Jujutsu Kaisen (Season 2)

Netflix Release Date: April 2026

Twelve years after the Hidden Inventory Arc, the students of Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School have even more responsibility thrust upon them as they must contend with the ever-rising number of high-level curses.

In order to complete their goal, the curses must remove Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer. They begin their plan with an orchestrated attack on Shibuya Station, where the sorcerers spring into action to defend the innocents.


One Piece: Elbaf Island Arc

Coming to Netflix: April 11, 2026

Once the Egghead Island Arc wraps up, the One Piece anime will move on to the Elbaph Island Arc! Since Elbaph was first mentioned over two decades ago, fans have waited an entire generation, and then some, to see the home of the Giant Warrior Pirates. It’s unclear if a long break is in store for the anime once Egghead wraps, but at the very least, we expect to see more weekly episodes of One Piece on Netflix throughout 2026.


 

Devil May Cry (Season 2)

A boy, hardened by the loss of his brother, grows distrustful after their shared dream of an “Age of Electricity” is cut short. A deeply devout girl hides her dreams and regrets for her deceased mother deep within her heart.

Bass X Machina 1

From South Korean animation studio Studio Mir, an exciting new anime is headed to Netflix later this year. The series will feature the voice talent of Brian Tyree Henry, Janelle Monáe, Tati Gabrielle, Cree Summer, Chaske Spencer, Currie Graham, and Starlette DuPois.

The second season of Ranma 1/2 only came to an end, so fans will be delighted that the wait for more episodes will be less than a year to drop on Netflix!

Ranma and his father, Genma, arrive, but they hide a great secret: whenever water touches the pair, Ranma turns into a girl, and Genma turns into a giant panda. Ranma, who becomes betrothed to the youngest of the Tendou sisters, Akane, must learn to get along with his future wife, and the pair begin attending school together.


JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run 2nd Stage

Coming to Netflix: 2026

Controversially, Steel Ball Run isn’t receiving weekly or even monthly new episodes, as each “stage” will be released periodically on Netflix. This has left fans devastated online and sparked a major backlash over Netflix’s decision to release the new season.


Baki-Dou: The Invincible Samurai (Part 2)

Coming to Netflix: 2026 TBC

Netflix has been the home of Baki for several years, and continues to deliver excellent new seasons. Currently, the anime is adapting the Invincible Samurai Arc, and it has been confirmed that more episodes will be on the way in the near future. It remains unclear whether the next batch of episodes will be released on Netflix in 2026 or if we will have to wait until 2027.

Following his legendary father-son battle against Yujiro Hanma, Baki faces a new threat: the resurrection of Japan’s greatest swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi. As warriors like Doppo Orochi, Jack Hanma, and Kaoru Hanayama return to the fight, the stage is set for an unprecedented clash—the strongest underground fighter vs. the legendary samurai, in a cross-era showdown.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Season 2) N

Coming to Netflix: TBA

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was a great hit not only for Netflix but also for the Cyberpunk Game, helping revitalise the game, which had a poor launch, and has since become one of the best video games of its generation. It’s unclear whether the second season will continue the story of Edgerunners or introduce a brand new cast of colourful characters.

Let’s hope the second season won’t traumatize fans as much as the first!

The Summer Hikaru Died (Season 2) N

Dan Da Dan (Season 3)

Momo, who believes in ghosts, and Okarun, who believes in aliens, each deny the existence of the other, that is, until one fateful night on a dare, when Okarun has a run-in with a malicious spirit and Momo with over-inquisitive aliens, the pair find themselves stepping into the world of the paranormal and supernatural.
