Season 1 of the anime debuted in 2020 and ended in early 2021 after 24 episodes. It was followed by December 2021’s Jujutsu Kaisen 0 prequel movie (based on the manga’s four-chapter predecessor). Season 2 arrived later in July 2023 and ended in December 2023, with the latter “Shibuya Incident Arc” starting a few weeks after the opening “Hidden Inventory Arc.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, a compilation film for Season 2 that also previewed the first two episodes of the current season, premiered in 2025.
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018 (its prequel was serialized in 2017)) and ended in 2024. A sequel titled Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo started in September 2025 and ended in March 2026.
Viz Media describes Jujutsu Kaisen as such:

Every sports club wants him to join, but Itadori would rather hang out with the school outcasts in the Occult Research Club. One day, the club manages to get their hands on a sealed cursed object. Little do they know the terror they’ll unleash when they break the seal…
