Welcome to the NHK Returns with a New Two-Part Film
After nearly two decades since its original broadcast, the iconic anime Welcome to the NHK will make an unexpected return to the big screen. According to sources close to the production, Tatsuhiko Takimoto's work will be adapted into a two-part reboot film, slated for release in the summer of 2026.
The project will feature a revamped cast, although some members of the original cast are expected to reprise their roles. Specific plot details have yet to be revealed, but rumors point to a reimagining more faithful to the light novel, exploring the existential dilemmas of Tatsuhiro Satou and his fight against the NHK conspiracy.
Fans have reacted with both enthusiasm and skepticism on social media, but everything points to this return being one of the most talked-about shows of the coming year. The first trailer is expected to be released in the coming months.
