One-Punch Man Confirms Return as Season 3 Part 2 in 2027

Fan backlash to Season 3 fuels calls for more time, higher budgets, creative adjustments.

Overview

  • The continuation is officially framed as the second cour of Season 3 rather than a standalone Season 4.
  • Outlets report a 2027 premiere window with no specific month or day announced yet.
  • J.C. Staff remains the studio, with Shinpei Nagai directing, Tomohiro Suzuki on script, and Makoto Miyazaki composing.
  • The new episodes will continue the Monster Association arc, which was not concluded in the first 12 episodes.
  • Season 3 concluded on December 28, 2025 with unusually low IMDb scores near 1.5–2.4, and early reports from anime insiders were later echoed by studio promotional material.
