First we have an Kamen Rider W anime titled Fuuto PI, which will be adapting the manga of the same name. This series is a sequel to the original series.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the legendary Kamen Rider franchise, production of an animated series based on the manga FUUTO PI (風都探偵)has been announced. Published in Weekly Big Comic Spirits, the FUUTO PI manga series is an official sequel to the popular Heisei-era Kamen Rider W (Double) special effects hero drama.
Starring Renn Kiriyama (as Shotaro Hidari) and Masaki Suda (as his buddy, Philip), Kamen Rider W (Double), debuting in 2009, was the 11th Kamen Rider series produced during the Heisei Era. A hard-boiled detective buddy drama, the series was acclaimed for its dramatic story lines and stylish action scenes, becoming one of the most popular series of the entire franchise. The manga FUUTO PI, serialized in Weekly Big Comic Spirit, continued the Kamen Rider W story in a format that appeals to adult readers.
Maintaining the elaborate settings and eclectic worldview of Kamen Rider W (Double) and FUUTO PI, the new FUUTO PI animated series will take viewers deep into the story, with a compelling feeling of power and speed made possible by the magic of animation.

Kamen Rider (original work by Shotaro Ishinomori) was first broadcast on TV Asahi affiliates in 1971. For half a century, from the original Showa Era series through Kamen Rider Saber, the second series of the Reiwa Era, successive incarnations of the Masked Rider superhero have entertained viewers of all ages. Now, in 2021, the Kamen Rider series marks its 50th anniversary.
Commemorating this 50th Anniversary milestone, a remake of the highly popular Kamen Rider Black series has been announced. A new interpretation of a story steeped in the pathos of the hero's harsh fate, Kamen Rider Black returns to the screen after a hiatus of more than 30 years, reincarnated as Kamen Rider Black Sun.
Commissioned for the logo, calligrapher Souun Takeda has created a powerful image that embodies the heroic worldview of the new series.
Named as director for this project is master filmmaker Kazuya Shiraishi, known for hit films including Kyoaku and The Blood of Wolves. Inspired by the Kamen Rider Black series released in 1987, Shiraishi will adopt an innovative perspective for his all-new interpretation of the legendary hero, Kamen Rider BLACK SUN.
Comments from the director:
This series will air Spring 2022
The final announcement is a Shin Kamen RIder movie by Hideaki Anno releasing March 2023
