Fans of the popular anime series Jujutsu Kaisen have an opportunity to watch the highly anticipated season 3 earlier than expected, though U.S. viewers may feel left out due to the staggered release schedule. The upcoming compilation film, titled Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, will screen in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2025, just a week after its premiere in Japan. This early screening precedes the U.S. release on December 5, 2025, prompting some American fans to consider traveling abroad for an early glimpse at the Culling Game arc.
The film is part of a broader trend in anime, combining a recap of key events with new content. Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution will feature the first half as a summary of the Shibuya Incident, while the latter half will include two episodes from season 3, giving fans a sneak peek months before the official release in January 2026.
International Release Dates and Locations
Following the U.K. premiere, the film will be available in several other countries: Mexico on November 20, Germany on November 25, and Australia on December 4. This staggered release means that U.S. fans will have to wait significantly longer than their international counterparts.
The third season promises to adapt the Culling Game arc from the original manga, which introduces a battle royale scenario involving various sorcerers drawn into a deadly conflict. The narrative focuses on the series protagonist, Yuji, and his conflict with his would-be executioner, Yuta.
Exciting Times for Anime Enthusiasts

The Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle film continues to shatter box office records, and the Chainsaw Man movie is set for release this month. Furthermore, the upcoming winter 2026 season will feature several highly awaited titles, including Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End season 2, Fire Force season 3, and, of course, the return of Jujutsu Kaisen.
For those eager to stay updated, a complete guide to new anime releases in 2025 and 2026 is available, providing fans with all the information they need to navigate this vibrant landscape of animated storytelling.
