12 additional episodes were added weekly. Crunchyroll began streaming the English dub of the first 12 episodes of the series on February 1, 2017. Due to Sentai still owning the rights to the first two series, Crunchyroll chose to dub the most recent series, Gintama°, which consists of Episodes 266 to 316. On July 1, 2016, Crunchyroll announced that they would be releasing the series on Blu-ray and DVD with an English dub.

The Movie's release performed well, and Sentai Filmworks announced that based on the film's performance, they would consider releasing more of the series in North America, possibly with an English dub. Sentai's release was subtitle-only, with Gintama: The Movie being the only part of the series which they dubbed. Sentai also had the second season licensed, but the releases stalled before finishing. The first two seasons of the Gintama series were initially licensed by Sentai Filmworks, which released the first season across 4 volumes from Apto February 22, 2011.
