No, there are no official plans for an Attack on Titan Season 5. The series officially concluded with Attack on Titan Final Season, which finished adapting the entirety of Hajime Isayama’s manga. While the final season was split into multiple parts, the story of Eren Jaeger is complete.

Hasn’t it been a wild ride? After over a decade of emotional turmoil, brutal action, and shocking twists, the main story has reached its definitive conclusion. But the end of one of the most popular anime of all time has left many wondering if there’s any chance of returning to this dark and fascinating world. Let’s break down the finale and what the future might hold.

Why Attack on Titan Season 5 Isn’t Happening

The primary reason there will be no Season 5 is that the anime has fully adapted its source material. The manga, written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama, concluded with its 139th chapter. The anime’s final season meticulously covered the remaining chapters, bringing the narrative to its intended end. The story was always designed to be a finite one, and with Eren’s journey reaching its ultimate resolution, there’s simply no more of the main story left to tell.

The “Final Season” Was The True Finale

Don’t let the naming convention confuse you. Attack on Titan Final Season was indeed the end, even though it was released in four parts over several years. This release strategy was adopted by Studio MAPPA to maintain the incredible quality of the animation while adapting the dense and action-packed final arcs of the manga. Think of the different parts not as separate seasons, but as extended chapters of a single, epic conclusion. The story is officially over.

Is There Enough Source Material for a Sequel?

Technically, no. The main manga is complete. However, the manga’s final pages included an epilogue showing the distant future of Paradis Island, long after the main characters are gone. This glimpse reveals that the cycle of conflict continues, eventually leading to Paradis’s destruction. The very last panel shows a young boy discovering a massive tree, reminiscent of the one where Ymir gained her powers, hinting that the story of the Titans could begin again. This fuels fan speculation but has not led to any official sequel announcements.

So, What Is the Future of the Attack on Titan Franchise?

While a direct anime sequel is off the table, the franchise is far from dead. According to producer Tetsuya Kinoshita, there are plans to keep the world alive for years to come. The idea is to expand the universe “sideways, not forward.” This includes potential new movies that aren’t just recaps, live-action concerts, and various video game collaborations. The goal is to explore the world and its characters through different media, keeping the franchise active for both old and new fans.

What Is Creator Hajime Isayama Working On Now?

Hajime Isayama has moved on to new projects. In early 2025, he was involved in a new one-shot manga called The Theory of Evil Men and AI. This was a collaboration with Yuki Kaji, the Japanese voice actor for Eren Jaeger, as part of a larger creative project called “Soyogi Fractal.” This new story is completely unrelated to the Attack on Titan universe, signaling that Isayama is exploring fresh creative territory after dedicating over a decade to the Titans.

What About the 16th Anniversary Projects?

The franchise continues to celebrate its legacy. For its 16th anniversary in September 2025, a new project was announced offering fans the chance to own unique collectibles. The project features 52 of Isayama’s original illustrations from the manga’s run, sold as exclusive, serialized panels. While exciting for collectors, this is a commemorative project and does not involve new story content.

Where to Watch the Entire Attack on Titan Series

If you want to re-live the entire epic saga or are just jumping in for the first time, you can stream all seasons of Attack on Titan. The complete series, including all parts of the Final Season, is available on streaming platforms like Crunchyroll and Hulu. After spending hundreds of hours with this story, I can say it’s an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

Will There Ever Be More Attack on Titan Anime?

For the main story of Eren, Mikasa, and Armin, the anime has concluded. While the comments from the production team and the ambiguous ending of the manga leave a glimmer of hope for future spin-offs or side stories, there are currently no official plans for Attack on Titan Season 5. The franchise will live on, but likely through new movies, games, and other media rather than a direct continuation of the anime series.
