Science SARU Returns for a New Ghost in the Shell Project

Science SARU is making another Ghost in the Shell animation. The franchise's official website announced the project on October 23, confirming that the studio behind this year's TV series will handle animation production again.

The working title is Ghost in the Shell, based on Shirow Masamune's manga. The announcement does not specify a format, release window or story, so it is too early to call it a second season or a film.

An announcement on paper

The reveal arrived through flyers distributed at the press preview for OPEN HOUSE at DOVER STREET MARKET GINZA in Tokyo. The public event took place on October 24. A signing session with TV-series director Mokochan accompanied the GEEKS RULE clothing collaboration.

The new flyer keeps the image almost weightless: pale blue circuitry, layered mechanical forms and dark lettering announcing production. It gives the project a visual identity without revealing its characters or setting.

A look back at the TV series

The other three images here belong to Science SARU's earlier TV adaptation, which began broadcasting and streaming in July 2026. Their printed July dates refer to that series. They are included as visual context, rather than artwork from the newly announced production.

The embedded official trailer also comes from the 2026 TV series. Further details about the new project will be announced through Bandai Namco Filmworks' official channels.
