Science SARU and Production I.G. officially announced the development of a brand new Ghost in the Shell anime.
Gizmodo reports that the forthcoming series currently has a working title of The Ghost in the Shell with a premiere year of 2026. The show will mark the first anime entry in the long-running franchise since 2020’s Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, which took place in the franchise’s Stand Alone Complex universe. The Netflix show received mainly negative reviews and featured a total of two seasons.
Ghost in the Shell was first published as a seinen manga in 1989 by Masamune Shirow and focused on Public Security Section 9, a counter-cyberterrorist organization led by Major Motoko Kusanagi. It went on to spawn four more mangas, five animated films, a negatively-received live-action movie starring Scarlett Johansson and four animated series.
