Anime fans have a fresh streaming option this Fall 2026 season as Dragon Ball Super returns to screens with an enhanced remake project after eight years. The updated series has officially launched on Netflix following a recent platform update, making the premiere episode available to subscribers.
What's new
The first episode of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is now streaming on Netflix, with subsequent new episodes scheduled to arrive on a weekly basis. This platform's schedule runs approximately one week behind the anime's original Japanese release, as well as the streaming launches on Hulu and Crunchyroll where the episode premiered last week.
About the series
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus acts as an enhanced edition of the original Dragon Ball Super television anime, which originally debuted over a decade ago. Toei Animation touted the project as a reconstructed release featuring the following updates:
- Extensive new cuts and scene revisions
- Complete re-rendering of all footage
- Newly recorded dubbing along with an added score and sound effects
- A full reconstruction of the original storyline
However, the project relies on previously created assets rather than entirely new narrative content. Voice star Koichi Yamadera, who voices Beerus, confirmed that he did not record new audio for the anime, revealing that fully voiced new scenes were not produced for his character.
What to expect
While this release modifies previously aired material, a completely new anime is also in development. Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol will adapt the manga's Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc, representing the first of two manga arcs awaiting an official anime adaptation. Further details regarding production staff or release timing are not specified in the source; please check the official notice.
