The Spring 2026 anime season has officially arrived, marking a fresh chapter for streaming enthusiasts. While winter staples like Trigun Stargaze and the climactic third season of Jujutsu Kaisen have wrapped up, a wealth of new content is waiting in the wings. To kick off the festivities, Netflix unveiled its ambitious Spring 2026 roadmap at the annual AnimeJapan event. The curated list features high-profile Netflix Originals such as JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run and Dandelion, alongside acclaimed series that will migrate to the platform following their initial broadcasts on services like Crunchyroll.

While genre giants like One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen are already staples of the Netflix catalog, the spring update ensures international fans remain up to speed with the latest story arcs. For instance, the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen is set to join the library on May 1. Meanwhile, the highly anticipated Elbaph Arc of One Piece will be available to stream on April 11, trailing slightly behind its April 5 debut on Crunchyroll. Here is a comprehensive look at the upcoming premieres and updates scheduled for Netflix U.S. this season:

  • Dorohedoro (Season 2) — April 1
  • The Ramparts of Ice — April 2
  • Spy x Family (Season 3) — April 4
  • One Piece: Elbaph Arc — April 11
  • Blue Lock (Season 1) — April 25
  • My Dress-Up Darling (Season 1) — April 25
  • Jujutsu Kaisen (Season 2) — May 1
  • Assassination Classroom (Season 1) — May 1
  • Shangri-La Frontier (Season 1) — May 1
  • Overload: The Sacred Kingdom — May 10
  • Akane Banashi — May (Date TBA)

In addition to these heavy hitters, subscribers can look forward to the debut of Witch Hat Atelier, a series poised to bring a sense of wonder back to the fantasy landscape. Furthermore, Dandelion—a Netflix Original adapted from the one-shot manga by Gintama creator Hideaki Sorachi—is scheduled for an April 16 release.

For those looking for immediate viewing, several critically acclaimed projects are currently available, including Cosmic Princess Kaguya!, the emotive Love Through a Prism, and the high-octane sports film 100 Meters. Most of these new additions will feature multi-language dubbing and audio descriptions to cater to a global audience.
