A November 3 release, announced in June

Netflix set November 3, 2026 as the release date for Bass X Machina in its June 23 anime slate announcement. This is the scheduled launch, rather than a newly revealed series.

The official UK title page lists the 2026 series with six episodes and a 15 rating. It follows Bass Reeves and his family through a fictional frontier shaped by machinery and supernatural threats.

How long is the first season?

The displayed episode lengths are 40, 29, 35, 33, 35 and 35 minutes. Added together, those rounded listings total 207 minutes, or 3 hours and 27 minutes; actual playback lengths may differ slightly.

Who is behind it?

LeSean Thomas created the series, with animation by Studio Mir. Brian Tyree Henry is an executive producer and leads the cast; the UK listing also names Tati Gabrielle and Cree Summer.
