Spice & Wolf's big reboot anime has finally landed a release date!

By Nick Valdez

Spice & Wolf is gearing up to return with a new rebooted anime series later this Spring, and now the new anime has finally set a release date! In celebration of the franchise's 15th anniversary, a new anime adapting Isuna Hasekura and Ju Ayakura's original Spice & Wolf light novel series is returning to screens to pick up from where that original anime adaptation left off all those years ago. Previously announced to be making its debut later this April as part of the Spring 2024 anime schedule, now fans know when exactly to tune into the premiere of this big reboot. 

Spice & wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf will be officially premiering on April 1st in Japan, and Crunchyroll will be exclusively streaming the new anime in outside territories alongside its debut. While it will be bringing back the main voice actors behind Kraft and Holo seen in that first anime, it's being considered as a brand new anime series. It will also feature some staff from the previous adaptation, but will also feature some new faces. To help celebrate the release date, you can check out the updated poster for Spice & Wolf's new anime below:
