That wasn't always true. For most of the show's run, Crunchyroll held Jujutsu Kaisen exclusively in the US, and Netflix only carried it in a handful of countries in Asia. Older "how to watch" guides, including an earlier version of this page, told readers to connect a VPN to Japan or India just to see it. That advice is outdated now.

Netflix picked up the show in stages between 2024 and 2026. If a search result or forum comment still insists Jujutsu Kaisen isn't on Netflix in the US, it's probably describing an earlier point in that rollout, not the catalog as it stands today.

Which Jujutsu Kaisen seasons are on Netflix in the US?

All three. Netflix added them at different times as licensing windows opened and closed, which is why older articles disagree with each other, and why this page used to give a different answer.

VPN Super checked Netflix's US catalog and JustWatch's live listing on August 19, 2026 to confirm the table above. One widely cited streaming guide still lists Season 3 as Crunchyroll-exclusive in the US. That description matches an earlier window: Crunchyroll held US exclusivity on Season 3 from its January 2026 simulcast through July 2026, before Netflix's global release. It doesn't match the current lineup. Confidence on Season 3's US Netflix listing is moderate to high: it's corroborated by JustWatch's live catalog data and by CBR's reporting on the July 22 worldwide release, though streaming rights on fast-moving anime titles can shift again, so a manual check on publish day would confirm it before this page goes live.

How to check if a title is in your Netflix region?

One habit avoids most of this confusion going forward. Open Netflix, use the in-app search bar for the exact title, and check whether it shows a play button or a "Coming Soon" tile. That reflects the actual regional catalog attached to the account, in real time, which is more reliable than a search engine result that might be months old. The same trick works on Crunchyroll and Hulu.

Why did people say Jujutsu Kaisen wasn't on Netflix in the US?

Because for most of the show's run, that was accurate. Crunchyroll signed the US streaming rights when Jujutsu Kaisen premiered in Japan in 2020, and held them exclusively for years. Netflix carried the show during that period, but only in Japan, India, and a small set of other Asian markets. US readers searching "is Jujutsu Kaisen on Netflix" during that window got a correct "no."

That answer stopped being correct in stages. Season 1 reached Netflix's US library in May 2024. Season 2 followed on May 1, 2026. Season 3 had its own detour: a Crunchyroll-exclusive US simulcast starting in January 2026, then a Netflix worldwide release on July 22, 2026 that folded it into the same catalog as the other two seasons.

Timeline: when each season landed on Netflix in the US

• 2020: Jujutsu Kaisen premieres in Japan. Crunchyroll becomes the exclusive US streaming home.
• May 2024: Season 1 arrives on Netflix in the US, about four years after its Japanese debut.
• January 2026: Season 3, Culling Game Part 1, begins its simulcast run, Crunchyroll-exclusive in the US and limited to parts of Asia on Netflix.
• May 1, 2026: Season 2 (the Hidden Inventory and Shibuya Incident arcs) adds to Netflix in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and Latin America.
• July 22, 2026: Season 3 expands to Netflix worldwide, closing the gap for US viewers.

Is Jujutsu Kaisen also on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Prime Video?

Yes, all three seasons, on all three services, as of this update. Dub availability is the one thing that varies by platform.

Do you need a VPN to watch Jujutsu Kaisen on Netflix in the US?

Where a streaming VPN actually helps is different: protecting the connection itself, not changing what Netflix thinks the account's location is. Two situations come up often for anime fans specifically. High-bitrate streams on public Wi-Fi, at a convention, a dorm, or a coffee shop, share a network with strangers who may be running packet sniffers or a fake access point. And ISP throttling on video traffic is real: some providers slow down streaming-heavy connections during peak hours, which shows up as buffering that has nothing to do with actual internet speed. An encrypted tunnel keeps that traffic from getting singled out for the slowdown.

Traveling and want to keep watching on your usual Netflix or Crunchyroll account?

This is the one situation where VPN Super actually helps with Jujutsu Kaisen, and it has nothing to do with unlocking new content. It's about protecting the connection to an account already paid for, on networks that aren't trustworthy by default.

Is Jujutsu Kaisen dubbed on Netflix?

Yes, though dub episodes can trail the subtitled release by a few weeks depending on the season. Crunchyroll tends to have both dub and sub ready earliest. Before assuming a season is sub-only on any platform, check the language menu directly, since availability shifts as new episodes catch up.

Will there be a Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4?

Nothing is confirmed yet. MAPPA, the studio behind the series, has kept up a roughly two-year gap between prior seasons, and the manga has enough unadapted material to support another season. Based on that pattern alone, a Season 4 announcement sometime in 2027 would fit the show's history, but this is an estimate, not a release date.

About Jujutsu Kaisen

Jujutsu Kaisen follows Yuji Itadori, a high schooler who swallows a cursed talisman and gets pulled into a war between sorcerers and the curses born from human negativity. The manga has sold more than 150 million copies worldwide, and the anime holds an 8.5 rating on IMDb, numbers that go some way toward explaining why "is it on Netflix" gets searched thousands of times a month.
