Hulu will stream the fourth season of the anime series Tokyo Revengers as a Hulu original beginning October 2, 2026. Crunchyroll, which traditionally dominates the anime market, does not hold the streaming rights for this new installment.

Why it matters

The move marks a shift in anime distribution as platforms outside of the genre-specialized Crunchyroll seek to secure exclusive rights to high-profile series to bolster their own catalogs. This highlights intensifying competition for anime audiences in the United States.

Crunchyroll maintains a vast library of over 50,000 episodes across at least 1,000 titles. In contrast, Hulu currently hosts over 300 anime titles in its service library.

The players

Hulu

The details

Subscribers must use the Hulu platform to access the fourth season of Tokyo Revengers, as it will be branded as a Hulu original. While Crunchyroll currently hosts the first 24 episodes of the series, it will not carry the new season.

Industry Dynamics

This move signifies a broader industry shift where generalist streaming platforms aggressively pursue exclusive anime rights to compete with specialized leaders. It illustrates how competition for franchise-driven viewership is forcing platforms to diversify their content strategies.

Viewers must have an active subscription to the Hulu platform to access the new season of Tokyo Revengers upon its premiere. Because Crunchyroll does not hold the rights for this season, fans of the series will need to migrate to or maintain a Hulu account to watch.

The takeaway

Anime fans should be prepared for more content fragmentation as major streaming services bid for exclusive rights to popular franchises. Check your current streaming subscriptions to ensure you have access to the specific platforms hosting your favorite series.
