Fans have been clamoring for the hit anime Hunter x Hunter to get a sequel series years after the revival version aired its last episode.

While it's been 11 years since the series ended its run, Hunter x Hunter remains a popular anime and manga title up to this day and it continues to be a massive franchise with a loyal fanbase.

Will we finally see the sequel series happening? Based on the signs that we've been seeing, that might be the case.

Is Hunter x Hunter Sequel Series Finally Getting Announced Soon?

So far, there is no official announcement that Hunter x Hunter will be returning with an anime sequel series.

However, a recent sign suggests that there could be some announcement regarding its future soon thanks to an upcoming event.

NIPPON TV and VAP have confirmed that they will be participating in the upcoming AnimeJapan 2025 event with Hunter x Hunter mentioned as one of the titles that they are highlighting.

This suggests that a sequel series might get announced during the event which would excite a lot of fans who have been looking forward to hearing about its future.

For now, fans should look forward to the AnimeJapan 2025 event this coming March whether there will indeed be an announcement of a Hunter x Hunter sequel series in development.

Hunter x Hunter's Anime History

The 2011 iteration of the Hunter x Hunter anime series ended its run in 2014 after 148 episodes.

Around that time, it had to stop producing episodes due to the lack of source material from the manga, which is still releasing new chapters up to this day.

Now that 11 years have gone by and more chapters and volumes of the manga have been released, there is now a good reason for them to do a sequel series or another season of the anime.

As mentioned, Hunter x Hunter continues to be a popular anime title, and a comeback would make major headlines among fans as there has been anticipation for it to return. Hopefully, we will be hearing the exciting news in the AnimeJapan event.
