Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe is set to arrive on Netflix on August 31. This release follows a successful theatrical run that saw the film debut at #1 in Japan this past January, earning over 2.3 billion yen during its domestic tenure. The film previously held limited screenings in U.S. theaters this past May, featuring both English-subtitled and dubbed options.
Directed by a returning creative team, the sequel maintains the high production standards established by its predecessor. While the film stays true to the core narrative established in Yoshiyuki Tomino’s original novels, producer Naohiro Ogata has noted that the second entry introduces specific deviations from the source material to refine the adaptation. The film also features a notable musical inclusion, with American R&B artist SZA’s hit "Snooze" serving as the opening theme.
This project represents the second chapter of the planned trilogy. The story picks up with Hathaway Noa caught between his mission with the anti-Earth Federation organization MAFTY and his complicated feelings for Gigi Andalucia. As Kenneth Sleg prepares to suppress the insurgent group, the film promises to escalate the series' signature blend of political drama and intense mecha combat. The first film in the series, which marked the first Gundam movie to surpass 1 billion yen at the box office since 1988, remains available on the platform for those looking to catch up before the new installment drops.
