New Berserk Anime Production Rumored to Begin in 2026 – Here’s What We Know

There’s growing buzz in the Berserk community about the possibility of a new anime production starting in 2026, though no official anime announcement has been confirmed by the rights holders yet. Recent discussions stem from reports and fan speculation around the anime’s future following the long wait since the last adaptation.

What’s Really Happening with the Berserk Franchise?

• The Berserk manga — created by the late Kentaro Miura — will continue in 2026 under the supervision of Kouji Mori, a close friend of Miura who is overseeing the story and its continuation. This was publicly confirmed, and it marks a major step forward for the dark fantasy series after a long period of uncertainty.

• Fan projects and rumors about new anime adaptations have circulated widely, but many of these are unauthorized or speculative. In some cases, fan projects attempting to adapt Berserk have been denied rights by the official copyright holders, showing that any future official anime will come from the actual rights owners, not independent groups.

• While some social media posts and community threads suggest that rights holders prefer a Japanese studio to handle any future anime, this has not yet resulted in formal announcements about production details, staff, release dates, or confirmed studios attached to the project.

What Fans Can Expect in 2026

• Manga continuation: With the return of the original manga under Mori’s supervision in 2026, Berserk content will continue to grow, potentially providing more source material for an official anime later.

• Rumored anime efforts: Although fans hope for a full anime adaptation — often linked to the news about manga progression — any new anime project remains unconfirmed by official Japanese licensors.

In short, while 2026 looks to be a major year for Berserk fans, especially with the manga’s confirmed return, there is no officially announced anime production yet. Speculation is high, but definitive confirmation from rights holders or studios is still pending.
