description: Here's everything we know so far!
encoded: There was once a time when Invincible fans had to wait years until a new season of the hit adult animated superhero series debuted, but no longer. Now, the show has got into a consistent rhythm, with the fourth season on its way soon, just a year after season 3 blew fans away with its adaptation of some beloved comic arcs. News of season 4's release date has arrived alongside a brand-new trailer, which features all the character moments, punch ups and mayhem that you'd expect, while also introducing Lee Pace's new formidable villain. As fans now count down the days, they can rest assured season 4 won't be the last time they get to see their favourite characters - the series has already been renewed for a fifth season. As for season 4, read on to find out exactly when the next instalment is set to be released, along with everything we know so far about the cast and plot. Invincible season 4 release date The release date for Invincible season 4 was unveiled in January 2026, with the new episodes starting to arrive on Prime Video from Wednesday 18th March 2026. This means the season will be arriving just over a year after season 3, with the show now seemingly in a steady rhythm after the long gap between seasons 1 and 2. Creator Robert Kirkman has previously expressed his ambition to have a season of Invincible release every year, but that will depend on how long the production process takes. Speaking to The Direct, he said: "Right now, the focus is making sure that the show comes out as regularly as possible, and we're trying not to have any distractions that are going to keep us from that. "So, right now, the focus has been getting season 3 wrapped up, getting season 4 wrapped up. Hopefully, once those are all tied up, we'll have some time to figure out how to do a little bit more, but we may not. I don't know, we'll see." Invincible was officially renewed for a fifth season back in July 2025, before season 4 had even premiered, with the video announcement on Twitter…

The series is set to return for a fourth and final season, too. In the meantime, the new spin-off series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has begun airing on HBO in the US and on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK. Who will be in the cast of House of the Dragon season 3? Currently, the following cast members are confirmed for House of the Dragon season 3.

Fans have been waiting for the hard-edged superhero show's final season for some time now, especially after the end of the latest season of spin-off Gen V. It's sure to be an emotional (and gruesome, and explosive) ending to the beloved show, but at this point, what do we actually know for certain about season 5? Read on for everything you need to know, but beware – spoilers for seasons 1-4, plus seasons 1-2 of spin-off Gen V, abound. The Boys season 5 release date The Boys season 5 will premiere on 8th April 2026 on Prime Video - so not long to wait now! The first two episodes will drop at once, with the rest releasing weekly until 20th May. The news was announced alongside a new trailer, which offered fans their first look at Jared Padalecki’s mystery role, staging a Supernatural reunion with Jensen Ackles, who returns as Soldier Boy. Fans have been waiting for this news since filming wrapped in July 2025. When filming came to an end, a number of the show's central cast members took to Instagram to reflect on their journeys with their characters. For instance, Starlight star Erin Moriarty posted: "The tears have begun. The posts are incoming. I said goodbye to most of my work family today and I’ll be ready to smile about it when I’m ready to smile about it." Meanwhile, Homelander actor Antony Starr wrote on Instagram: "I love this show. And I love this character. Truly. I will dearly miss heading to work, knowing what we were aiming for but never knowing where we would find ourselves by the end of the day…only that we would have fun and it would be creatively rewarding in the extreme. "This complicated character allowed the space and range to discover and push boundaries in a way I never expected and I will always be grateful for this experience. "And of course huge gratitude to my co-parent with this twisted gem of a character - @erickripke1 . We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you.…

description: Kei Urana's first season of Gachiakuta is off to an explosive start.
encoded: Gachiakuta is easily one of the best anime hits introduced this summer, and its thrilling blend of fantasy and dark social commentary is likely to thank. The series followed Rudo Surebrec, a down-on-his-luck guy who lives in a city divided by a harsh class system: criminals and undesirable citizens are thrown into the depths of a huge hole in the ground, known as The Pit. While the wealthy live in the fancy neighbourhoods of a floating city, The Pit is a trash-filled wasteland, home to a group called the Cleaners. This group fight back against the toxic monsters who roam The Pit. With the original Gachiakuta manga being 140 chapters long, there's a ton of material for the anime series to play around with. For now though, we've still got 10 plus episodes to go, leading right up until December. It even has a brand new opening theme too, which you can check out over on the official Gachiakuta account on X. Read below to find out everything you need to know about the Gachiakuta anime release schedule, including when the next episode will arrive. Gachiakuta release schedule: When are new episodes out?

