The science-fiction thriller Night Head 2041 will make its television premiere this July as part of the Summer 2021 anime season.
Based off the 1992 live-action drama Night Head, the new anime series will follow two sets of brothers. First there’s the Kirihara brothers; siblings with supernatural powers who escaped from a detention facility. Then there’s the Kuroki brothers, siblings who are chasing after the Kiriharas.
This isn’t the first time that Night Head has been adapted into an anime, with Night Head Genesis premiering in 2006 and lasting for 24 episodes.
