NHK Enterprises arrives at MIPCOM 2026 with a diverse slate spanning factual programming, science and technology, arts and culture, drama, manga-related series and children’s content. Leading the offering is Amazing Dinoworld III, the third installment of the factual franchise, currently in production and comprising two 49-minute episodes. The series revisits the evolutionary history of Tyrannosauruses and Triceratops, using newly discovered fossils, immersive CGI and the latest scientific research to explore how two iconic dinosaurs came to dominate the ecosystems of ancient North America.
The factual selection also includes THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD Sagrada Familia: The Tower of Jesus Christ, a 52-minute arts and culture documentary currently in production.

NHK had exclusive access to document the project over 15 years, with the production filmed using specially developed 8K cameras.
On the scripted side, Blossom is a new NHK Morning Drama Series portraying the life of Hano Tama, a woman born in Japan in 1897 who pursues her dream of becoming a writer despite social restrictions, personal losses, war and financial difficulties. The slate also features Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, a crime, mystery and thriller drama based on the manga spin-off of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, with nine episodes plus the spin-off special Izumi Kyoka Will Not Be Silenced.