description: Those pesky kaiju are back at it again this new season.
encoded: Returning for a second season, Kaiju No. 8 is a fascinating twist on the ever-popular kaiju genre, starring a hero who wants to battle kaiju... while kind of being a kaiju himself. Based on the manga series by Naoya Matsumoto, this action-packed anime is a clever tribute to the Japanese giant monster genre, tapping into ideas that originated with Godzilla in the 1950s. Taking place in a world ravaged by kaiju attacks (much like the American kaiju movie Pacific Rim), Kaiju No. 8 focuses on an unlikely hero protagonist Kafka Hibino. He's always wanted to join the heroic Kaiju Defence Force, but after failing the entrance exams, he now works as a cleaner. But when Kafka gets attacked by a kaiju parasite, his life changes forever. This parasite gives him the ability to transform into a kaiju hybrid - a power he must hide from everyone around him, particularly once he gets a belated chance to live his dream of joining the Defence Force. Season 1 ended with Kafka's secret being revealed, leading into an equally action-packed second season in 2025. If you're just catching up now, here's everything you need to know about Kaiju No. 8's release schedule! What is the Kaiju No. 8 season 2 release schedule? New episodes of Kaiju No. 8 season 2 arrive each Saturday, following the season 2 premiere on 19th July 2025.

description: Naruto and Naruto Shippuden have legendary episodes – but there's still plenty you can skip if you want to.
encoded: Naruto is one of the most iconic anime franchises in existence – a status it enjoys both due to its longevity, and thanks to its continuing popularity with kids. Its nostalgia value is undeniable. For many anime fans, Naruto was the show that made them fall in love with the medium, and for that reason alone it's widely regarded as a must-watch. Adapted from a long-running manga series by writer and artist Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto (and its sequel series Naruto Shippuden) is a ninja adventure story about an orphan boy named Naruto Uzumaki, who wants to grow up to become the Hokage (or leader) of Leaf Village. His journey involves training in martial arts and battling an ever-increasing number of enemies. While this is obviously an action franchise, the violence is kid-friendly, balanced out by comedic moments and storylines about love and friendship. In terms of sheer volume, Naruto is also one of the biggest anime/manga franchises around. Alongside the original comics, fans can enjoy spin-off video games, live-action adaptations, a vast array of merchandise, and even a musical. As for the actual anime, Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden boast an intimidating 700+ episodes combined, running from 2002 to 2017. And after that there's the sequel series Boruto, which ran for almost 300 further episodes. Given the length of those two original Naruto adaptations, it's no surprise that some of those episodes are filler. While seriously dedicated fans may want to watch every single episode, you can definitely skip some sections and still enjoy all the important parts of the story. But which bits qualify as essential viewing? Happily, we're here to help you answer that question. Read on for our guide to all the filler episodes in Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden, advising you on which episodes you can comfortably skip. What are the Naruto filler episodes? For newcomers to the world of Naruto, the following episodes are all generally agreed to be filler: 26 - Special Report: Live from t…

description: Season 9 of Rick and Morty is already guaranteed.
encoded: Rick and Morty season 8 has come to an end with a finale that we won't be forgetting anytime soon. But already, fans are wondering: when will we see a season 9 – and will it be anytime soon? Or has the show been cancelled? This wacky sci-fi comedy follows Rick Sanchez, a grouchy and eccentric mad scientist who would rather hit you in the face than talk to you. He's joined by his anxious grandson, Morty Smith, and together, the two often go on wacky, intergalactic adventures that leave chaos in their wake. Last year, Adult Swim renewed Rick and Morty for a handful of future seasons, keeping it on the air until season 12 at the very least. So we know that there will be a season 9 coming. Read on below to find out everything we know about Rick and Morty season 9. Rick and Morty season 9 release date speculation While there has been no confirmation on the release date for Rick and Morty season 9, we can roughly guess when we think season 9 will be happening. After all, we know from creator Dan Harmon that the upcoming season was being written even before season 7 had aired. "We're writing season 9, we had way too much quality work down the pipe that I would have never let go away," Harmon told Radio Times after fears of cancellation surfaced. "Because I'm so proud of what people even get to see in season 7." With this in mind, we estimate that we'll see Rick and Morty return sometime in late 2026 or early 2027. Last season was marred by heavy delays due to the WGA strike, but unless something similar occurs, we're confident that fans of the show won't have to wait as long this time around. Who will return in Rick and Morty season 9? It's expected that the main cost will return for season 9, which of course includes Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden as Rick and Morty. Although we don't have any confirmed details, we also expect the series to feature several guest stars. The cast members we expect to return for season 9 are as follows.

