TBA — Coming When They’re Ready

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

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Season 2)

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners not only became a Netflix hit but helped revitalise the Cyberpunk 2077 game, turning it into one of the best games of its generation.

Sakamoto Days (Season 2)

Sakamoto Days has been an extremely popular addition to the Netflix library and, much like Dan Da Dan, has become central to Netflix’s push to bring more weekly anime to the platform. A renewal is widely expected soon. whats-on-netflix

Beyond 2026

Dan Da Dan (Season 3) — 2027

The One Piece (Remake) — 2026

WIT Studio — known for the early seasons of Attack on Titan — is handling this complete remake of the East Blue Arc, significantly reducing the runtime of the original Toei adaptation for tighter, more engaging pacing. A perfect entry point for newcomers and a nostalgic treat for veterans. whats-on-netflix
