Psycho-Pass

Make sense of Psycho-Pass seasons and films, including Sinners of the System and Providence. The guide separates release order from story chronology and explains the alternate version of the first season.

Release order and story order answer different questions

Psycho-Pass is not just a numbered run of TV seasons. The films and Sinners of the System trilogy sit alongside the series, while Providence raises a separate question: when events happen versus when viewers were introduced to them.

For a first viewing, open the guide's recommended route before rearranging everything by chronology. Moving an entry earlier can change when you learn about a character or an event, even when the dates line up.

There is also a version choice at the beginning. The extended first-season edit is not another season to place after the original. The guide explains that distinction so you can choose an edition and keep going, rather than unknowingly adding a second pass through the same starting story.