If you’re someone who enjoys monsters and intense action, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t watch the first season ahead of time and get stuck into the explosive world created by Naoya Matsumoto. However, why not go a step further and jump into the Kaiju No. 8 manga? The original manga was first published in July 2020 on Shueisha's Shōnen Jump+ online platform. The story follows cleaner Kafka Hibino, who has long wanted to become a Defense Force hero. Unfortunately, Kafka flunks all his entrance exams, leaving him to clean up the mess left behind by kaijus and the Force. However, things change when he ingests a parasite that gives him kaiju-based superpowers. If the premise sounds interesting to you and you want to read the manga alongside the anime series, you might be wondering: where can you read Kaiju No. 8? Don’t fret; we’re here to guide you. Buy the Kaiju No. 8 series at Amazon Buy the Kaiju No. 8 series at Waterstones Can I read the Kaiju No. 8 manga series for free? Technically, yes, you can read the entire Kaiju No. 8 manga series for free over on Manga Plus, an app for smart devices that includes a variety of titles across multiple genres. However, there is a catch: you’re only able to read these chapters once. That means the moment you’re done with a chapter, you won’t be able to reread it without forking over your money. If that doesn’t bother you, though, then yes, Manga Plus is the app that you need to read Kaiju No. 8 for free. Of course, this is only available for readers who want to read Kaiju No. 8 digitally. At the time of writing, there is no way to read the manga (physically) for free unless your local library has it in stock. With the above in mind, Kaiju No. 8 isn’t a completely inaccessible series, as there are legal ways to read it for free. It just comes with a few caveats that are worth considering.

Only, things take a turn for the worse when you find yourself effectively trapped inside by the game's creator with one simple rule: if you die in the game, you die in real life. If that sounds like an intriguing premise to you, then you'll most definitely love Sword Art Online. Written by Reki Kawahara and illustrated by abec, Sword Art Online first began as a web novel in 2002, before it was adapted into a light novel series that is still ongoing today. It became so well-loved that it was adapted into an anime series produced by A-1 Pictures, which aired in 2012. Sword Art Online was instantly well-received by fans and critics alike, particularly for delving deeper into how online worlds can have psychological effects on the players that inhabit them. With such acclaim, it's no surprise that Sword Art Online has become a franchise in and of itself, quickly gaining video games and movies. With so much going on, new viewers may find it confusing to know where to start. Thankfully, we have just the guide to help you watch Sword Art Online in order.

encoded: Star City, a For All Mankind spin-off from Ben Nedivi, Matt Wolpert and Ronald D Moore, is an upcoming sci-fi show from Apple following the premise of an alt-history retelling of the space race. Its original show dared to ask the question: what if the space race ended with the Soviet Union putting the first man on the moon instead of the US? Star City, however, is taking a different approach. Instead of focusing on the space race as a whole, the series will delve into the lives of the people who made it possible for the Soviet space programme to succeed. The risks, the rewards, and everything in between. Everything it took to make it possible for the Soviet Union to take the first big step for mankind.

