Those of you who can’t make it Japan to see this theatrical version, rest easy: it appears to be a special presentation of footage that’ll eventually be used in Cells at Work!!, the second season of the series, which debuts in January 2021. That second season is not to be confused with the spinoff Cells at Work! Black, also set to premiere in January.

Like the second season, this theatrical film is directed by Hirofumi Ogura (Black Butler II) at David Production.
