Share

The release date for the upcoming anime Witch Hat Atelier has been confirmed.

A new trailer was released along with the air date of April 6, 2026.

In a world where everyone takes wonders like magic spells and dragons for granted, Coco is a girl with a simple dream: She wants to be a witch. But everybody knows magicians are born, not made, and Coco was not born with a gift for magic. Resigned to her un-magical life, Coco is about to give up on her dream to become a witch…until the day she meets Qifrey, a mysterious, traveling magician. After secretly seeing Qifrey perform magic in a way she’s never seen before, Coco soon learns what everybody “knows” might not be the truth, and discovers that her magical dream may not be as far away as it may seem…

Based on the manga by Kamome Shirahama, Witch Hat Atelier took home the Best Manga award at the Harvey Awards last year. Praised for its complex story and stunning art style, the anime adaptation has been highly anticipated since its announcement about 3 years ago.

The Japanese voice cast has also been announced for many of the main characters:

  • Natsuki Hanae as Qifrey
  • Rena Motomura as Coco
  • Hibiku Yamamura as Agott
  • Kurumi Haruki as Tetia
  • Hika Tsukishiro as Richeh
  • Yuichi Nakamura as Olruggio
  • Misaki Kuno as Brushbuddy
  • Mitsuki Saiga as Iguin

Witch Hat Atelier premieres on April 6, 2026. It will be available to stream on Crunchyroll.
