Is Jujutsu Kaisen anime finished or will there be a second season?
There has been no official announcement made regarding the renewal of the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen and neither about the show ending. According to HITC, Jujutsu Kaisen has not been officially renewed for the second season but it is only a matter of time before an announcement is made by MAPPA. Season 1 finale ended with the phrase "To Be Continued" appearing on the screen, indicating the story will continue in some medium and format.
Also, given that the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen is receiving great reviews from fans, it is highly likely that the show will get the green light for another season. At present Jujutsu Kaise has an IMDB rating of 8.7/10, Crunchyroll has rated it 4.8/5 and MyAmineList has rated it 8.77/10 whilst sitting at the ranked 30th best anime of all time.

There is also plenty of source material left to adapt from the original Manga. According to Monster and Critics, the first season has covered up roughly chapter 64 of Volume 8. The good news for Jujutsu Kaisen fans is that 143 chapters of the manga have been published so far. This means there is potentially enough material to adapt for another season of the series. According to HITC, MBS' Chief Programming Director Jajime Yokota recently said that they do not have any concrete information regarding Jujutsu Kaisen season 2.
