Kakegurui seasons
The Kakegurui anime has two TV seasons with 24 episodes in total, both made by studio MAPPA and directed by Yuichiro Hayashi. The first aired in Japan in 2017 and the second, titled Kakegurui ××, in 2019, with Kiyoshi Matsuda as co-director. Outside Japan both seasons stream on Netflix. In 2022 Netflix also released Kakegurui Twin, a 6-episode spin-off from MAPPA. The original manga by Homura Kawamoto and Tōru Naomura is still running and reached 22 volumes in September 2026, so the anime has plenty of unadapted material.
| Season | Premiere | End | Episodes | Studio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | July 1, 2017 | September 23, 2017 | 12 | MAPPA |
| Season 2 (Kakegurui ××) | January 8, 2019 | March 26, 2019 | 12 | MAPPA |
| Kakegurui Twin (spin-off) | August 4, 2022 | August 4, 2022 | 6 | MAPPA |
Season 1
Season 1 introduces Hyakkaou and its gambling-based hierarchy. Yumeko transfers in, faces Mary, and then crosses paths with student council members one at a time, each with a game of their own. It ran for 12 episodes in Japan from July 1 to September 23, 2017, produced by MAPPA.
Season 2 (Kakegurui ××)
Kakegurui ×× picks up right after the first season. The president announces an election for the council, and the Momobami clan arrives with heirs from several families, all chasing votes through new games. It ran for 12 episodes in Japan from January 8 to March 26, 2019, again from MAPPA.
Kakegurui Twin (spin-off)
Kakegurui Twin is a spin-off set one year before Yumeko arrives. It follows Mary Saotome as a new transfer student learning how the school's gambling ladder works. Produced by MAPPA, its 6 episodes were released together on Netflix worldwide on August 4, 2022.
Next season Not announced yet
As of October 2026, no third season of Kakegurui has been announced. The last TV season, Kakegurui ××, ended in March 2019, and the most recent anime release was the Kakegurui Twin spin-off in August 2022. A continuation would need a renewal from MAPPA or Netflix, and neither has confirmed one. Source material is not the problem: the manga is still being published and has 22 volumes. This page will be updated with the date and source as soon as an official announcement appears.
FAQ
How many seasons of Kakegurui are there?
There are two TV seasons: Kakegurui (2017) and Kakegurui ×× (2019), each with 12 episodes. There is also the spin-off Kakegurui Twin (2022), a 6-episode series centred on Mary Saotome.
Will there be a Kakegurui season 3?
Nothing has been announced as of October 2026. Neither MAPPA nor Netflix has confirmed a third season, although the manga is still running and has enough story left for more episodes.
How many episodes does Kakegurui have?
The two main seasons add up to 24 episodes. Counting the Kakegurui Twin spin-off, the anime has 30 episodes in total, all available on Netflix outside Japan.
What order should I watch Kakegurui in?
Watch season 1, then Kakegurui ××. Kakegurui Twin is set a year before the main story, but it works best after both seasons because it assumes you already know the school and its cast.
Is Kakegurui finished?
The anime has had no new TV season since 2019, but the story is not over. The manga by Homura Kawamoto and Tōru Naomura began in 2014 in Gangan Joker and was still running in 2026, with 22 volumes.
