Netflix Prepares a November Loaded with Anime with Two Major Premieres
Netflix is adding two highly anticipated original anime titles in November 2026: Fool Night and Bass X Machina. These premieres are joined by weekly episodes of series already in broadcast such as Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, Blue Box, and Steel Ball Run, among others.
The Netflix anime catalog continues to grow month by month, combining new original productions with the return of series that maintain their weekly release schedule. Below, we review all the confirmed premieres for November 2026.
Bass X Machina, the New Steampunk Bet from LeSean Thomas
Bass X Machina (Season 1) will arrive on Netflix on November 3, 2026. The series is created by LeSean Thomas, also responsible for Yasuke and Cannon Busters, and is animated by Studio Mir.
The voice cast includes Brian Tyree Henry, Currie Graham, Cree Summer, Tati Gabrielle, and Janelle Monáe. At the moment, the total number of episodes and the exact duration of each chapter have not been confirmed.
Although some fans might debate whether it fits the strict geographical definition of anime, its action choreography, stylized character design, and mature themes make it an essential production for fans of the genre.
The official synopsis describes the series as follows: in a lawless steampunk West, dominated by brutal outlaws, machines, and supernatural terrors, a father is forced to become judge, jury, and executioner, knowing that every act of justice intended to protect his family could cost him the lives of the very people he is trying to save.
Fool Night, the Collaboration Between Sunrise and Shaft
Fool Night (Season 1) will premiere on Netflix on November 26, 2026. This production is a collaboration between animation studios Sunrise and Shaft, and is shaping up to be one of the most prominent new anime arriving on the platform in 2026.
The voice cast includes Kouki Uchiyama, Aya Endou, Minako Kotobuki, Junya Enoki, and Kiyomitsu Mizuuchi. The number of episodes and the duration of each chapter have not yet been confirmed.
The story takes place in a distant, sunless future where oxygen is dangerously scarce. Humanity survives thanks to "floromorphosis," a controversial technology that transforms living humans into oxygen-producing plants. Toshiro Kamiya, pushed to the limit by extreme poverty and his mother's serious illness, faces an impossible dilemma: unable to afford basic food or medicine, he contemplates sacrificing his own body to the floromorphosis process in exchange for a large sum of money.
