When Will Classroom of the Elite Season 4 Be Released?
Production for Classroom of the Elite Season 4 has been confirmed following the conclusion of Season 3’s broadcast in Japan. However, an official release window has yet to be established. Anticipation builds as updates may emerge at AnimeJapan, planned for March. If developments are announced, it’s plausible that the new season may debut late in 2025 or early in 2026.
Having concluded the narrative of the first year with Season 3, Season 4 marks the transition into adaptations from Year 2. Fans eager to delve into the storyline can access the novels, as Seven Seas has made up to Year 2 Volume 10 available in English, with the remaining volumes (11-12.5) expected soon.
Although several manga adaptations exist, audience reception has generally been lukewarm; therefore, readers seeking substance are encouraged to engage with the novels instead of the manga adaptations.
For viewers interested in watching Classroom of the Elite, it’s accessible for streaming on Crunchyroll, with both subbed and dubbed versions available in multiple languages.
