As of now, the streaming platform is still unknown although plenty of rumors have been hinting at Crunchyroll or Disney+. What we do know is that both the English and Japanese cast are set to return. Lucky fans will get a sneak peak premiere ahead of the Japanese release during the Bleach panel at NewYorkComicCon.
