This announcement at the end of August serves as a crucial opportunity to dispel rumors and hoaxes regarding fake release schedules that had previously misled viewers on social media. At the upcoming Juju Fest 2026, the production committee is expected to unveil the first promotional video (PV), the latest key visual, and the official broadcast window.
Given that Japanese television broadcast slots for the remainder of the year are already fully booked, industry observers predict that the fourth season will premiere globally in early 2027.
What Will Be Announced?
Juju Fest 2026 is widely expected to take center stage for the global anime community, featuring several key anticipated highlights:
- Premiere Teaser PV Launch: An initial animated preview showcasing Studio MAPPA's readiness to produce the second half of the Culling Game Arc.
- Official Release Date Announcement: Confirmation of exactly when Season 4 will begin airing on television (projected for early 2027).
- Introduction of New Characters and Voice Actors: Announcements regarding the voice cast for crucial characters set to enter the fray during this deadly phase.
According to early leaks following the conclusion of Season 3, the fourth season titled Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 2 (Shimetsu Kaiyu: Kohen) brings a tactical shift to the production team. Takeru Sato (an assistant director on Season 3) has been promoted to lead director, while Shota Goshozono remains involved in this major project, transitioning to the role of chief director.

Season 4 picks up immediately from the despair left at the end of the third season. The life-or-death Culling Game tournament enters its most brutal phase as Kenjaku’s plan to merge humanity begins to unfold.
Yuji Itadori, Yuta Okkotsu, and the remaining Jujutsu sorcerers must race against time to break the Prison Realm’s seal and free Satoru Gojo, all while contending with the increasingly uncontrollable threat of Ryomen Sukuna.
Beyond the promise of a far more massive and emotionally charged scale of battle, this fourth season also brings a tactical refresh to the production team. The role of lead director has been entrusted to Takeru Sato, a talented figure who previously served as assistant director during the third season.
Meanwhile, Shota Goshozono remains involved in this major project, shifting into the role of chief director. This new combination is expected to uphold the high-caliber visual aesthetic that has become the hallmark of Studio MAPPA. The upcoming announcement on August 29 is set to be a pivotal moment, eagerly awaited by millions of anime fans worldwide.
