Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.

He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.

His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Netflix has become home to some of the biggest fantasy shows around, from The Witcher to One Piece, but one of its biggest hits is actually one of the most unorthofox shows you'll probably ever hear about. Imagine, a group of adventurers, right? So far, so good. But they spend as much time cooking their enemies as they do fighting them. Yes, this is ridiculous but it's good.

Delicious in Dungeon has turned that bizarre idea into one of the streamer's most entertaining animated series, and after two years away, fans have finally been given another look at what's coming next. The show has officially revealed new character artwork for Season 2, offering a fresh look at several familiar faces ahead of the planned October 2027 return on Netflix.

The Japanese voice cast is led by Kentarō Kumagai as Laios, Sayaka Senbongi as Marcille, Hiroshi Naka as Senshi and Asuna Tomari as Chilchuck. The series is produced by animation studio Trigger, with Yoshihiro Miyajima directing and Kimiko Ueno overseeing the scripts.

One day, in a small island village, there’s a rumbling in the earth — and a lone man surfaces from the rift that emerges in its wake. Deep below the cemetery, he claims, is his once-prosperous kingdom. His story inspires legions of fortune-seekers to strike out in search of it, battling creatures and obstacles along the way. Among them are the band of young adventurers led by the determined swordsman Laios (Kumagai).

After Laios discovers that his sister Falin (Hayami) has been eaten by the Red Dragon, he, Marcille (Senbongi), and Chilchuck (Tomari) resolve to do whatever it takes to save her before she’s been fully consumed. They’re short on time, low on cash and provisions, and they can’t afford to sell their weapons — but the fire of their empty bellies may be stronger than the fire of any dragon. As the adolescent fighters’ thought bubbles turn to visions of their next meal, the ever-pragmatic Laios has a gross but possibly genius idea: The vast dungeon where the dragon lives contains a whole ecosystem of edible roots and creatures that can sustain them.

What Will 'Delicious in Dungeon' Season 2 Be About?

The first season ended with Laios and his companions discovering that rescuing Falin was only the beginning of their problems. Although they managed to defeat the Red Dragon and bring her back to life using forbidden magic, their victory came with a terrible consequence when the mysterious Thistle transformed Falin into a terrifying half-dragon creature.

Season 2 will continue the group's journey into the deepest levels of the dungeon as they attempt to save Falin and uncover the truth about the ancient Golden Kingdom. Along the way, they'll encounter increasingly dangerous monsters, powerful magic and the mysterious Winged Lion, whose connection to the dungeon could change everything the characters thought they understood about their world.

Delicious in Dungeon Season 1 is streaming now on Netflix, with Season 2 currently scheduled to arrive in October 2027.
