Blue Exorcistthe beloved anime based on Kazue Kato’s manga, has kept fans on the edge of their seats with its gripping supernatural storyline and dynamic characters. With the recent conclusion of Blue Exorcist: The Blue Night Saga (Season 5) in March 2025, fans are buzzing with one big question: Is Blue Exorcist Season 6 happening? Here’s everything we know so far.

The Current Status of Blue Exorcist Season 6

As of May 2025, no official announcement has been made regarding Blue Exorcist Season 6. However, the anime’s history and the manga’s ongoing status provide plenty of reason for optimism. Blue Exorcist has seen a resurgence in popularity since Studio VOLN took over production starting with Season 3 (Shimane Illuminati saga in 2024). The consistent release of Seasons 4 and 5 in 2024 and 2025, respectively, suggests that the franchise is in a strong position for continuation.

Blue Exorcist Season 6 Potential Release Date

Blue Exorcist has a history of long gaps between seasons, with six to seven years between its first three installments. However, recent seasons have arrived more quickly, with Seasons 4 and 5 releasing in late 2024 and early 2025. This shift suggests renewed interest and improved production efficiency by Studio VOLN. If a Season 6 is greenlit, it could follow this new pace and potentially release by late 2026 or early 2027.

What Could Blue Exorcist Season 6 Cover?

If Blue Exorcist Season 6 is confirmed, it would likely adapt the Of One Cloth arc, the current storyline in the manga. This arc follows the events of the Blue Night Sagawhich explored the backstory of Rin and Yukio Okumura’s parents, Yuri and Satan, and concluded with Rin returning to the present to confront Yukio’s struggles.
