Best Legal Options for Delicious in Dungeon
1. Netflix — The Only Streaming Option
As a Netflix original production, Delicious in Dungeon is exclusive to the platform. The full 24-episode Season 1 is available in Japanese with subtitles and in English dub, along with dubs in several other languages. Netflix plans start at around $7/month for the Standard with Ads tier in the US, going up to $22.99/month for the Premium plan.
Why Only Netflix?
Delicious in Dungeon is a Netflix original anime — meaning Netflix co-produced and exclusively licensed it for global streaming. This is different from most anime, which license independently to multiple platforms. There are no confirmed options on Crunchyroll, Hulu, Prime Video, or any purchase storefront as of May 2026. The Crunchyroll manga app launched a Delicious in Dungeon manga reader in October 2025, but this does not affect the anime’s exclusive Netflix home.
Season 2 Update
Netflix has confirmed Season 2 is in production, with Studio Trigger returning for the new season. Production was reported to have begun in late 2024. A release date has not yet been announced. Season 2 is expected to remain on Netflix.
Delicious in Dungeon is confirmed on Netflix in the United States and available globally. If you’re traveling and find your local Netflix library doesn’t include it, connecting to a US server with NordVPN can help you access your account and the US library.
