Made in Abyss: Mezameru Shinpi Part 2

This entry is the next movie in a new film series that carries on the Made in Abyss story. The series is called Awakening Mystery in English. It was first announced in August 2025. Instead of making a third TV season, the creators chose to tell the next chapter on the big screen, one film at a time. The first film opened in Japanese theaters on October 23, 2026. Around the same time, news reports said a follow-up film was already being made. This page is for that follow-up.

Made in Abyss comes from a manga by Akihito Tsukushi that began in 2012. It is set around a huge hole in the earth, called the Abyss. The hole is full of strange creatures and very old objects from lost peoples. Anyone who climbs back up out of the deep feels a terrible sickness, a curse that grows stronger the lower you go. A brave girl named Riko and a robot boy named Reg go down into this hole to look for Riko's lost mother. Later, they are joined by Nanachi, a gentle, rabbit-like creature who was once human. In the last TV season, they also met Faputa, a fierce and powerful girl.

The first film picks up right where the 2022 TV season, The Golden City of the Scorching Sun, ended. News reports say the new story deals with the friends leaving the sixth layer and pushing on toward the seventh. This new movie should keep following that path. The full plot has not been shared yet, so we will not guess at what happens. Fans of the manga can expect the same mix of wonder, danger, and heavy feelings that the show is known for.

The team behind the first film includes director Masayuki Kojima and writer Hideyuki Kurata, the same pair who led the TV seasons. The studio is Kinema Citrus, with character designs credited to Yuka Kuroda and Kazuchika Kise. In the first film, Miyu Tomita voices Riko, Mariya Ise voices Reg, Shiori Izawa voices Nanachi, and Misaki Kuno voices Faputa. Full staff and cast details for this newer film had not been confirmed at the time of writing.

Like everything in this series, it is likely not a story for young children. The earlier seasons have very violent and sad scenes, even though the heroes are kids. Viewers who are new to the series should begin with the first TV season from 2017, then watch the movie Dawn of the Deep Soul, the 2022 season, and the first Awakening Mystery film before this one.
