The expansion of the Naruto property is underway as we had talked recently about it appearing at more services internationally. We saw that happen back in the fall of 2019 as the original Naruto series started getting streamed as part of the Funimation UK platform which on October 15th, 2019. This brought the five-season run from 2002 to 2007 to fans there at long last.
Now, Funimation has secured the 220-episode run for their US and Canadian rights on their service which will definitely provide an expanded reach for the property. If you’re ending up in lockdown again, this may be the best time to learn how to #BelieveIt.
Property Concept: Deep within the Hidden Leaf Village, sharp and cunning Ninja possess an ultimate power while Naruto Uzumaki carries inside the ultimate secret. Twelve years ago, the fourth Hokage sacrificed himself and saved the village by sealing the Nine-tailed Fox Spirit an orphaned baby boy. Now, this plucky prankster must do what it takes to achieve this life-long goal and become the next Hokage!
Whether the first time or the 50th time, witness the beginning of his journey.
