The seventh season first premiered in Japan on May 4, 2024. No new episode aired this week due to coverage of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.
Kenji Nagasaki (returning, director of the first three seasons) is serving as the chief director of season seven, with Naomi Nakayama (Koikimo; Orange chief director; My Hero Academia Episode 78, 83, and 87 storyboard artist, My Hero Academia Episode 64 director) as director, Yoshihiko Umakoshi (returning) and Hitomi Odashima (returning) as character designers, Yuki Hayashi (returning) as music composer.

Twenty-one total episodes are scheduled to broadcast. Crunchyroll, Ani-One Asia, bilibili, and iQIYI are some of the streaming platforms releasing the show worldwide, outside of Japan. The long-running TV anime adaptation first aired in 2016, with the most recent sixth season airing from October 2022 to March 2023.
Kohei Horikoshi’s original superhero action manga series was first serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on July 7, 2014 and ended on August 5, 2024. Forty-one tankobon volumes have been released as of August 2024, with a 42nd and final volume due out later this December. VIZ Media releases the manga in English for North America.
The series has also inspired several manga spinoffs, video games, and four anime films, with the most recent My Hero Academia The Movie: You’re Next premiering in Japan on August 2, 2024.
Crunchyroll describes the synopsis of the anime’s seventh season as:
Society has crumbled, along with its faith in heroes, with the all-out battle causing great damage. With the heroes defeated, Shigaraki, All For One, and others plot their takeover. As the final battle draws near, Deku, along with his U.A. classmates and other heroes, including one from America, come together to face this onslaught. Will it be enough to restore peace?
