My Hero Academia spoilers follow.

My Hero Academia season 6, which finished airing in Spring 2023, took the series to new heights. We watched our favourite heroes storm the Paranormal Liberation Front's base, witnessed Shigaraki devastate an entire city and even followed Deku through a serious emo phase.

It also included a ton of great character development. We learned more about characters like Hawks and Endeavour, and the show gave mainstays like Ururaka and Bakugo significant emotional moments.

But now the season is over, what are fans to do? Come with us as we do some serious speculating about My Hero Academia season seven's release date and plot.

My Hero Academia season 7 release date: When will My Hero Academia season 7 air?

My Hero Academia season seven will begin airing on May 4, 2024, according to an announcement made at Jump Festa 24.

The news is particularly exciting for fans who thought they might have to wait a little bit longer. My Hero Academia normally airs with an 18-month gap between season finales and premieres, but the show's sixth season only wrapped in March 2023.

A set of four special episodes will also air in the weeks leading up to the My Hero Academia season-seven premiere. The specials, titled My Hero Academia Memories, will start on April 6 and will recap key events from the series so far – along with "some new scenes that lead into the seventh season of the series".

Meanwhile, it was also confirmed that the fourth My Hero Academia anime movie will appear in summer 2024.

The first three movies featured completely original stories, and a new script has been written for the fourth film. Author Kohei Horikoshi has been supervising – making sure his characters stay consistent with the series. The film went into production during August 2023, so it’s a fairly fast turnaround for animation.

My Hero Academia season 7 plot: What will happen in My Hero Academia season 7?

Avid My Hero Academia fans will know that the series is entering its final phase. Season six set up and delivered a set of arcs that resulted in the series' main villain All for One breaking free of his prison and gathering an army of diabolical bad guys, but what happens next?

Viewers whose curiosity is getting the better of them can find out what's in store thanks to the ongoing, original manga. We won't give the whole game away, but beware of some major spoilers below.

My Hero Academia season seven will likely pick up where season six left off, with the introduction of USA hero 'Star and Stripe'. If the story follows the manga, then we'll see her battle against All for One and witness the resulting fallout after her devastating loss.

The Star and Stripe arc starts on chapter 329 of the My Hero Academia manga, so you’ll need to pick up volume 34 if you want to prep for the series.

Season seven will likely also cover a plot involving one member of Class 1A betraying the heroes, and resolve the ongoing Todoroki family drama with an explosive battle between Dabi and Shoto.

Finally, the series will move into its endgame: a major conflict between all of the heroes we've come to love, and the combined forces of All for One and Shigaraki.

My Hero Academia fans have one more thing to look forward to: a new movie. In August 2023, creator Kohei Horikoshi confirmed that a fourth film based on the franchise would be set after the events of season six.

He said in a statement: "Hello everyone, I'm Kohei Horikoshi, author of My Hero Academia. A 4th movie for [My Hero Academia] has just been confirmed! And that's thanks to your support, thank you so much!

"It'll take place after the War from season six, meaning that the collapsed society will be the stage this time. After having been through so much and learning so many things, who will Deku and his friends fight against this time? What will they protect?! Look forward to it!"
