Trigger Takes the Stage at Anime Expo
The dungeon-crawling cooking anime isn't done serving up new courses. Comic Natalie reported that Studio Trigger (Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Kill la Kill) will reveal new Season 2 information during its dedicated panel at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles on July 4 at 2:00 PM local time. What exactly gets announced — a premiere date, a full trailer, additional cast — remains under wraps for now. Fans attending AX or following along online can check the convention's official site and X account for updates as they drop.
Season 2 was first confirmed back in June 2024 alongside a teaser reel featuring new cuts and freshly recorded dialogue. Since then, details have been scarce, making the Anime Expo panel the first major reveal window in over two years.
The Radio Show Returns for a Summer Special
Ahead of whatever Trigger has planned for AX, the franchise is warming up with a revival of its companion radio show. Titled Delicious in Dungeon: Dungeon Exploration Radio — 2026 Summer Dinner Party, the special streams live on July 5 at 9:00 PM JST via the KADOKAWAanime YouTube channel.
Kentarō Kumagai (Han Daewi in The God of High School), who voices party leader Laios, and Sayaka Senbongi (Mumei in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress), who voices elven mage Marcille, return as hosts. True to the show's spirit, they'll eat monster-cuisine-inspired dishes while delivering anime updates, running fan-favorite segments from the original radio run, and debuting new corners. A dedicated form is already open for listener mail.
The timing isn't accidental — the radio broadcast falls just hours after the Anime Expo panel wraps, so expect the hosts to have plenty of fresh material to discuss.
What Is Delicious in Dungeon?
For anyone still sleeping on it: Delicious in Dungeon adapts Ryoko Kui's manga of the same name, published by KADOKAWA. The series follows swordsman Laios and his party as they descend into a sprawling dungeon to rescue his sister — surviving on a tight budget by cooking and eating the very monsters they fight. It's equal parts dungeon-crawler adventure and genuine food manga, with Kui's meticulous creature designs and recipes earning the series a dedicated fanbase long before the anime arrived.
The manga ran for 14 volumes and is complete. Season 1 adapted roughly the first half across 24 episodes, with director Yoshihiro Miyajima at the helm and Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Xenoblade Chronicles) on the score.
Looking Ahead
The Studio Trigger panel at Anime Expo on July 4 is the date to circle. With two years of silence since the Season 2 announcement, a premiere window and full trailer are both realistic possibilities.
On the streaming front, Netflix holds the global license for the anime — Season 1 simulcast weekly with both Japanese audio and an English dub, and Season 2 will almost certainly follow the same model. The source manga is published in English by Yen Press, with all 14 volumes available for anyone looking to read ahead.
The radio special on July 5 streams free on YouTube, so international fans can tune in even without an Anime Expo badge — though you'll want at least some Japanese listening skills to follow along.
