Blue Exorcist's Shimane Illuminati Saga lands on Netflix in the U.S. and U.K. on Nov. 25, a month after the show came back from a three-year Netflix break. Here's every other anime arriving this month.
Rin Okumura is getting a promotion on Netflix.
Blue Exorcist Season 3, officially titled the Shimane Illuminati Saga, arrives on Netflix on Wednesday, Nov. 25, What's on Netflix reported Thursday. It's coming to multiple regions, including the U.S. and U.K.
Right now, Netflix in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia carries only one season, Season 2, the Kyoto Saga. The show only came back to Netflix U.S. in October after a three-year break, What's on Netflix said. So this is a fast upgrade.
Fair warning for completists: Season 1 still isn't listed in the U.S. You'll be starting in the middle and catching up on vibes.
What is Blue Exorcist Season 3 about?
Blue Exorcist adapts Kazue Kato's manga, called Ao no Ekusoshisuto in Japan. It follows Rin Okumura, a teen who learns he's the son of Satan and decides to become an exorcist anyway. Bold career move.
In the Shimane Illuminati Saga, a secret group called the Illuminati goes after Rin's classmate Izumo Kamiki and her family's heritage for its experiments. Renzo Shima turns out to be a double agent. Rin and his fellow Exwires head to Shimane on a rescue mission.
Studio VOLN animated this season. A-1 Pictures made the first two seasons.
Netflix hasn't said how many episodes are coming or which dub and subtitle options it'll have. Check the title page on Nov. 25.
Will Netflix get more Blue Exorcist seasons?
Netflix hasn't announced that for the U.S. Netflix Japan already lists five seasons, and Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand carry Seasons 3 through 5, What's on Netflix reported.
So the later seasons exist on Netflix. They just haven't made the trip to the U.S. yet. The show has also been added to and pulled from Netflix several times, so if you want to watch, don't put it off.
What other anime is coming to Netflix in November 2026?
A lot. Here's what What's on Netflix and its November list show for the U.S.:
Bass X Machina (Season 1): out now since Nov. 3. A Netflix original from Studio Mir and creator LeSean Thomas, set in a lawless steampunk West.
One Piece (new episodes): Nov. 15, the last Whole Cake Island episodes.
Black Butler (Seasons 1 and 2): Nov. 15. Ciel Phantomhive and his demon butler solve crimes in Victorian London.
My Hero Academia (new season): Nov. 19. What's on Netflix calls it the "missing season."
Blue Exorcist (Season 3): Nov. 25.
Fool Night (Season 1): Nov. 26. A Netflix original from Sunrise and Shaft about a future where people can be turned into plants that make oxygen.
Which anime gets new episodes every week on Netflix?
Several shows are mid-season and drop weekly, per What's on Netflix:
Ranma 1/2 (Season 3): Saturdays, through Dec. 19
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus: Saturdays, through about Feb. 20, 2027
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run: Fridays, through Dec. 4
The Ramparts of Ice (Season 2): Thursdays, through Dec. 31
Snowball Earth: Thursdays
Blue Box (Season 2): Mondays, through about March 14, 2027
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus and Ranma 1/2 are the easiest family crossover picks here. Fool Night and Blue Exorcist deal with darker stuff, like demons and people turned into plants, so parents may want to preview them.
What other cartoons are new on Netflix this month for kids?
If the younger crew wants something on the TV, too, Netflix's November list includes:
Barbie in the Nutcracker (Nov. 1)
Masha and the Bear Season 6 (Nov. 2)
The Elf on the Shelf: Scout Elf Squad (Nov. 4)
Doozie's Doghouse (Nov. 9), a preschool spinoff
Bread Barbershop Season 5 (Nov. 19)
Steps (Nov. 20), an animated musical
That's enough to split the remote fairly. Probably.
