Netflix Drops Trailers, Images for 7 Shows Including ‘Blue Eye Samurai,’ ‘The One Piece’

Teasers, first looks and premiere dates landed last night at Anime NYC for the streamer’s expansive upcoming adult anime and animated titles slate that also featured ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2,’ ‘Bass X Machina,’ ‘Fool Night,’ ‘LEGO One Piece,’ and ‘Sakamoto Days.’

Netflix brought the goods to Anime NYC last night, dropping new trailers, new images and premiere dates across seven anime and animated titles.

Two of the seven came out of the evening with new dates. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 hits Netflix October 20, and Blue Eye Samurai returns for Season 2 in January 2027, with a third and final season already in production for 2028. The slate sits beside the adult animation Netflix has built out over the last few years, including the Emmy-winning Arcane, Love, Death + Robots, Devil May Cry and Castlevania, with Magic: The Gathering still to come.

Netflix debuted the official teaser for Bass X Machina, the adult animated series executive produced by and starring Brian Tyree Henry. In the series, a lawless steampunk West is overrun by brutal outlaws, machines and supernatural terrors, and a father becomes judge, jury and executioner, knowing that every act of justice meant to protect his family may cost him the people he is fighting to save.

Tyree Henry voices Bass, with Janelle Monae as Glory, Tati Gabrielle as Dana, Cree Summer as Ahni, Chaske Spencer as Lighthorse, Currie Graham as Rivenbark and Starletta DuPois as Etta. LeSean Thomas, Jennifer Wiley-Moxley and Chad Handley executive produce with Tyree Henry; Studio Mir animates, and Roman GianArthur and Nate Wonder wrote the original music at Wondaland. The series hits Netflix November 3.

Here’s the teaser and new images:

We’re still waiting… mostly patiently, for this show to return! Season 2 of Blue Eye Samurai lands in January 2027, and Netflix has confirmed that a third and final season is in production for 2028.

In Season 2, Mizu’s bloody quest carries her to London, where she runs into new friends, old foes and her own demons. Back in Japan, Akemi and Taigen navigate Edo Castle under a dangerous new Shogun, and Ringo searches for a new purpose.

Amber Noizumi and Michael Green created the series and executive produce, with Jane Wu returning as supervising director and producer; France’s Blue Spirit animates. Maya Erskine voices Mizu, the mixed-race sword master who hides her identity behind amber-tinted glasses while hunting four white men in Edo-period Japan, one of whom may be her father. The first season was among the top winners at the 2024 Creative Arts Emmys and won at the 74th ACE Eddie Awards.

Watch the Season 2 teaser and gander at the new images:

The grittyCyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 got a teaser and release date. Netflix set the debut for fall 2026 when the first teaser dropped in July; it now streams October 20.

The new season runs 10 episodes as a standalone story set in Night City, the megacity of CD Projekt Red’s video game Cyberpunk 2077, rather than a continuation of the first season’s story. Bartosz Sztybor showruns and Studio TRIGGER animates again. Netflix’s said it best, noting the season as “a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge.” The first season premiered in September 2022 and won Anime of the Year at the 2023 Crunchyroll Anime Awards.

Watch it here – there’s new images too:

Not one, but two new videos came with Fool Night, a new series that pairs SUNRISE and SHAFT for the first time: a teaser trailer and a featurette, and

In the show, thick cloud has trapped Earth in permanent winter and night, vegetation has died off, and society runs on “Transfloration,” implanting seeds in dying people to turn them into oxygen-producing plants called Spiriflors. Toshiro Kamiya, a young man buried in poverty and caring for his mother, has to decide whether to go on as a human or become one of them.

Atsushi Yukawa directs, with Jin Tanaka on series composition and Robert Sato on character design. The series adapts Kasumi Yasuda’s manga “Fool Night,” serialized in Shogakukan’s “Big Comic Superior.” Adam McArthur and Oli

Netflix put the series in 2026 when it previewed at Annecy in June. No premiere date came with Thursday’s drop.

Take a look at the teaser, and featurette, and images:

A two-part animated special, LEGO One Piece retells the first two seasons of Netflix’s live-action One Piece in brick form, with Usopp, the crew’s most reliably unreliable narrator, walking Chopper through the escapades. It hits Netflix September 29.

The live-action cast voices both parts: Inaki Godoy as Luffy, Emily Rudd as Nami, Mackenyu as Zoro, Jacob Romero as Usopp, Taz Skylar as Sanji and Mikaela Hoover as Tony Tony Chopper. Jeff Ward voices Buggy the Clown. The LEGO Group, Netflix and Tomorrow Studios announced a line of brick sets built on the live-action series in January 2025.

Out of shape yet a badass – Sakamoto Days chronicles a simple shopkeeper anyone over 40 can adore. Netflix dropped a character trailer for Sakamoto Days Season 2. No premiere date was announced.

The series follows Taro Sakamoto, a legendary ex-hitman (said shopkeeper) who bands together with allies to fend off the assassins threatening the quiet family life he built. TMS Entertainment animates, with Masaki Watanabe directing, Taku Kishimoto on series composition, Yo Moriyama on character design and Yuki Hayashi scoring. It adapts Yuto Suzuki’s manga “Sakamoto Days,” serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump.”

Netflix revealed key art for The One Piece, WIT Studio‘s from-scratch remake of Eiichiro Oda’s seminal manga, “One Piece.” Nothing released upends the February 2027 window Netflix set at Annecy in June.

The remake starts at the beginning of the East Blue saga, the same ground Toei Animation’s series covered when it began broadcasting in 1999. Masashi Koizuka directs, with Hideaki Abe as assistant director, Taku Kishimoto on series composition, and Kyoji Asano and Takatoshi Honda as character designers and chief animation directors. Yasuhiro Kajino handles creature design, Eri Taguchi props, Ken Imaizumi and Shuhei Fukuda action animation, Tomonori Kuroda art direction and Ryoma Kawamura animation production.

The streamer first ordered the remake in December 2023.
