Anime Announcements Tracker: Airing Now, Just Wrapped & Confirmed Dates

This is a living tracker, not a hype reel: every date below is verified against airing data, and the "Updated" stamp on this page is when we last checked all of it. Three sections — what's airing right now, what just wrapped (and what that means for sequels), and every confirmed premiere ahead.

Airing Now (July 2026)

Series	Premiered	Episodes	Status
Re:ZERO Season 4	April 8	19	Mid-run — the long season 4 continues into summer

The one to circle: BLEACH Thousand-Year Blood War — The Calamity premieres July 25. It's the final cour of TYBW — the actual conclusion of Bleach's anime, thirteen episodes to close what started in 2022.

Recently Wrapped — and What It Sets Up

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: The Culling Game Part 1 (January 9 – March, 12 episodes). MAPPA split the Culling Game; Part 1 covered the game's opening rounds. Part 2 is the obvious next announcement to watch for — no date yet, and we don't pretend otherwise.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 (January 16, 10 episodes). Madhouse delivered a shorter, denser season. No season 3 announcement yet — the manga's pace makes a wait likely.

Oshi no Ko Season 3 (January 14, 11 episodes). The revenge plot escalated exactly as manga readers expected.

Witch Hat Atelier Season 1 (April 6 – June 22, 13 episodes, BUG FILMS) — and the big one: Season 2 is officially confirmed and in production. Full breakdown in our Witch Hat Atelier Season 2 tracker.

A rule worth keeping: if a date isn't in an official announcement, it isn't a date. Schedule sites auto-fill guesses, and we don't republish them.
