Netflix’s 10/10 Adults-Only Animated Series Officially Sets Release Date
Netflix has confirmed that the second season of its acclaimed adult animated series Blue Eye Samurai will begin streaming in January 2027. The announcement came alongside new trailers for several of the platform's most popular animated titles, marking the next step for a show that has become one of Netflix's standout original series since its debut in November 2023. A full-length trailer and official announcement date are expected before the end of 2026.
The series features voice work from Brenda Song, Randall Park and Kenneth Branagh, all known for other major film and television roles. The news follows a strong year for Netflix more broadly, with the sci-fi thriller War Machine, starring Alan Ritchson, coming close to 140 million views in its first 90 days and entering the platform's all-time top 10 most-watched list, while the survival thriller Apex, starring Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton, also ranked among 2026's most-watched films.

Netflix's animated shows for adults have become a growing part of its lineup, sitting alongside its live-action hits. Blue Eye Samurai, an animated action series aimed at grown-up viewers rather than children, launched on the platform in November 2023 and was well received by critics and audiences alike. Its voice cast includes recognisable names from film and television, including Brenda Song, Randall Park and Kenneth Branagh.
Streaming services like Netflix regularly confirm release windows and share trailers well ahead of a show actually appearing, as a way of building anticipation and keeping viewers engaged between seasons. This kind of announcement is a routine part of how Netflix promotes its slate of original programming throughout the year.
Netflix has also had a strong run more broadly, with several of its 2026 releases, including the thriller War Machine and the survival film Apex, drawing very large viewing figures and ranking among the platform's most-watched titles. This context helps explain why updates on other popular Netflix originals, such as Blue Eye Samurai, are being closely followed.
