The upcoming anime adaptation of Undead Unluck is scheduled to come out sometime in 2023, but the creators haven't dropped a specific release date yet.

It is believed that more details about the show will be announced at the upcoming AnimeJapan 2023 convention, scheduled for March 25, 2023.
It was announced on August 2022 that an anime for Undead Unluck will be happening, which is to be produced and planned by TMS Entertainment.

"All Fuuko wants is a passionate romance like the one in her favorite shojo manga. Unfortunately, her Unluck ability makes that impossible. But just as Fuuko hits rock bottom, Andy sweeps her off her feet—literally!"
It continues:
"Now she’s become Andy’s unwilling test subject as he works to find a way to trigger a stroke of Unluck big enough to kill him for good. However, when the pair discovers a secret organization is hunting them, it puts Andy’s burial plans on hold."
