Fans of the classic Naruto series are eagerly awaiting the four new episodes , initially scheduled for September 2023 but indefinitely postponed.

Anime Japan 2025 will take place on March 23rd and 24th , promising to reveal big news. Among expected announcements such as news about Hunter x Hunter , the third season of Jujutsu Kaisen , and a trailer for One Punch Man , the Studio Pierrot booth will be a highlight. Besides bringing possible updates on series like the 5th season of Black Clover, the studio is expected to finally announce new episodes of Naruto.
2025 could mark the return of Naruto:
Although news has been scarce, fans can rest assured knowing that new Naruto episodes remain a priority for the studio. According to a financial review by TV Tokyo , the broadcaster responsible for the franchise, the episodes are expected to be released by March 2025 at the latest. This confirms that the project is underway, and the Anime Japan event would be the ideal time to officially announce the premiere date.
With the third cour of Bleach completed and Studio Pierrot revamping its production processes, the chances of Naruto returning soon are high. Initially, 2023 promised to be a landmark year for fans of the franchise, with the end of the Boruto , the release of the Minato one-shot , and the beginning of the Two Blue Vortex . Unfortunately, the celebratory episodes were postponed due to the studio's heavy workload, which also dealt with production issues on Boruto and the second cour of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War .
Studio Pierrot is expected to announce more news.
Studio Pierrot has already confirmed the adaptation of the manhwa Latna Saga , but other franchises await updates, such as the second part of Boruto , the 10th anniversary of Tokyo Ghoul , and possible news about Yona of the Dawn and Black Clover . With significant changes at the studio, Pierrot's future looks more promising than ever. And what better way to consolidate this new phase than with the triumphant return of Naruto, one of its greatest creations?
