This year's 29th issue of Weekly Shounen Jump announced a fourth anime season for Yuuto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki's cooking manga Shokugeki no Souma (Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma) on Monday. The new season, subtitled Shin no Sara, will begin airing in October 2019.

The issue also revealed that the manga will run for three more chapters under the title Shokugeki no Souma: Le dessert in Jump GIGA. After nearly a seven-year serialization in Weekly Shounen Jump, Shokugeki no Souma will switch to the magazine's first Summer 2019 issue on June 27.

Tsukuda launched the manga featuring illustrations by Saeki in November 2012. TV star and food researcher Yuki Morisaki collaborated with the creators, making dishes and recipes depicted in the series. Shueisha published the 35th volume on June 4.

J.C.Staff produced the first television anime adaptation in Spring 2015. A second season, subtitled Ni no Sara, followed in Summer 2016. The third season aired in two split cours in Fall 2017 and Spring 2018. The 18th, 19th, 24th, 25th, and 29th volumes bundled five original video anime episodes, which served as side stories and bridges between seasons.

Crunchyroll streamed all three seasons with subtitles while they aired in Japan. Sentai Filmworks released the first season in North America on Blu-ray and DVD in August 2017 and a premium edition the following month. The company also shipped the second season on both a standard and limited edition Blu-ray and DVD in February 2018.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in 2013 and simultaneously publishes new chapters with the Japanese release through its Shounen Jump service digitally. The 30th volume went on sale on June 4.
