My Hero Academia Finally Returns to Netflix With 25 Episodes After 5-Month Delay

Netflix’s missing season of My Hero Academia is finally making its way to the platform, and fans have less than a week left to wait for it.

My Hero Academia‘s mainline anime series may have come to a close in 2025, but Netflix subscribers are only now able to officially look forward to nearly the full series being available on the platform, with only its final Season 8 still missing. After months of being absent from the platform, My Hero Academia Season 6 will be available for streaming on Netflix beginning Nov. 19.

MHA’s 25-Episode Season 6 Finally Heads to Netflix After Months of Delays

For Netflix subscribers, the arrival of My Hero Academia Season 6 has been a long time coming. The 25-episode season was initially announced as joining the platform on June 1, 2026, only for its release to be delayed without explanation or a newly confirmed date. Now, more than five months later, fans can finally look forward to watching one of the anime’s most consequential chapters, with Season 6 covering the Paranormal Liberation War and Dark Hero arcs.

Season 6’s arrival on Nov. 19 will also bring Netflix’s MHA catalog closer to completion, though the anime’s eighth and final season remains unavailable as of writing, with no release date for this yet announced.

Produced by studio Bones, the My Hero Academia anime premiered in 2016, just two years after Kohei Horikoshi’s original manga of the same name debuted in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump. The series largely revolves around the young Izuku Midoriya, who was born into a world where almost everyone else has a superpower, or Quirk, to call their own.

Despite having no inherent abilities, Midoriya is determined to become a hero, which starts to become a real possibility when he is scouted by the legendary All Might. After All Might gives Midoriya his own Quirk, he helps the budding young hero find a place for himself at the world’s foremost training academy for the superheroes of tomorrow, U.A. High School. Over the course of its run, My Hero Academia amassed 170 episodes across eight seasons, plus 11 OVAs and one special epilogue simply titled “More.”

Like the original manga before it, the My Hero Academia anime proved to be a massive hit with critics and viewers alike. The anime also won dozens of major industry awards over the past decade and was nominated for dozens more, even taking home four separate wins at the 10th Crunchyroll Anime Awards earlier this year, including the coveted Anime of the Year award.

My Hero Ultra Rumble features explosive battles that play out between eight teams of three players each. As explained by the official game description for My Hero Ultra Rumble, players can “find items, interact with civilians, and defeat opponents to improve your abilities and get the upper hand over other teams,” as well as “unlock new characters and customization options by gaining experience and completing missions.”

My Hero Academia Season 6 will be available for streaming on Netflix beginning Nov. 19.
