Netflix announces new anime slate and release dates

Netflix has announced an extensive upcoming slate of animated content, including new trailers and release dates for several highly anticipated titles. Key updates include the second season of “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners,” scheduled for October 20, 2026, and the second season of “Sakamoto Days,” set for January 2027. Other upcoming projects include “Blue Eye Samurai” Season 2, premiering in January 2027, and a two-part “LEGO® ONE PIECE” special arriving this September.

The horror thriller anime “Fool Night,” a joint production between Sunrise and Shaft, is scheduled for a worldwide debut on November 26, 2026. While the series has confirmed its English voice cast, including Adam McArthur and Olivia Liang, the decision to release all episodes simultaneously under Netflix’s binge model has drawn criticism from fans who prefer weekly releases to sustain mystery and engagement.
