Season two of Jujutsu Kaisen just wrapped up today, finishing off the Shibuya Incident arc. But fans will be glad to know that the anime will continue with a sequel! A trailer has already been posted to tease the upcoming adaptation of the Culling Game arc (a.k.a. Shimetsu Kaiy? in Japanese).

After that came the movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which was released in late 2021.
Then season two got going this past summer. The first part debuted in July and lasted until August. This covered the “Hidden Inventory / Premature Death” arc (a.k.a. “Kaigyoku/Gyokusetsu” in Japanese). The second part or cours of the second season launched on August 31, and that’s when we get into the Shibuya Incident arc.
Crunchyroll has been streaming the series as it comes out, and additionally supplying an English dub for it.
VIZ Media publishes the original manga in English and gave this description for the first volume:

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…
