Sony Pictures, through the official Sony Pictures social media accounts, have recently confirmed that SCARLET, which if of course the latest anime film from Studio Chizu and Mamoru Hosoda, will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on the 6th February 2026.
SCARLET is the latest anime film from director Mamoru Hosoda, who is known for his works such as BELLE, MIRAI and SUMMER WARS, and features a story that will see a brave princess transcend time and space. Studio Chizu is animating the film, with it being co-financed by Sony Pictures and Nippon TV.
Synopsis: From visionary Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Mamoru Hosoda (MIRAI) comes a powerful, timebending animated adventure. SCARLET, a sword-wielding princess from a war-torn medieval kingdom, sets to avenge her father’s death – but fails, awakening in a mysterious afterlife. There, she meets an idealistic young man from our present day whose compassion challenges her thirst for vengeance. When Scarlet is confronted once more by her father’s killer, she must decide: cling to hatred, or discover a life beyond revenge.
Further details relating to this cinematic release of SCARLET will be revealed at a later date, such as ticket availability and screening locations, but in the meantime SCARLET will be available in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on 6th February 2026.
