‘Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma’ Season 6: Everything We Know So Far

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma season five concluded in September 2020. The hit anime series remained popular for many years, with the anime adaptation scoring an astounding 8.1/10 rating on IMDB and  8.15/10 on MyAnimeList. After an epic cooking battle in Shokugeki no Soma: The Fifth Plate, let us find out what’s in store for the anime series. 

Will There Be Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma Season 6?

As much as we love to see another season for Food Wars, it seems unlikely for the anime series to return for season 6 anymore. Shortly after season 4 ended, the renewal announcement for Food Wars season 5 came. However, season 5 was also announced to be the final season for the series. Season 5 (Shokugeki no Soma: The Fifth Plate) concluded on September 25th, 2020, and left the fans emotional. Albeit, fans shouldn’t lose hope because there are still other ways for the anime to return in the form of OVA’s, a prequel series, or even a movie. We already have five OVA episodes, two episodes in 2016, 2 episodes in 2017, and a final episode in 2018. As of this writing, there are no confirmations about future OVA’s or film plans for the hit series yet, but who knows? We will keep you posted on the latest updates.
