As a lifelong aficionado of anime with a penchant for all things gothic and supernatural, I must say that the upcoming adaptation of Black Butler: The Emerald Witch Arc has me absolutely thrilled! It’s been far too long since we’ve seen new episodes of this masterpiece, and the thought of Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis gracing our screens once more is a joy beyond words.
After a long hiatus of more than 10 years without an anime adaptation, Black Butler made a stunning return to popularity following the airing of the Public School Arc in 2024. This revival has set the series on a successful path, and fans can look forward to the upcoming adaptation of the beloved Emerald Witch Arc in 2025. The new season is being produced by CloverWorks, with Kenjirou Okada returning as director. To celebrate this exciting news, the official Black Butler account shared a special promotional video on platform X.
Initially penned by Yana Toboso back in 2006, the manga was first published under Square Enix’s G Fantasy Comics banner within their Monthly GFantasy magazine. After almost two decades, the series continues to thrive and boasts a total of 34 volumes available. The upcoming adaptation, titled “Emerald Witch Arc”, will draw from volumes 18 through 22 of the original work.

In the eighth narrative arc of “Black Butler,” titled “The Emerald Witch Arc,” we find ourselves following the adventures of Ciel and Sebastian, as they are dispatched to Germany to unravel a string of baffling deaths. While the Phantomhive family is bound by oath to safeguard Queen Victoria and uncover mysteries within England, the allure of solving this enigma pulls the Earl inexorably towards it. This intrigue deepens upon reading a letter that hints at the victims undergoing grotesque transformations prior to their agonizing demise. Despite the Queen’s attempts to send medical aid to address this affliction, no response has been received.
Black Butler Is a Masterclass Supernatural Mystery With a Gorgeous Goth Aesthetic
Black Butler gained widespread acclaim among Western anime enthusiasts when A-1 Pictures’ adaptation was launched in 2008. However, its true success can be attributed to how well it resonated with popular aesthetics within the anime community. The captivating character of Sebastian Michaelis, a charming bishounen, and the characters’ striking Victorian gothic attire, made Black Butler an immediate sensation.
The central plot revolves around Ciel Phantomhive, a 12-year-old Earl, who collaborates with Queen Victoria to solve mysteries in England that frequently border on the supernatural. Accompanying him is Sebastian Michaelis, his enigmatic butler, who happens to be a demon bound to Ciel in a pact. The tale also includes peculiar grim reapers, seemingly ordinary house staff with hidden powers, and an eccentric undertaker who transforms into a significant adversary, making it one of the most creatively imaginative fantasy-thrillers.
