My Hero Academia season 8 release date speculation and latest news
Kohei Horikoshi's fan-favourite anime is coming to an end – but when?
We have a new trailer for My Hero Academia, with the anime officially set to come to an end this year.
The new trailer teases a bittersweet ending to Deku's arc, with new key art of our hero being released.
The series asks the question – in a world where almost everyone has a superpower (or Quirks, in the My Hero Academia universe), what’s it like to be someone who doesn’t?
Enter protagonist Izuku Midoriya, a boy with no powers but who dreams of becoming a superhero all the same. A familiar premise, but it hasn’t stopped fans from enjoying the superhero series for 41 volumes and eight whole seasons.
But what’s next on the horizon for My Hero Academia? Read on to learn everything we know about My Hero Academia season 8, including plot details and release date.
My Hero Academia season 8 release date speculation
My Hero Academia season 8 will premiere in October 2025. We don't have a specific release date just yet but we'll update this page when that news is announced.
For now, at least we don't have too long to wait! Plus, we have a series to tide us over.
Fans will be able to watch spin-off anime My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, which is set for release on 7th April 2025.
What could be the My Hero Academia season 8 plot?
We don't have an official synopsis for My Hero Academia season 8 just yet, but we'd expect it to wrap up the Final War arc.
If we were to speculate, we would also assume that season 8 would wrap up the final beats that season 7 isn’t able to conclude, such as the end of the battle at Okuto Island, the Jaku Hospital ruins that lead to the villains being arrested, and the reveal of All For One’s origins.
Who could be in the My Hero Academia season 8 cast?
While we don’t know the entire cast for My Hero Academia season 8, we know which main characters appear in the manga's final arc. Look away now if you don’t wish to be spoiled about the series.
We'd expect the following characters to appear and these cast members to return:
- Izuku Midoriya (Daiki Yamashita/Justin Briner)
- Katsuki Bakugo (Nobuhiko Okamoto/Clifford Chaplin)
