Hulu Unveils New Original Anime Series Cat’s Eye, A Modern Take on an ’80s Classic

Hulu is bringing a beloved ’80s classic back to life with its new original anime series, Cat’s Eye. The 12-part series is a new adaptation of Tsukasa Hojo’s best-selling manga and will premiere on Hulu on September 26.

The show will be available to stream on both Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. This new production from Liden Films aims to honor the original manga and the iconic 1980s anime series produced by TMS, while also reimagining the story for a new generation of viewers.

The series follows the three Kisugi sisters—Hitomi, Rui, and Ai—who lead a double life. By day, they run a small, unassuming establishment called the Cat’s Eye Café. By night, they transform into a notorious group of high-stakes art thieves, known as “Cat’s Eye,” in a quest to recover their long-lost father’s artwork. The plot thickens as one of the sisters, Hitomi, is in a relationship with Toshio, a detective who is dedicated to catching the elusive thieves. The series chronicles their thrilling heists and the suspenseful, cat-and-mouse game between Hitomi and her partner.

The series has an English dubbed adaptation that will be made available for the premiere.
