If you’re a Haikyuu !! fan, you’ve probably been on the edge of your seat, wondering what’s next for Hinata, Kageyama, and the Karasuno crew. The volleyball anime has kept us hooked with its high-energy matches, unforgettable characters, and themes of grit and teamwork. After Season 4 dropped in 2020 and the first Haikyuu!! Final movie, The Dumpster Battlehit theaters in 2024, fans are buzzing: will there ever be a Haikyuu !! Season 5? Let’s dive into everything we know so far, from the latest news to what the future might hold.

Is HaiKyuu Season 5 Happening?

As of right now—July 21, 2025—there’s no official green light for Haikyuu !! Season 5. No word from Production I.G, no teasers from Crunchyroll, nada. Instead, the anime’s wrapping up with a two-part movie series called Haikyuu!! Final. The first film, The Dumpster Battledropped in Japan on February 16, 2024, and brought the Karasuno vs. Nekoma showdown to life with jaw-dropping animation. The second movie, VS The Little Giantis expected to tackle the Karasuno vs. Kamomedai match and maybe even the manga’s time-skip arc. It’s slated for a late 2026 release in Japan, with the rest of the world following.

These films seem to be the grand finale, which has left fans like me torn. On one hand, movies mean big-screen volleyball glory. On the other, a full TV season could dive deeper into the story we love. For now, it looks like the movies are the plan, but let’s not lose hope just yet.

What Could Season 5 Have Covered?

If we did get a Season 5, it would likely pick up right after Season 4, starting around Chapter 293 of the manga. Here’s what fans could expect:

• Karasuno vs. Nekoma: The “Battle at the Garbage Dump” is a fan-favorite showdown between Karasuno’s crows and Nekoma’s cats. This match, already covered in The Dumpster Battlehighlights the rivalry and friendship between the teams.

• Karasuno vs. Women: The next big match pits Karasuno against Kamomedai, featuring Hoshiumi Korai, the “Little Giant” who inspired Hinata. This arc, expected in VS The Little Giantwould show Hinata facing his mirror image on the court.

• Time-Skip Arc: The manga’s final chapters jump forward in time, showing the characters as adults, including pro volleyball matches like MSBY Black Jackals vs. Schweiden Adlers. A Season 5 could dive deep into this arc, giving fans more of Hinata’s journey post-high school.

There’s even enough content for a potential Season 6, especially with the manga’s Brazil arc and epilogue, but the focus on movies makes this less likely for now.

Is There Still Hope for Season 5?

Even with the movies taking center stage, some fans are holding out hope for a fifth season. The official Haikyuu !! Twitter account recently dropped “Final” from the title of VS The Little Giantsparking speculation that more content—maybe a season or special episodes—could be in the works. The manga’s time-skip arc, with its focus on professional volleyball and character growth, has enough material for a full season, which keeps the dream alive.

On X, fans are vocal about wanting a Season 5 to flesh out the manga’s ending, especially the Brazil arc and pro matches. But without official confirmation, these are just hopeful whispers for now.
