Netflix lines up three romance anime returns for October

The Ramparts of Ice, Blue Box and My Happy Marriage all add new episodes this autumn

15 September 2026 · Grace Fairbanks · Netflix

Fresh seasons land on the streamer

Netflix has confirmed October dates for three returning romance anime titles. The Ramparts of Ice Season 2 starts 1 October, Blue Box Season 2 follows on 4 October, and My Happy Marriage adds special episodes on 25 October. All three drop new episodes weekly after their launch dates.

What each series brings

The Ramparts of Ice follows four friends whose feelings cross and miss across high-school years. Season 2 picks up as one pair edges closer while another character finally speaks up after years of silence. Blue Box shifts to shared housing when a badminton player’s crush moves in; Season 2 introduces a new character who complicates the living arrangement. My Happy Marriage special episodes continue the Taisho-era story of a mistreated young woman who finds strength and an unexpected marriage.

How UK viewers can watch

All three titles stream globally on Netflix from their stated dates. If you already pay for Netflix through a broadband or mobile bundle, check whether your provider’s package includes the service before the first episodes arrive. Our guide to current TV bundles shows the main options.

Why the timing matters

October sits between the summer holiday lull and the bigger winter slate, giving subscribers a steady run of weekly episodes without waiting for a full season drop. The three series target different tones—slow-burn drama, sports romance and period fantasy—so most households will find at least one that fits their usual viewing.
