Netflix will stream the series worldwide starting on November 28.

The anime stars:

• Kenji Hamada as Imperial Prince Atsumi
• Yui Ishikawa as Tsuyuko
• Daisuke Namikawa as Abe Seimei
• Shintarō Asanuma as Minamoto Hiromasa
• Rina Satou as Ashiya Doman

Soubi Yamamoto (Meganebu!, This Boy/Kono Danshi series) is directing the anime, and Natsu Hashimoto (Oshiete Hokusai!: The Animation) and Yuiko Katō (Agū: Tensai Ningyō) are writing the scripts. Marvy Jack is producing the anime.

Yumemakura first wrote the franchise as a series of short stories starting in 1986. He then wrote three full-length novels for the franchise, in 2000-2008. The book series also includes several picture books.

The stories take place in a fictional version of Japan's Heian period, and center on the real-life onmyōji Abe no Seimei.

The novels inspired the Onmyōji and Onmyoji II live-action films in 2001 and 2003. Reiko Okano drew a 13-volume manga adaptation of the series starting in 1994. The books have also inspired several live-action series in Japan.
