The official Twitter account and website for Attack on Titan has announced today that the final season of Attack on Titan will start broadcasting on Japan's national broadcaster NHK-G on December 7, concluding the epic saga that started back in 2013. A new visual was released to coincide with the announcement. The final season was announced last year to be airing in the fall 2020 anime season, which starts in October and concludes at the end of December.

The series adapts the ongoing manga from Hajime Isayama that runs monthly in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine. Isayama said in an interview on Japanese show Shin Joho 7days Newscaster in June 2020 that the manga series was "about 5%" away from completion, with only that last little bit left for the series.
