Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 Release Tracker
This is a living Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 release tracker, updated as news drops: current status, the full announcement timeline, what the season will cover, English dub info and where to watch when it airs. Everything is sourced from official announcements and checked against two independent outlets — last verified June 19, 2026.
📅 Expected release
Our honest read: As of June 19, 2026, no date is locked. With production active and a first teaser out ~9 months after the announcement, a 2027 premiere (likely the back half of 2027) is the realistic expectation — but this remains speculation, not a MAPPA confirmation. Expect an official date or window at a later showcase (Anime Expo July 2026, Jump Festa in December, or a dedicated JJK event).
🗞️ What we know — announcement timeline
| Date | What happened |
|---|---|
| January 8, 2026 | Season 3 (The Culling Game: Part 1) premiered on Japanese TV and simulcast on Crunchyroll. |
| March 26, 2026 | Season 3 ended with the extended episode 12 'Sendai Colony'; Season 4 'The Culling Game: Part 2' was officially announced moments later via the official X account — in production at MAPPA, no date or trailer. |
| June 19, 2026 | At MAPPA's 15th Anniversary Lineup event, Season 4 got its FIRST teaser trailer (via Toho Animation's YouTube), previewing marquee fights — Hakari vs Kashimo, Yuki & Choso vs Kenjaku, and Yuji vs Sukuna. A 'Juju Talk' segment featured VAs Junya Enoki (Yuji) and Megumi Ogata (Yuta). Staff change revealed: Goshozono → chief director, Takeru Sato (Zombie Land Saga) → series director. NO release date or window announced — the teaser only says 'in production.' |
📖 What it will cover
Season 4 adapts the second half of the Culling Game arc (manga ch. ~181 onward): Hakari vs Kashimo, Maki vs Naoya, Sukuna seizing Megumi's body, and the push to free Gojo from the Prison Realm — building directly into the Shinjuku Showdown. The hype is enormous because Gojo's unsealing (ch. 221) and the long-awaited Gojo vs Sukuna clash sit at the end of this material.
🔚 Where Season 3 ended
Episode 12 'Sendai Colony' (March 26, 2026, extended finale) — Yuta Okkotsu clears the Sendai Colony, defeating Kurourushi, Takako Uro and Ryu Ishigori; corresponds to manga chapter ~180-181. Need the full viewing path? See our Jujutsu Kaisen watch order.
Keep reading: Continue reading from chapter ~181 (start of the Tokyo No. 2 Colony mini-arc). The manga FINISHED at chapter 271 (September 2024), so MAPPA has the complete ending to work with — Culling Game Part 2 plus the Shinjuku Showdown and finale remain to be animated.
🎙️ English dub
No S4 dub info dropped at the June 19 event. Following the S3 pattern (Crunchyroll's English dub launched ~2 weeks after the sub premiere), expect an English dub announcement closer to S4's air date.
📺 Where to watch
- Crunchyroll (worldwide simulcast expected, as with Seasons 1-3)
- Netflix (select regions, followed prior seasons)
