TMS Entertainment (Fruits Basket, Dr. Stone) is returning to produce the new season. Voice actors Daiki Yamashita (Boku no Hero Academia, Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san) and Tsubasa Yonaga (Free!, IDOLiSH7) are reprising as Sakamichi Onoda and Sangaku Manami, respectively.

Yowamushi Pedal, also known by its short title Yowapeda, adapts Wataru Watanabe's bicycle racing manga, which he began in Weekly Shounen Champion in February 2008. Akita Shoten published the 75th volume on Wednesday. The manga has a cumulative 25 million copies of its volumes in print.

The first season debuted in 38 episodes in Fall 2013, followed by the second season and third season in Fall 2014 and Winter 2017, respectively. The fourth season aired in Winter 2018.

The Yowamushi Pedal sequel film opened in Japan in August 2015, grossing over 470 million yen (approximately US$4.13 million). The Spare Bike anime film, adapting Watanabe's spin-off manga, screened for two weeks beginning September 2016.

The Re:RIDE, Re:Generation, and Re:ROAD anime films, compiling the first, second, and third season with new scenes, premiered in September 2014, June 2015, and October 2017.
