On 28 April 2015, Toei Animation officially announced that production was underway on the first all-new TV series for the Dragon Ball franchise in 18 years. The series was later announced for a 05 July 2015 debut on Fuji TV, taking over the Dragon Ball Kai time slot. The series’ story and characters were developed by original manga author Akira Toriyama. Veteran director Kimitoshi Chioka, known for his exquisite storyboard layouts, was brought on-board to direct while Tadayoshi Yamamuro returned as character designer. The majority of the main cast from Dragon Ball Kai and the recent films returned, including Yūko Minaguchi (Videl), Kōichi Yamadera (Beerus), Masakazu Morita (Whis), and Jōji Yanami as the series’ narrator. Beginning with episode 12, Naoki Tatsuta (Oolong) took over narration duties as Jōji Yanami stepped away for health reasons.

The series was announced to, “…follow the aftermath of Goku’s fierce battle with Majin Boo, as he attempts to maintain earth’s fragile peace.” It was later confirmed that the series is set slightly after the showdown with Majin Boo and will link up with the franchise’s most recent movies, Battle of Gods and Resurrection ‘F’. The series’ story begins shortly following the defeat of Majin Boo as a prequel to Battle of Gods, with Son Goku working as a farmer prior to heading off to train with Kaiō as seen at the beginning of the movie and following Beerus waking up to search for “Super Saiyan God”.

On 14 June 2015, a short series preview aired on Fuji TV in tandem with the next episode preview featured in Dragon Ball Kai Episode 157. The preview was later added to the official Dragon Ball Super website and included on the series’ first Blu-ray box set.
