Fans of Classroom of the Elite are buzzing with excitement, eagerly awaiting news about the highly anticipated Season 4. With the anime's gripping psychological battles and cunning protagonist, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, it's no surprise that the question on everyone's mind is: Will Classroom of the Elite Season 4 release in August 2025? Here's a deep dive into everything known so far, based on the latest updates, to keep fans in the loop. Is Season 4 Releasing in August 2025?
As of July 2025, no official release date for Classroom of the Elite Season 4 has been announced. Speculation about an August 2025 premiere has circulated online, particularly on platforms like Reddit, but there's no concrete evidence to support this timeline. In fact, several reports suggest a broader release window, likely between late 2025 and 2026, based on typical anime production schedules.
Anime production for a 13-episode season generally takes 12 to 18 months from the announcement date. Since Season 4 was confirmed in September 2024, a late 2025 release is possible but not guaranteed. Season 3, for example, faced delays and aired about 18 months after its announcement. An August 2025 release would be ambitious, and without an official statement, it's safer to expect a later date, possibly early 2026. What Will Season 4 Be About?
Classroom of the Elite Season 4 will dive into the Year 2 arc, adapting the sequel light novels by Shogo Kinugasa. This arc picks up as Ayanokoji and his classmates transition into their second year at Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School. The teaser trailer, revealed at AnimeJapan 2025, teases the 'Second-Year Arc, First Semester,' promising new exams, intense rivalries, and a fresh cast of first-year students.
Expect the stakes to be higher than ever. The first special exam pairs second-years with first-years for a written test, but only the second-years face expulsion if their team underperforms. This setup will test Ayanokoji's strategic genius as he navigates new obstacles and potential threats. Fans can anticipate the same mind-bending twists and psychological warfare that made the series a hit.
The season is expected to cover roughly four volumes of the Year 2 light novels, ending around Volume 4.5, based on the pacing of previous seasons. Since this arc hasn't been fully adapted into manga, anime viewers are in for a fresh experience.
