Blue Exorcist is based on the best-selling manga of the same name by Kazue Kato, which has been running since 2009, with the series being published in English by Viz Media. The anime of the same name aired its first season in 2011 and did not return until 2017 for Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga. A movie adaptation of the series also released in 2012 . Despite the show’s erratic schedule and long gaps between new seasons, the anime and manga both have a strong and devoted fanbase. Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga will adapt volumes 10 through 15 of the original manga. There are, at present, 29 volumes of the manga in publication. The third season will be produced by Studio VOLN, which is responsible for such other anime as Back Arrow and Karakuri Circus, with Daisuke Yoshida directing.

Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga will release in January 2024.
