AMC Networks announced on Wednesday that HIDIVE and Shudder will begin streaming the Vampire Hunter D original video anime (OVA) on Friday. The release will be available with both English subtitles and an English dub for users in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

HIDIVE, Shudder, Iconic Events Releasing, and and Anime Expo's AX Cinema Nights program screened the OVA in over 600 theaters in the United States and Canada on April 9, 10, and 13 earlier this year to celebrate the anime's 40th anniversary. AX Cinema Nights describes the film:

In the year 12,090 AD, technology and the supernatural have overtaken the world, leaving the land desolate and despotic. The remnants of humanity are scattered into small communities and live in fear of vampires who compose the ruling Nobility. When Count Magnus Lee tastes the blood of Doris Lang, she is forcibly chosen to be his next wife. In an effort to escape her ill-gotten fate, she hires a mysterious vampire hunter known only as D, who comes from a peculiar lineage.

The Vampire Hunter D debuted in Japan in December 1985. Sentai Filmworks has the license to the film, and last released it on Blu-ray Disc in 2022.
