Quick update for Detective Conan fans: TMS Entertainment confirmed that Netflix and Crunchyroll add the second wave of the “FBI Intervention” curated episode collection on August 1, 2026, expanding the batch that first launched May 1 with never-before-released-in-the-U.S. episodes.
What changed
“FBI Intervention” is the third specially curated selection TMS has built for international audiences, following “Conan vs. The Black Organization” (July 2025) and “Rivals of the Great Detective” (November 2025). The collection focuses on episodes tied to the FBI characters — the announcement specifically teases material involving Shuichi Akai and his ongoing conflict with the Black Organization, a fan-favorite thread that rarely got official U.S. distribution before this initiative.
The full FBI Intervention set spans episodes 170-171, 226-227, 258-259, 277-278, 279-280, and 307-308 from the overall series. The first 12 of those episodes went up on May 1, 2026; the August 1 drop adds the remaining episodes from that same numbered set, all newly available in the U.S. for the first time.
As with the prior two curated collections, these episodes stream in Japanese with subtitles alongside a new English dub produced by Studio Nano — a separate dub cast from the earlier Bang Zoom! and Funimation-era localizations longtime fans may already know.
What’s next
TMS has not announced a date for a fourth curated collection yet, but the pattern so far has been roughly one new themed batch every few months, each expanding with a follow-up drop weeks or months later. If FBI Intervention follows the same rhythm as “Rivals of the Great Detective,” expect another announcement before the end of the year.
Where the franchise stands
Detective Conan (also known as Case Closed) has been airing in Japan since 1996 with well over 1,000 episodes, but large stretches of that catalog were never officially released for U.S. streaming. TMS’s curated-collection strategy, kicked off in mid-2025, is a workaround: rather than licensing the entire back catalog at once, it packages specific arcs — organization intrigue, rival detectives, now FBI storylines — so new viewers can jump into thematically complete mini-arcs without needing all 1,000-plus episodes available.
Should you watch now?
If you’ve been following the Black Organization mythology and stalled out because key Akai-focused episodes were never streaming, this is your unlock — go in with the May 1 batch first if you haven’t already, then pick up the August 1 additions in the same numbered order. New to Conan entirely? These curated FBI episodes reference a lot of ongoing continuity, so they work best as a bonus arc for viewers already a few hundred episodes deep rather than a starting point.
