The second season debuted with a television special in April 2019. Viz Media also held the master license for this season, distributing it across North America, Latin America, and Oceania, and streaming it exclusively on Hulu. Crunchyroll handled streaming in Europe (excluding French and German-speaking regions), the Middle East, and North Africa.
The One-Punch Man manga, a remake of ONE’s original web manga, was launched by Yūsuke Murata and ONE on Shueisha’s “Tonari no Young Jump” website in 2012. Viz Media publishes the series digitally in its Weekly Shonen Jump anthology and also releases print volumes.
In other adaptations, Sony Pictures is developing a live-action film based on the manga. In June 2022, Deadline reported that Justin Lin was set to direct. More recently, in April 2024, The Hollywood Reporter indicated that Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon and screenwriter Heather Anne Campbell are rewriting the script.
