The next dungeon trip is taking shape, and this update puts more familiar faces on the board. Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 has revealed character designs for Falin, Kabru, Mithrun and Thistle, alongside confirmation that their voice actors will return.
The designs were shared through the anime’s official social media, according to ComicBook Anime. They follow an earlier reveal featuring the main adventuring party, giving us another look at the visual direction for the upcoming season.
The important distinction: this is a character-design update, not a new trailer or an exact premiere announcement.
Four more returning characters confirmed
The latest batch pairs each newly revealed design with a returning performer:
- Falin: Saori Hayami
- Kabru: Wataru Kato
- Mithrun: Koki Uchiyama
- Thistle: Yu Kobayashi
ComicBook Anime describes the revised designs as moving closer to the artwork in Ryoko Kui’s original manga. That makes this more than a roll call: it is also another indication of how the adaptation’s character art is being adjusted for Season 2.
Our take: closer alignment with the manga is an interesting direction, but still images only tell part of the story. How those designs translate into expressions, movement and action will be easier to judge once footage arrives. A design reveal alone is not enough to call the animation an upgrade.
When is Season 2 coming?
According to ComicBook Anime, Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 is targeting October 2027 on Netflix. A specific premiere date has not been announced in the supplied report.
For Malaysian and SEA readers keeping a watchlist, the useful detail is that month-and-year target—not a confirmed day to clear your evening. The report does not provide a Malaysia-specific release schedule or regional availability details, so those should not be assumed from the broader Netflix release information.
The first season consists of 24 episodes. ComicBook Anime says those episodes brought the adaptation roughly to the midpoint of the manga, leaving a substantial stretch of the story still to cover.
Could Season 2 finish the adaptation? The report raises that possibility, but a final-season designation is not confirmed. There is also no Season 2 episode count in the supplied material, so treating the remaining story as a guaranteed single-season package would be getting ahead of the announcement.
The main party and production team are back
The latest cast confirmations join previously announced returnees Kentaro Kumagai as Laios, Sayaka Sembongi as Marcille, Asuna Tomari as Chilchuck, Hiroshi Naka as Senshi and Mitsuho Kambe as Izutsumi.
Behind the scenes, Studio Trigger remains on production, with Yoshihiro Miyajima returning as director. Kimiko Ueno is back as story editor, Yasunori Mitsuda handles the music, and Naoki Takeda provides the character designs.
Why it matters: for anyone deciding whether to follow the next season, continuity across both the cast and production staff is a more concrete signal than promises of bigger spectacle. The returning team and evolving designs are confirmed details; the finished season’s quality still has to prove itself.
For now, the update gives fans something specific to examine while the wait continues: four more returning characters, their revised appearances, and a steadily expanding confirmed cast. Keep October 2027 pencilled in, but leave room for the exact release announcement.
