The release date of the Oshi no Ko live action has been confirmed in a new teaser video, and with it comes a new visual that shows fan-favorite characters such as Aqua Hoshino and Mem-Cho.
As the release date approaches, the live-action series is expected to closely follow the manga’s storyline, capturing the intense drama and unexpected twists that have made the series a huge hit.
Oshi no Ko Live-Action Series Gets November Release Date
On November 28, the Oshi no Ko live-action series will begin streaming its eight episodes, which will follow the story of the beloved idol Ai Hoshino and her twin babies in front of and behind the cameras.
The live-action series' staff released a new teaser trailer featuring the cast, including Kaito Sakurai (Ryu Sanada in the Kimi ni Todoke live action) as Aqua, Nanoka Hara (Suzume Iwato in Suzume) as Arima, Nagisa Saito as Ruby, and Mizuki Kayashima (Nozomi Yazawa in My Girlfriend's Child live action) as Akane.

Where to Watch the Oshi no Ko Live Action
The Oshi no Ko live-action series will be available on Amazon Prime Video worldwide on November 28. It will include English subtitles, although it is unclear whether the series will be dubbed in English.
Following the debut of the live-action series on Prime Video, the sequel film is scheduled to hit theaters on December 20, but it is unclear whether this will be limited to Japan.
As of writing, there is no word on whether other streaming services such as Netflix and Crunchyroll will pick up the live-action series when it premieres.
What to Expect from the Oshi no Ko Live Action
Based on the teaser trailer alone, it appears that the Oshi no Ko live-action series will likely adapt events from the anime's first season.
If this is the case, the upcoming live-action series would include four story arcs from the manga series, perhaps beginning with the Prologue: Childhood arc and ending with the First Concert arc.
This means viewers will most likely be able to see Ai Hoshino's heartbreaking fate, the reincarnation of Gorou Amemiya and his patient Sarina Tendouji, and Ruby and Aqua Hoshino's distinct ways of honoring their mother.
So far, there is no indication whether the eight-episode series will feature the 2.5D Stage Play arc, also known as the Tokyo Blade arc.
