Naruto Streaming on BBC iPlayer

BBC iPlayer is now streaming the first 134 TV episodes of the original Naruto series in their English-dubbed version. That amounts to the first three TV seasons, broadcast in Japan from 20025 to 2005, as well as the first three episodes of Naruto Season 4.

The BBC website is also listing the remaining episodes of the original Naruto (not Naruto Shippūden) series. The site is additionally listing all the episodes to date of the sequel series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. However, these episodes are not streaming on BBC iPlayer as of writing.

The later Naruto episodes have an incorrect release date of February 6, and the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations episodes have a listed release date of April 1.

The Naruto franchise includes multiple television anime, anime films, and original video anime. The Naruto television anime aired from 2002 to 2007. The Naruto Shippūden anime sequel series premiered in 2007 and ended in 2017. The Boruto sequel manga inspired the television anime series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations that premiered in April 2017 and ended its first part in March 2023. Part II of the anime has been green-lit.

Grateful thanks to Chris Taylor for the heads-up.
