There is no specified date or episode count for Season 8 as of writing.

The final episode (Episode 21) of Season 7 will broadcast on October 12, 2024, bringing the episode total of the 2016 anime to 159 episodes.

As of Episode 20, the series has adapted up to Chapter 394.

This means that the final season will likely adapt the last 30 or so chapters of the series, as the series ended on August 2024 with a total of 430 chapters.

This is a particularly rare feat for Studio Bones to adapt the series in over 8 seasons and nearly 200 episodes over the course of almost 10 years.
