A little less than a month ago, we told you that a Japanese media outlet confirmed the development of a live-action Oshi no Ko film after catching the actors and actresses involved in the middle of filming. Now, Amazon and Toei confirm this leak with the official announcement of a live action movie and a series for Prime Video.
It will be a project divided into two parts: first, we will have a film that will be released in winter 2024 and that, presumably, will tell everything seen in the pilot episode of the anime, which was an hour and a half long and caused a sensation in the industry.
After this, the work will continue in series form through Amazon Prime Video, thus joining the wave of anime adaptations with which Netflix has achieved success thanks to the adaptations of One Piece and Yu Yu Hakusho. Of course, it is still unknown exactly when the series will begin, but it is expected to begin a few weeks after the film’s premiere.

In turn, Amazon has confirmed that the film could land in Western cinemas if distributors end up buying the license, but for now, its release on the big screen is only assured in Japan. So anyone who wants to see Oshi no Koyou will have the opportunity to see it in three different ways: through its original manga, the anime released in 2023 or the live-action that will be released at the end of 2024.
