Release Date
Season 5 was originally slated for release in 2020, but production delays related to the pandemic pushed it back. With the world returning to normal, insiders now speculate that Season 5 could premiere as early as 2024—about 4 years after the fourth season aired in 2018.

Trailer
Unfortunately, there’s no official trailer for Season 5 yet. With no confirmation of the new season from the studio, it’s still too early. Once an announcement drops, fans can expect an exciting trailer shortly after.

Fans can expect more promotions and exams as Issei and his friends advance in the demon ranks. There’s sure to be lots of risque humor, steamy romantic encounters, and epic supernatural battles. With new demons arising, Rias and her team must likely intensify their training to take on even bigger threats.
