HIDIVE to Premiere Hell Mode Season 2 and The Forsaken Saintess English Dubs at Anime Expo 2026
HIDIVE makes a big splash at this year's Anime Expo 2026 with two major world premieres. During the event taking place July 2-5 in Los Angeles, the first English-dubbed episode of Hell Mode Season 2 and a dubbed screening of The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Road Trip anime will be held. With this move, the platform aims to appeal to both isekai fans and viewers interested in fantasy food-themed productions.
Hell Mode is a popular isekai adapted from Hamuo's light novel series of the same name. The first season aired in 2024, and the story follows Allen, a game enthusiast reborn as a child of a noble family in another world, using his game knowledge to survive a harsh struggle. The second season will continue from the thrilling point where the first season left off, and HIDIVE's world premiere at the event will give fans the opportunity to watch the new episodes in English dub for the first time.
The other premiere is The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Road Trip. This manga adaptation follows an abandoned saintess on a food-filled journey. Set in a fantasy world, the story highlights food culture and friendship. HIDIVE's dub premiere is an unmissable opportunity for those who haven't watched the anime yet. The event will also feature other new announcements and special panels from HIDIVE.
This announcement showcases HIDIVE's growing anime catalog and its investments in English dubs in particular. Anime Expo, as every year, serves as a showcase for studios and platforms worldwide. The world premiere of Hell Mode Season 2 is a big source of excitement for the English-speaking fanbase of the series, while The Forsaken Saintess aims to attract a new audience of food-themed anime lovers to HIDIVE. After the event, full seasons of both productions will begin streaming on the platform.
