Dragon Ball Super returns this fall with a reconstructed opening arc titled Dragon Ball Super: Beerus. The remake promises closer manga fidelity, upgraded animation, and a scope that goes beyond the Beerus fight.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is a full TV remake premiering in Fall 2026 (October 11 listed in announcements) and will be released internationally though streaming partners haven’t been officially confirmed.
The remake reconstructs the original opening arcs to better match Akira Toriyama’s manga, with improved animation, color, and fight choreography rather than simple touch-ups.
The project covers more than the Battle of Gods fight: it will adapt Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, and the Universe 6 arc under the same remake umbrella, with further manga-based arcs slated to follow separately.
Dragon Ball Super is being reissued as a reconstructed TV remake called Dragon Ball Super: Beerus. Announcements place the premiere in Fall 2026 (the promos list October 11), and Toei Animation has positioned the project as a newly enhanced take on the franchise's opening material. The goal is to retell the start of Dragon Ball Super with clearer storytelling and updated visuals.
The remake is confirmed for an international release, but no official global streaming partner has been named. Past Dragon Ball premieres have landed on platforms like Crunchyroll, and reports speculate Crunchyroll or regional Netflix windows, but neither platform has been confirmed in official statements cited in the coverage. Episode count and season planning have not been published.
This is presented as more than an HD remaster. ComicBook's reporting highlights three concrete production aims: closer adherence to the manga narrative, upgraded animation quality, and reworked pacing. Promotional trailers show brighter, more polished visuals and tighter fight choreography compared with the original Dragon Ball Super TV run. The project is described as a full reconstruction of story beats rather than reusing and enhancing old animation clips.
How much of the story it will cover
Prisoner arc (the so-called Moro arc in fandom) and other manga-exclusive arcs are planned as future TV projects, but scheduling for those adaptations will come after the remake finishes. Because Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is occupying a fall broadcast slot that replaced another long-running show, reporting indicates that the next new TV arc may not arrive immediately and could be delayed into 2027 or later depending on production and slotting decisions.
Toei and partners have previewed trailers and announced panels tied to major conventions (including a New York Comic Con presentation), which suggests a staggered promotional rollout ahead of and around the premiere. Expect more concrete streaming and episode details to appear in official platform schedules and convention reveals.
Watch for confirmation of the streaming partner and episode schedule, official statements about season length, and any production details released during convention panels. If you follow Dragon Ball releases, the remake's presentation will influence when the manga-based Galactic Patrol Prisoner adaptation can appear on TV.
