HOUSTON, TX - JULY 1, 2026 - Summer time is here and HIDIVE is bringing fans a fun-filled season of English dubs. AMC Global Media's popular streaming service revealed today this year's "Summer of Dubs" ahead of its anime showcase at this weekend's Anime Expo 2026. Every week and all summer long, HIDIVE will drop brand new English dub episodes from its exciting line-up of fan favorites, hit franchises and highly-anticipated debuts, including both new Summer 2026 and recent Spring 2026 simulcasts exclusively available on the streaming service. HIDIVE's "Summer of Dubs" offers something for every fan and spans a wide range of its most popular genres, from isekai, rom-com and fantasy to slice-of-life, action and drama. All of which will be available to HIDIVE subscribers throughout the U.S. and Canada as well as in key overseas markets.
The 2026 edition of HIDIVE's "Summer of Dubs" just kicked off with the hilarious rom-com and spring simulcast series Yowayowa Sensei. Following Yowayowa Sensei, the "Summer of Dubs" continues with the franchise theatrical release The Dangers in My Heart: The Movie on July 14, followed by English dubs of HIDIVE's entire Summer 2026 Simulcast Season line-up, starting first with the 2nd Season of the hit isekai action series HELL MODE: The Hardcore Gamer Dominates in Another World with Garbage Balancing on August 5 and then finishing off with two of this year's highly anticipated new series, the gourmet slow-life isekai The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Road Trip in Another World and the historical period drama The World Is Dancing, later in August.
In addition to these five new English dubs, HIDIVE's "Summer of Dubs" also includes four continuing English dubs, namely, slice-of-life isekai series Farming Life in Another World 2, supernatural action series Petals of Reincarnation, fantasy series The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior Season 2 and rom-com series Kirio Fan Club, with new dub episodes for each dropping every Wednesday. And as with HIDIVE's entire library, all previously released dub episodes from these series are available on demand for fans to enjoy at any time.
HIDIVE's "Summer of Dubs" lets fans beat the heat with an exciting slate of new and continuing English dubs of the very best anime with fresh dub episodes every week all season long.
