The production team of the TV anime "Oshi no Ko" has released the teaser visual for the fourth season, "Final Season." Alongside this, a visual movie was released in which the depicted characters can be heard.
The motif shows Aqua, Ruby, Kana Arima, Akane Kurokawa, MEM-cho, and Ai in the costumes from the manga covers, as they approach the final stage of the story. Fittingly, the accompanying slogan reads, "Guided by stars – to the final stage." The visual movie brings the image to life and lets the six characters speak short dialogues. The announcement states that Aqua and Ruby, who carry their fate and live in the world of entertainment, will each find their own answer.
The material was unveiled at the event "Ichigo Production Fan Thanksgiving 2026" on August 16, 2026. This provides the first detailed look at the fourth season, whose production was already confirmed shortly after the finale of the third season at the end of March 2026. A broadcast date has not yet been set. Since the manga source material has now concluded, the fourth season is likely to tell the story to its end.
Director Daisuke Hiramaki, series composer Hitoshi Tanaka, character designer Kanna Hirayama, and studio Doga Kobo are once again responsible for the production. In the voice cast, Takeo Otsuka returns as Aqua, Yurie Igoma as Ruby, Megumi Han as Kana Arima, Manaka Iwami as Akane Kurokawa, Rumi Okubo as MEM-cho, and Rie Takahashi as Ai.
"Oshi no Ko" tells the story of gynecologist Goro, before whom his favorite idol Ai suddenly appears: the young woman he secretly adores. After his death, Goro is reborn as her child – together with Sarina, a former patient, who grows up as his twin sister Ruby. Together, the two search for the truth behind Ai's violent death, fighting their way through the dark sides of the show business. The underlying manga series by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari was serialized in "Weekly Young Jump" from April 2020 to November 2024 and has sold over 25 million copies in total. The first anime season aired from April to June 2023, the second from July to October 2024, and the third from January to March 2026; additionally, a live-action adaptation drew attention.