description: Gintama can look a little confusing, but we promise it's easier than it looks to watch this sci-fi series.
encoded: Developed by creator Hideaki Sorachi in 2003, Gintama follows the a space samurai known as Gintoki Sakata, a self-established freelancer who works alongside his friends Shinpachi Shimura and Kagura in a store to help pay rent. Oh, and the Tokyo they live in has been conquered by aliens. Because why not? If that sounds a little wacky, then it's because it is. But that's what makes the series so memorable in the first place. Fun fact: Gintama is cited as one of the best-selling manga series of all time, with over 55 million copies in print alone. But it isn't just the manga that's popular. Gintama's anime, which began in December 2003 and only ended in June 2019, has had its home entertainment releases consistently in the top ten rankings of DVDs and Blu-rays. If that isn't worth bragging about, then we don't know what is. Gintama is also coming back in a major way with a brand new spin-off series: Gintama '3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-sensei. Its first trailer was revealed earlier in the year, but its launch is set to come sometime in October 2025. Of course, some fans may be wondering if you need to watch everything Gintama to understand it. If that's you, then you're in the right place. Read on to learn the best way to watch this expansive anime (though not quite as expansive as One Piece) in order. Should I watch Gintama in chronological order?

encoded: My Dress-Up Darling season 2 is in full swing, but fans of the romantic comedy are wondering when they’ll be able to hear the dubbed version of the series. The romantic comedy, developed by studio CloverWorks and directed by Keisuke Shinohara, follows the quiet loner Wakana Gojo and Marin Kitagawa, the most popular girl in school. Despite coming from two very different worlds, they discover they aren’t all that dissimilar after all and bond over cosplay, dolls and fashion. The second season has already been well-received by fans and critics alike, and there are still plenty more episodes to come out in the following weeks. If you prefer your anime dubbed to subbed, here's everything we know so far about when an English dub will be available on Crunchyroll. My Dress-Up Darling season 2 dub release date speculation At the time of writing, it has yet to be confirmed when viewers can expect a release date for the dub of My Dress-Up Darling season 2. That being said, we do know that a dub is on the way, having been confirmed via Crunchyroll in June. Although there’s no official confirmation, we can speculate on when the dub may be released. Usually, dubbed episodes are released about two weeks behind subbed episodes, so we'd expect My Dress-Up Darling season 2’s first two episodes to drop around 19th July.

encoded: Bleach fans are eagerly awaiting the fourth season of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, also known as Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity. But when will it be available to stream? A sequel to the iconic Shonen anime series, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War adapts the manga's final act, starting out with a storyline covering the mysterious mass disappearance of Hollows from Hueco Mundo. Since then, Ichigo has faced up against several different antagonists, including the nefarious Yhwach. There's a lot to look forward to in the show's upcoming fourth season, but since we're already halfway through 2025, fans may be getting impatient to hear some new updates. Here's everything we know about Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War season 4, including its expected release window. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War season 4 release date speculation As of July 2025, the season now has an official release window. Confirmed at Anime Expo 2025, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is set to return sometime in 2026. The announcement didn't confirm a specific release date, but the series could be ready to air early in the year, potentially during the spring 2026 release window. Alongside this release date announcement, the show also shared a "super teaser" poster: What will be the plot of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War season 4? The official Hulu plot summary describes the new season in these terms: "When a new enemy appears, Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki jumps back into the battlefield with his Zanpakuto to help those in need." Otherwise, we obviously don't know many specifics of the plot - although manga fans will be able to make some guesses, and the teaser trailer includes details like Ichigo's new Zanpakuto. This season is expected to cover Soul King's history and the history of the Soul Society, after those themes were introduced in part 3. As the final instalment in the series, Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity is expected to feature an epic showdown between Ichi…

Developed as a manga title by Kenji Inoue in 2014, the series quickly hit it big thanks to its surreal comedy and wacky cast of characters, getting published in Kodansha USA soon afterwards. It was no surprise, then, that it was eventually developed into an anime series back in 2018 and was well-received due to its feel-good antics and laugh-out-loud atmosphere. When the first season ended, however, fans were concerned about whether or not the series would ever get a season 2 at all.

