- Blue Eye Samurai has been renewed for a third and final season at Netflix, with Season 2 set to premiere in January 2027 after recently completing production.
- Season 3 has begun production and is slated to debut in 2028, capping the three-season run of the animated action series.
- Amber Noizumi and Michael Green, a married creative duo, created the show, which follows mixed-race Japanese warrior Mizu — voiced by Maya Erskine — as she hunts four white men who remained in Japan after the Tokugawa shogunate closed its borders.
- The series debuted on Netflix in 2023 and has won four Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Animated Program for its first season.
- The renewal announcement came with a teaser for Season 2 shared on Thursday.
Why it matters: With production already underway on Season 3 and a January 2027 premiere locked for Season 2, Netflix is closing out the four-time Emmy-winning animated series on its own timeline rather than letting it lapse — giving fans a shorter-than-typical gap between the final two installments.
