
