The light novel had 16 volumes packed with stories to tell, and there are still plenty of things to uncover in the anime series. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean a season 3 is guaranteed to happen to tell them. That said, given how popular the series is – its season 2 opening gained 1.3 million views in just three days – it would be surprising if The Apothecary Diaries ended without its proper conclusion. With that said, read on to learn everything we know about a The Apothecary Diaries season 3, from a potential release date to speculation about the returning cast of characters. Will there be a The Apothecary Diaries season 3? As of the time of writing, The Apothecary Diaries season 3 has yet to be confirmed. But before you lose hope, fans of the series should pay close attention to the special The Apothecary Diaries panel happening right now over at Anime Expo 2025. Guest stars Aoi Yuki, who voices Maomao, and Asami Seto, who voices Shisui, are present, and speculation about whether they'll announce season 3 has risen. Check back in the future where we’ll hopefully be able to confirm whether The Apothecary Diaries season 3 is happening and, most importantly, when. When could a potential The Apothecary Diaries season 3 air? While it’s hard to pin down an exact potential release date for The Apothecary Diaries season 3, we would speculate that – if confirmed – the third season would be released sometime in early 2027. This takes into account the length of time between the first and second seasons, as well as the efforts required to develop an anime series. While the series is indeed popular, its high quality is what makes it so well-loved in the first place, so TOHO Animation Studio and OLM shouldn’t and wouldn’t want to rush.

As it turns out, One Punch Man season 3 isn't so far away after all, with an official release date window and trailer confirmed. Based on the 2009 manga and webcomic from Yusuke Murata, One Punch Man follows a hero named Saitama. Initially a hero just for fun, Saitama decides to sign up as a professional hero at the Hero Association once he realises that nobody knows who he is. With that in mind, Saitama sets out to find an adversary worthy of his immense power. One Punch Man has had two knockout seasons so far, airing in 2015 and 2019.

encoded: Chainsaw Man revved its way through our collective hearts back when it first aired in December 2022, with Chainsaw season 2 feeling very much guaranteed. It wasn't hard to see why, with the first season being so highly acclaimed that many, critics and fans alike, were left confident that the series would quickly become the new Attack on Titan and bring forth a new era of some truly incredible anime. The reality, however, is much different. While fans can expect to see protagonist Denji's story continue, it may not be in the format that they may have expected. As in, it may not be a season after all. But fans of Chainsaw Man shouldn't fret. There's still plenty to uncover in the manga, and it goes without saying that Denji's popularity remains at an all-time high, so a season 2 isn't completely out of the question. But when and where can we expect it? Read on below to find out everything we know about a Chainsaw Man season 2. Will there be a Chainsaw Man season 2? At the time of writing, there's not been an official confirmation on whether or not Chainsaw Man will return for season 2. AnimeGeek.com is reporting that it's already in production but, as always, until we get an official word that's the case, take it all with a pinch of salt. Even so, while there's been nothing confirmed, Chainsaw Man fans shouldn't be too upset. A movie, following directly after Chainsaw Man season 1, is set to release on 19th September 2025 in Japan, with the US and the UK receiving the film later, on 29th October 2025. The movie is titled the Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc and, as it says itself, follows Denji throughout the Reze arc of the critically-acclaimed manga. This doesn't necessarily mean that Chainsaw Man season 2 is out of the question, but it does mean that if it came to a watch order, the likelihood of fans needing to watch the film before the second season is pretty high. But that is only speculation. We will keep this page updated with all the latest news and confirm…

