Along with the confirmation of the release date, it was revealed that the fourth season of the series will be featuring a returning staff and cast.

This new season for the anime will be the perfect way to satiate fans’ appetite for more as the original manga has come to an end. With the recent release of the final chapter of its special epilogue, the anime series will be the only way fans will be getting new content from the franchise going forward.

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma was originally created by Yuto Tsukuda with illustrations by Shun Saeki for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2012. The story follows Soma Yukihira, a young chef who one days wants to get good enough at cooking to take over his family diner from his father. But when he graduates from middle school, his father shuts down his diner and tells Soma to enroll into Totsuki Academy, an elite cooking school where only one percent of students who enroll actually graduate. It was adapted into an anime series by J.C. staff and ran for three seasons with a fourth on the way, and the manga has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release.
