Science SARU will return to The Ghost in the Shell. On October 23, the franchise’s official site announced the start of a new animation based on Shirow Masamune’s manga, with the studio again handling animation production.

The announcement also mentions Science SARU’s television series that began in July 2026, but does not formally call this new project a second season. Its title is provisional, and no release format, date or director has been named.

The news first appeared on a flyer handed out at the press preview for the OPEN HOUSE event at Dover Street Market Ginza in Tokyo. The visual layers a face in profile with numbers and electronic interfaces, while NEW ANIMATION PROJECT UNDERWAY states the announcement plainly.

The source manga and studio are confirmed. Which material will be adapted, and whether the story follows the television series, remain unspecified. Further information is expected through Bandai Namco Filmworks’ official channels.
