The Blue Exorcist fandom is buzzing, hearts racing for any hint about Season 6. Kazue Kato’s manga-turned-anime has hooked fans with its wild demon-slaying action, rich character journeys, and gut-punching emotions. Fresh off The Blue Night Saga (Season 5) ending in March 2025, everyone’s asking: Is Season 6 coming? Here’s the latest scoop on renewal, when it might drop, who’s back, and what’s next.
Is Blue Exorcist Season 6 Happening?
As of September 2025, there’s no official green light for Blue Exorcist Season 6. But don’t lose hope! The anime’s been on a roll since Studio VOLN grabbed the reins with Season 3 (Shimane Illuminati Saga, 2024). Unlike the eternal waits—six years from Season 1 (2011) to Season 2 (Kyoto Saga, 2017), then seven more for Season 3—the recent back-to-back drops of Seasons 4 and 5 in 2024 and 2025 show serious hustle. This hot streak, plus the manga still pumping out chapters, keeps the odds high for more.
The Blue Night Saga won fans over as a standout arc, and the buzz is real. Scrolling through Reddit, fans are hyped, betting on an announcement by late 2025. The upcoming mobile game Alterna Vvelt: Blue Exorcist Another Story could also tip the scales if it pops off.
When will Blue Exorcist Season 6 Premiere?
Pinpointing Season 6’s premiere is tough without a nod from the studio, but recent patterns give some hints. Studio VOLN’s been cranking out seasons faster than before. If Season 6 gets the go-ahead by late 2025, expect it maybe late 2026 or early 2027. That gives enough time to adapt the manga’s next chapters, which the anime sticks close to.
Long delays used to plague Blue Exorcist because the manga needed more material, but with Kato’s ongoing work and VOLN’s smoother production, the wait might not drag. Fan chatter on socials leans toward 2027, though some are crossing fingers for sooner.
Who’s Returning in Blue Exorcist Season 6?
If Season 6 happens, the voice cast from The Blue Night Saga should be back, keeping the vibe tight. The lineup, loved in both Japanese and English dubs, includes:
-
Nobuhiko Okamoto (Japanese) / Bryce Papenbrook (English) as Rin Okumura, the hotheaded demon son training to slay evil.
-
Jun Fukuyama (Japanese) / Johnny Yong Bosch (English) as Yukio Okumura, Rin’s brainy twin wrestling his own dark roots.
-
Hiroshi Kamiya (Japanese) / Kyle Hebert (English) as Mephisto Pheles, the shady True Cross Academy boss.
-
Akeno Watanabe (Japanese) / Wendee Lee (English) as Shura Kirigakure, the tough-as-nails exorcist tied to the brothers.
-
Kana Hanazawa (Japanese) / Christine Marie Cabanos (English) as Shiemi Moriyama, Rin’s sweet friend with killer taming skills.
These voices nail the heart and soul of the characters, and fans would riot if they changed. New faces from the manga’s next arc could pop up, but nothing’s set yet.
What’s Next for Rin and Yukio?
Season 6 will likely tackle the Of One Cloth arc, picking up after The Blue Night Saga. Season 5 dug into the heartbreaking past of Rin and Yukio’s parents, Yuri Egin and Satan, unpacking the Blue Night massacre where Satan went wild, torching exorcists. It wrapped with Rin jumping back to the present, facing Yukio, who’s teetering on the edge with his demonic side and the Illuminati’s schemes, led by Lucifer.
The Of One Cloth arc cranks up the brotherly drama. Yukio’s battling his inner demons—literally—while Rin fights to pull him back. True Cross Academy’s crew will face fresh threats, with the Illuminati stirring more chaos. Expect deeper dives into the Okumura family secrets, epic showdowns, and the clash between Assiah (human world) and Gehenna (demon realm). It’s classic Blue Exorcist: raw emotion, insane action, and bonds that hit hard.
