Airing at a live-streamed event in Japan in September.
Naruto fans will have four new episodes to look forward to streaming this fall. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the anime, based on the famous namesake manga, the episodes will add to the storyline of the original series.
The anime adaptation began airing in October 2002. After five years, it began airing as Naruto Shippuden, which ran for another 10, spanning exactly 500 episodes before it officially ended in 2017.
Naruto has also been adapted into several films, with a live-action version currently in the works, but hasn’t received any more anime since Shippuden.
The news of the new episodes was announced via the official Naruto Twitter account. Episodes will premiere first during a live-streamed event on September 3 at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba, Japan.
In other entertainment news, Daniel Radcliffe addressed the possibility of appearing on HBO’s Harry Potter series.
