The Remarried Empress TV Anime Airs In 2027 With Yoko Hikasa As Navier
HAYATE, the production company behind the adaptation, was jointly established by Aniplex and Crunchyroll, making this one of the first titles to carry that partnership's output. The cluster lists a full staff and cast months ahead of the 2027 broadcast, but no episode count or release window beyond the year, which is unusual for a first announcement of this size.
