Netflix adult animation 2025 is shaping up to be one of the platform’s strongest slates yet.
Today, Netflix confirmed new projects and returning seasons for some of its most in-demand anime and animation titles, including Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, Devil May Cry, Blue Eye Samurai, Sakamoto Days, and Record of Ragnarok.
From espionage thrillers to supernatural battles, the upcoming lineup shows how Netflix continues to build a home for animation that isn’t just for kids.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch
The highly anticipated Splinter Cell adaptation officially has a date. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch will premiere October 14, 2025, with Kirby Howell-Baptiste voicing agent Zinnia McKenna.
This adult animated series expands Ubisoft’s iconic stealth franchise, bringing its tactical espionage and morally complex storytelling into Netflix’s growing action catalog. Fans of the games can expect a tense mix of spycraft and global intrigue.
Devil May Cry Season 2
Netflix also confirmed that Devil May Cry will return for Season 2 in 2026. A new teaser promises more high-octane battles, stylish visuals, and fan-favorite demon hunter Dante back in action.
The first season quickly became a standout for anime fans worldwide, and anticipation is already building for where the next chapter will take the story.
Blue Eye Samurai Season 2
After a breakout debut that earned an Emmy nomination, Blue Eye Samurai is officially coming back for Season 2. Netflix revealed a first-look featurette and two new images that hint at the next stage of Mizu’s journey.
The show’s mix of Japanese history, revenge-driven storytelling, and visually stunning animation has secured its spot as one of Netflix’s most ambitious original anime projects.
Sakamoto Days
Part 2 of Sakamoto Days dropped a new mid-season trailer and images, showing more of the wild, action-comedy energy that made the first part a fan favorite.
Based on the hit manga, the series follows a retired hitman who can’t quite leave his old life behind, mixing absurd humor with sharp fight choreography.
Record of Ragnarok III
The gods-versus-humans saga continues with Record of Ragnarok III, which unveiled its latest trailer. Expect more mythological face-offs, high-stakes battles, and stylish animation that has fueled the show’s cult following.
Why Netflix Is Betting on Adult Animation
With hits like Arcane, Castlevania, and Love, Death & Robots, Netflix has already proven it can deliver groundbreaking adult animation. The 2025–2026 slate builds on that foundation, adding familiar franchises like Splinter Cell and Devil May Cry while continuing original projects like Blue Eye Samurai.
The result is a lineup that appeals to anime veterans, gaming fans, and anyone drawn to stories that push the limits of animation.
Looking Ahead
From espionage thrillers to supernatural clashes and historical epics, Netflix adult animation 2025 offers something for every fan. With Splinter Cell: Deathwatch premiering October 14, and Devil May Cry Season 2 already confirmed for 2026, the platform is making its strongest case yet for being the home of mature, ambitious animated storytelling.
