VIZ Media announced the acquisition of North American and Latin American digital, broadcast, home media and master merchandising rights to the highly-anticipated anime series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is the action-packed continuation of the famed Naruto anime series and focuses on the adventures of the son of the celebrated ninja. Ahead of the next installment of the famed Naruto Shippuden franchise, Hulu subscribers can catch up on the entire Naruto Shippuden collection by visiting the official show page, and future episodes of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations will become available to stream on Hulu.
