Kyumei Byoto 24-ji television series revival

Overview

The medical drama series ‘Kyumei Byoto 24-ji’ (ER 24 Hours) is returning for a sixth season on Fuji TV after a 13-year hiatus. The new season is scheduled to premiere on October 12, 2026.

Initial announcements confirmed that Yosuke Eguchi and Nanako Matsushima will reprise their leading roles as Issei Shindo and Kaede Kojima, marking their first collaboration in approximately 16 years. The series intends to address contemporary medical themes such as work-style reforms, generational gaps between doctors, and the ethics of life-saving technology in an aging society.

Subsequent updates provided further details regarding the supporting cast, introducing young doctors Taisei Kido, Riku Hagiwara, and Sei Shiraishi. Recent announcements have expanded the cast further, adding Mayu Yokota and Shoki Nakayama, who will portray second-year medical residents Mei Tanaka and Tatsuhei Nagara. This marks the first time both actors will appear in a Monday 9 PM drama slot.

Additionally, Anna, who previously appeared in the fifth series as a patient, will return to the franchise in a new role as Yuuka Azechi, a fourth-year nurse characterized by her direct personality and extensive field experience.
