English Dub for 'The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince' Arrives February 15th; Full Cast Revealed

Crunchyroll has confirmed the English dub premiere date for the Winter 2026 series The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom. The dubbed version is set to launch on February 15, 2026, bringing Tiararose’s story to a wider audience with a confirmed cast and crew.

The original subtitled broadcast began airing on Tokyo MX and streaming on Crunchyroll starting January 11. This dub announcement solidifies the show's place in the Winter 2026 schedule.

The localization cast features Erin Lundquist as Tiararose, the reincarnated villainess trying to avoid her predetermined bad end. She finds an unexpected ally in Aquasteed, the charming prince from Marinforest, voiced by Bryce Papenbrook. Jonah Scott steps in as Prince Hartknights, rounding out the main trio. Supporting roles include Veronica Taylor, Stephanie Sheh, and Cristina Vee.

On the production side for the dub, Meli Grant is handling direction. Jamie Marchi adapted the script, tasked with keeping the otome game romance intact. The sound mix is being managed by raw meat, Kevin Leen, and Patrick Morphy, with Crunchyroll overseeing the overall production.

The series is animated by Studio Deen and is based on the light novels by Puni-chan, with illustrations by Akeno Naruse. These novels are published through Enterbrain’s B's Log Bunko imprint. The anime takes the standard villainess setup—Tiararose finds herself in her favorite game as the doomed fiancée—but quickly pivots when Prince Aquasteed shows interest in her instead. The original Japanese version is directed by Takayuki Hamana, with character designs by Majiro. Ayahi Takagaki and Yu Shirota performed the opening theme, setting the romantic mood. Fans catching up can still watch the sub now on Crunchyroll.
