A second season of the Kakegurui (Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambler) anime series was announced at the Hyakkaou Private Academy Cultural Festival special event on Saturday, hosted by video content planning and production company Avex Pictures.

Drawn by Homura Kawamoto and Tooru Naomura, Kakegurui began its serialization in Gangan Joker in March 2014. The magazine also serializes Katsura Saiki's Kakegurui Twin prequel manga and Taku Kawamura's Kakegurui (Kari) spin-off manga.

A third spin-off manga drawn by Yuuichi Hiiragi, which focuses on the character Midari Ikishima and her past, has been serialized in Manga UP! magazine since February 2017. The ninth volume of Kakegurui, the sixth volume of Saiki's prequel manga, the third volume of Kawamura's 4-koma spin-off, and the second volume of Hiiragi's Kakegurui Midari spin-off manga are all scheduled for a January 27 release.

The 12-episode television anime by animation studio MAPPA aired in Summer 2017, concluding with an anime-original story. Netflix streamed the anime series in Japan and plans to stream it outside of Japan this year.

Yen Press licensed the manga in English in 2015 and published the third compiled volume in November 2017.

A live-action TV series adaptation is set to premiere on MBS' Doramaism (Dramaism) programming block on January 14.
