Will there be a season 5 of High School DXD? Release date speculation
When are we going back to school?
High School DXD is your classic anime - boy meets girl, boy is killed by girl on first date, boy is resurrected as a devil by a devil princess to serve her...
It originally began life as a light novel series in September 2008, running for just under a decade as it racked up 25 volumes, four short story collections and a host of spin-offs.
Issei Hyoudou is a seemingly normal student who is unexpectedly asked out on a date by Yuuma Amano. The first date quickly turns sour as she reveals herself to be a fallen angel, killing Issei and leaving his body in the park.
Luckily, third-year student Rias Gremory comes along and revives him, revealing herself as a devil - and thereby reincarnating Issei as a devil himself. Now, he’s her faithful servant and must do her bidding.

It didn’t take long for High School DXD to get its own anime adaptation, arriving just two years after the initial release of the first manga.
Since then it’s gone on to have four seasons, but is a fifth on the way? Read on to find out everything we know about High School DXD season 5.
When will High School DXD season 5 come out?
The original anime, simply titled High School DXD, aired on 6th January 2012, with subsequent seasons premiering around the first quarter of the year respectively.
The most recent season, High School DXD Hero, premiered on 10th April 2018, with its final episode airing on 3rd July 2018.
Since then, there’s unfortunately been radio silence as to the potential of a High School DXD season 5. There have been no updates as to whether one is in production five years later, making it sadly unlikely that there is one in the works, or that an announcement may come any time soon.
If we were to speculate, a possible announcement could happen around October or November 2023, but don’t hold us to that.
Is there a trailer for High School DXD season 5?
The fourth season of High School DXD was announced during the Fantasia Bunko Daikanshasai event in October 2016, making it probable that an announcement for a fifth series of the anime would be pegged to another big anime-led event, with a trailer likely attached to the announcement.
Unfortunately, there is currently no teaser or announcement trailer available for High School DXD season 5, but we’ll update this page as soon as we become aware of one.
