The much-anticipated sequel to the popular anime series, "Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt," titled "New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt," premiered on Amazon Prime Video on July 10, 2025. The series, produced by Studio Trigger, is currently airing weekly on Wednesdays, with at least six episodes having been aired by mid-August.

The new series maintains the explicit, raunchy style of the original, offering outrageous comedy and fan service. A notable addition to the cast are male angels, whose animated transformations are a new element in the series. The episodes have sparked some controversy due to their explicit sexual content.

The sixth episode, titled "The Brothers from Heaven," features pop culture references, including a nod to John Carpenter's "They Live." The episode introduces two new angel twin characters, Polyester and Polyurethane, who are Panty and Stocking's younger cousins. Polyester and Polyurethane bring a more high-tech approach to the show, disrupting the original dynamic.

In the episode, Gunsmith Bitch, a nerd girl who moonlights as an arms dealer and has a sexual attraction to guns, comes to the aid of Panty and Stocking when Polyester and Polyurethane's Gen-Z angelic tactics disable the girls' divine weapons. Gunsmith Bitch is the show's second Black leading cast member, voiced by Yoshino Aoyama in Japanese and Krysta Gonzales in English.

Junya Enoki and Yūto Uemura voice Polyester and Polyurethane in Japanese, while Hunter McCoy and Corey Wilder voice them in English. The episode explores the generational divide between Millennials and Gen Z, with Panty and Stocking firing back at Polyester and Polyurethane with their own insults, calling the boys "iPad kids."

As the series continues, fans can look forward to more shenanigans from Polyester and Polyurethane when new episodes of "New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt" air every Wednesday on Prime Video. The release schedule so far has been weekly, with the series also airing on Japanese networks such as Tokyo MX, Sun TV, and BS Nippon TV. However, no exact final episode count or end date has been disclosed yet. Stay tuned for more updates on this boundary-pushing comedy series!