description: Shinichirō Watanabe’s sci-fi action anime has won us over. But will it be around for a second outing?
encoded: If you’re a fan of classic anime series like Cowboy Bebop and Carole & Tuesday, you’ll no doubt have heard of Shinichirō Watanabe’s newest anime outing, Lazarus. The sci-fi action series follows a task force of five agents, known as Lazarus. They are assembled to locate neuroscientist Dr Skinner, the creator of a drug known as Hapna. The drug helped relieve those who took it of any pain, but there is an unfortunate twist: nearly 3 years later, it is revealed that those who took Hapna have effectively shortened their life span to 3 years... The team at Lazarus only have 30 days to find Skinner and save the first wave of Hapna victims. But to do the impossible, the group will need the best of the best, aka criminals who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. Lazarus has already been well-received by critics, scoring well on Rotten Tomatoes due to its "provocative" ideas and intriguing cast of characters. But has it received a season 2? Read on to find out more. Will there be a Lazarus season 2? Lazarus is exceedingly popular, with both casual and die-hard fans eager for the next episode of the 13-episode series. But is that enough for it to earn a season 2? The reality is that a season 2 has not yet been confirmed by either the series creator, Shinichirō Watanabe, nor its animation or production studios, MAPPA and Sola Entertainment. So, with that information in mind – where does that leave fans? Fans of Watanabe will know that the creator doesn’t like to extend his stories. Once the story is complete, Watanabe has very little desire to stick around. With that put into consideration, we wouldn’t be at all surprised if Lazarus ends after just one season – a crushing blow for those who dreamed of a potential sequel to the thrilling sci-fi series. When could a potential Lazarus season 2 be released? If Lazarus were to receive a season 2, the earliest potential release date would be sometime in mid-to-late 2026. Producing an anime series takes time, and the length of sai…

description: Own Solo Leveling season 1's Blu-ray this July.
encoded: Solo Leveling, the anime series from creator Chugong and studio A-1 Pictures, has stolen the hearts of anime fans everywhere. And now, this July, you'll be able to own the Blu-ray of the first season for yourself when it releases in the UK on 21st July. It would be an understatement to say that Solo Leveling is well-loved. It not only shot into popularity with its first season back in early 2024, but the fervour behind the series tripled during the airing of its second season earlier this year. Our own David Opie has argued that the series will change anime forever. With such high praise, it was only a matter of time before a physical copy of the award-winning anime series would hit the marketplace. Not only that, but Solo Leveling fans have something a little extra on offer: season 1 Blu-ray Limited Edition. If you're a huge fan of the series, splurging a little more to get some extra goodies sounds like a good idea. The plot focuses on Sung Jinwoo, a fledgling hunter who is bestowed with magical abilities that empower him to battle and vanquish monsters. But there is one small, teensy problem: Jinwoo is not the best hunter in the world. Things end up changing for the better for him with his new powers, but it's an uphill battle for our hero. One way you can uncover more about the show for yourself is by purchasing the Solo Leveling season 1 Blu-ray. Fans will be able to purchase Blu-ray, DVD, and SteelBook editions of Solo Leveling season 1 from select stores in the UK, such as Amazon, Zavvi and HMV. They'll also be able to obtain a copy via Crunchyroll's e-commerce store. Solo Leveling season 1 and season 2 is available to stream on Crunchyroll.

description: The story may be over, but there's always time to relive it.
encoded: Attack on Titan concluded in 2023, and with it came an end to an era. Not only was it explosively popular at its debut in the 2010s, but the dark fantasy horror series quickly became a multimedia franchise that, to this very day, is still widely beloved by fans from across the globe. It even has multiple spin-offs, spanning live-action movies and video games. Based on a best-selling manga series by Hajime Isayama, Attack on Titan is famous for its gore, its plot twists, and its unique dystopian world building. It is set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting where humans are forced to live behind walls so they're unable to be preyed upon by carnivorous giants known as Titans, and the story follows Eren Yeager, a young boy who vows to destroy Titankind for good. He, alongside his best friends Armin and Mikasa, grow up to join the Survey Corps. The Survey Corps is an organisation committed to keeping humanity safe from the Titan threat by surveying the wilderness outside of the city. The sheer volume of Attack on Titan media is enough to make anyone hesitate on where to start. Fortunately, with the anime and manga being completely finished, you'll be able to watch the series in the order it was released with very little trouble. Read on to find out how you can watch Attack on Titan in order. Though beware, this article includes spoilers for the end of Attack on Titan. How to watch Attack on Titan in order When embarking on a lengthy anime series, many viewers begin by asking which episodes they can skip. Basically, does Attack on Titan include a lot of filler episodes like Naruto? The simple answer is no. Attack on Titan is a dense, plot-heavy series with plenty of character development, and virtually every scene is important to the overall story - sometimes paying off years after the fact. The OVAs aren't quite as crucial, but they're interesting nonetheless, and always add something new to the overarching narrative. With that in mind, here's our recommended watch ord…
