Summary

Toho Announces Season

Toho announced third season but gave no release date.
In March 2026 Toho signed deals adding Seasons 1 and 2 to Crunchyroll, Hulu/Disney+, and Rakuten Viki.
The first season premiered on Netflix Japan in January 2020, went global in May 2020, and stayed Netflix-only abroad for six years.
The series earned a 2021 Crunchyroll Anime Awards nomination but lost to MAPPA’s Jujutsu Kaisen, prompting Toho’s Animation label to use the renewal to broaden its anime portfolio.
