The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.: Reawakened will last six episodes that will last 24 minutes each. Featuring returning director Hiroaki Sakurai for EGG FIRM and J.C.

New cast additions include Kousuke Toriumi as Takumi Iguchi, and Nao Tohyama as Hii Suzumiya.
Netflix describes the new series as such, “High school student Kusuo Saiki has supernatural powers including telepathy, psychokinesis, fluoroscopy prediction and so on. The strongest power actually brings misery for him. Therefore he seals his superpowers when he is in front of others and tries not to stand out or get involved with people. But, for some reason, his friends, families and all living creatures always gathered around him then something unexpected happened.”
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K was first created by Shuichi Aso for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2012. The manga run of the series officially came to an end earlier this year, though a sequel in the form of a 4-panel manga had begun releasing shortly thereafter. The story follows Kusuo Saiki, a high school student who was born with psychic abilities. Having to wear antenna on his head to subdue his power, Saiki struggles to live a normal life and chooses to hide his abilities around his classmates in order to do so.
