My Hero Academia Season 8 will air during the Fall 2025 season. The announcement was made during the series’ stage at Jump Festa ’25. An anime adaption for the franchise’s spin-off series My Hero Academia: Vigilantes was also announced along with a trailer and key visual reveal. Vigilantes will air in April 2025.
The upcoming season will be the last one of the anime with studio BONES continuing to handle the animation production. Season 7 received positive reviews after it finished airing in early October.
The manga by Kohei Horikoshi concluded in August. Horikoshi later announced that he is currently working on a new manga based on recent My Hero Academia events. “I feel really lucky over the success of My Hero Academia,” said Horikoshi. “So I know there’s a lot of pressure around my next move. I’m planning to start a new manga as soon as I possibly can.”
The recent film My Hero Academia: You’re Next became the highest-grossing film of the series with over $32.1 million earned at the worldwide box office. The other three films include My Hero Academia: Two Heroes (2018), My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising (2019), and My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission (2021).
Crunchyroll is streaming My Hero Academia with English subtitles and dubbed and describes the plot as:
Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
