Digimon Turns 30 — a Brand-New TV Anime Series Is Coming in 2027

Article

Digimon is turning 30 — and celebrating with a brand-new TV anime, not just a rerun.

A New Series for the Anniversary

A brand-new Digimon TV anime series was announced August 1, 2026, set to air in 2027, marking the franchise's 30th anniversary since the original Digital Monster virtual pet launched in 1997.

What To Know

A new anniversary series is a meaningful moment for a franchise whose earliest fans grew up alongside the original Digimon Adventure — a brand-new entry made specifically to mark 30 years signals real ongoing investment, not just a nostalgia rerun.

Digimon Adventure (1999) was produced by Toei Animation — see TBM's Toei Animation and Digimon guides for how this franchise connects to the studio's wider portfolio.

What Fans Are Saying
