Saori Hayami is a working voice actor with roles in the October 2026 television anime Horror Collector and Magic Knight Rayearth, and is attached to the Cyborg 009: Nemesis and Tank Chair anime. She also appeared on stage with Hiroshi Kamiya at his Share Live tour final on September 5, 2026.
Saori Hayami's recent roles span the fall 2026 anime season. The Horror Collector anime, set to debut on NHK on October 10 with 12 episodes, casts her as Himitsu.

Cyborg 009: Nemesis announced her casting on June 4, completing the main lineup ahead of its summer stream. Tank Chair revealed its main cast and a character promotional video on May 27, with Hayami among the four leads. Dara-san of Reiwa, which premieres July 2, lists her among additional cast members. The concentrated announcements across May and June reflect a season where she is a recurring name in production lineups.

The official SPY x FAMILY anime X account posted video of a drawing song project from the ANIME EXTRA MISSION I event, and the internet responded to what Takuya Eguchi produced.
