Crunchyroll announced during its Anime Expo panel on Saturday that the anime based on Yūki Tabata's Black Clover manga is getting a new season. The service will exclusively stream the anime. The company streamed a trailer and visual:

Studio Pierrot will return to animate the new season.

The panel shared a message from original creator Tabata:

"The production of the long-awaited new anime season of Black Clover has been confirmed! I'm beyond ecstatic going into the new anime season after the super-passionate movie that came out! Thanks to all of you, Black Clover is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! I definitely plan to keep this hype going! I want fans from Japan and all around the world to enjoy the powered-up anime that's going to be brought to you by the most awesome anime production staff! Thank you so much for supporting Black Clover!"

The Black Clover anime last aired in March 2021 with its 170th episode.

The anime premiered in Japan in October 2017. The show was originally listed with 51 episodes, but it continued into a new season with episode 52 in October 2018, and continued on again into a new season in October 2019. Crunchyroll streamed the series in Japanese with English subtitles, and Funimation streamed the show's English dub. The anime debuted on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block in December 2017.

The Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King (Black Clover: Mahо̄tei no Ken) anime film opened in Japan and debuted on Netflix worldwide in June 2023.

Tabata launched Black Clover in Weekly Shonen Jump in February 2015. The manga moved to the quarterly Jump Giga magazine in 2023. Viz Media is publishing the manga digitally and in print, and Shueisha's MANGA Plus service is also publishing the manga digitally.
