The new sneak peek video of the first episode of the Witch Hat Atelier anime, shared during IGN Fan Fest 2026, offers a brief and engaging glimpse into the upcoming high-fantasy drama.
The clip introduces Coco, a young and imaginative dressmaker’s daughter who dreams of becoming a witch in a world where magic is a strictly guarded secret reserved only for those born with the innate ability to cast it. In the video, Coco is seen attempting to cast a spell on some hanging sheets, which she hopes will transform into a flying cloak. The lighthearted scene quickly turns more adventurous as she watches a magnificent “Pegasus Carriage” fly over her home, leading to her first encounter with Qifrey, a mysterious and kind magician who is destined to become her mentor.
Produced by BUG FILMS, the animation highlights the series’ dedication to faithfully capturing Kamome Shirahama’s intricate art style, blending delicate linework with lush, painterly backgrounds that evoke the manga’s fairy-tale charm. Originally announced in April 2022 and scheduled for a 2025 release, the series was delayed to ensure the highest possible quality for the adaptation of Kamome Shirahama‘s award-winning manga. Witch Hat Atelier is now confirmed to premiere on April 6, 2026 and will be available for streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll outside of Asia.
