Korosensei and his class are returning in anime form on March 20, 2026 JST with the Assassination Classroom: Minna no Jikan (Gekijoban “Ansatsu Kyoshitsu” Minna no Jikan) movie. A teaser trailer and teaser visual have been released.
Japanese media report that the film covers previously unadapted content.
The TV anime’s cast is reprising their roles for the film. The staff credits include:
• Director: Masaki Kitamura (Gundam Evolve Episode 10, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 co-assistant director)
• Scriptwriter: Makoto Uezu (Assassination Classroom TV anime series composer and scriptwriter)
• Character designer: Aya Higami (After-school Hanako-kun co-character designer)
• Animation production: Lerche
The Assassination Classroom anime are inspired by the manga by Yusei Matsui, which ran in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump from 2012 to 2016. Viz Media describes the premise as:
Meet the would-be assassins of class 3-E: Sugino, who let his grades slip and got kicked off the baseball team. Karma, who’s doing well in his classes but keeps getting suspended for fighting. And Okuda, who lacks both academic and social skills, yet excels at one subject: chemistry. Who has the best chance of winning that reward? Will the deed be accomplished through pity, brute force or poison…? And what chance does their teacher have of repairing his students’ tattered self-esteem?
The new anime film is the third and last of the anime’s 10th anniversary projects (Season 1 premiered in 2015), which started to be announced in 2024. The first project was the rebroadcast of the TV anime’s two seasons, while the second involved Assassination Classroom being featured on the All Night Nippon GOLD radio program in August 2025.
The manga has inspired a live-action film as well.
