'One Punch Man' Season 2 Episode 1 Air Date, Spoilers: Series Reportedly Leaving Netflix Even Before Upcoming Installment Hits

With “One Punch Man” season 2 Episode 1 confirmed to drop sometime in April of 2019, the news that the show will potentially be pulled from Netflix's media library may be the worst news for fans who subscribe to the streaming service.

The rumor was recently broken by an unoffical source that has followed the trends of Anime programming on Netflix, posting on Twitter about “One Punch Man's” alleged departure from the streaming service. The third-party-developed Netflix search engine, Flixboss, also confirms the pull-out date for “One Punch Man” on Oct. 20. But fans do not have to scramble in fear that they will be unable to watch “One Punch Man” season 2 episode 1 when it hits airwaves.

An official announcement about the series's future on Netflix has yet to come from the streaming service's social media channels. While not a confirmation that the show will stay with Netflix past Oct. 20, there may be other reasons why the show is up for removal from the list of available programming even with “One Punch Man” season 2 episode 1's scheduled announcement.

There is a possibility that the licensing deals between Viz Media and Netflix are still undergoing negotiations. And even if Netflix does pull “One Punch Man” from its roster, there is a possibility that it returns for broadcast just in time for “One Punch Man” season 2 episode 1 but with dubs aside from subs.

While fans who are heartbroken that they might not get a chance to watch “One Punch Man” season 2 episode 1 on Netflix when it comes out next year, Hulu subscribers have it a lot easier, with the streaming service gaining the rights to air the dubbed version of “One Punch Man.”

Fans looking forward to the show's upcoming installment can catch “One Punch Man” season 2 episode 1 when it airs sometime in April 2019.
