Toei Animation's Dragon Ball Super: Beerus remake will premiere October 11th in Japan, with an international release to follow.

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, the highly anticipated remake of the original TV anime series, has officially set its Japanese premiere for October 11th. This enhanced version, which promises significant visual and sound design upgrades, will launch as part of the Fall 2026 anime schedule, with an international streaming release also confirmed. A new trailer and poster have been released to celebrate the announcement.

The new series will revisit the Battle of Gods arc from the original Dragon Ball Super, offering a more impressive rendition of the story. Beyond the initial arc, the remake is confirmed to cover the Resurrection F and Universe 6 arcs during its run, providing a comprehensive re-imagining of these pivotal sagas. While an international streaming platform remains unannounced, the global launch is confirmed.

Crafting this ambitious revival is director Tadayoshi Yamamuro for Toei Animation, with Matsuto Seya handling composition and direction arrangement. Eichi Nishimura serves as editor, Yosuke Motoki as compositing director, and Norihito Sumitomo composes the score. The series will feature a new opening theme, "ONOGAMI" by MEGATERA・ZERO, and an ending theme, "Kan Peki No Peki" by VK Blanka.

Further insights into Dragon Ball Super: Beerus are expected at New York Comic Con 2026, where a major panel is scheduled for October 8th. Hosted by Monica Rial, the English dub voice of Bulma, the event will feature special guests Jason Douglas (Beerus) and Ian Sinclair (Whis). Attendees can anticipate new details about the series, potentially including its international streaming platform.

With its Japanese debut now locked, the return of Dragon Ball Super is poised to be one of the most significant anime events of the Fall 2026 slate. Fans eagerly await further announcements regarding its worldwide streaming availability and the eventual reveal of the franchise's brand new arc, set to follow this comprehensive remake.
