Minami-ke is officially coming back. The fifth season of the beloved slice-of-life comedy, titled Minami-ke: Korekara, will premiere in April 2027, with a teaser trailer and new visual unveiled at the Minami-ke Special Event 2026 on Sunday.

The announcement confirmed that the returning cast will reprise their roles after a 14-year gap since the franchise's last TV season — a reunion fans had long written off. Production moves to Liden Films, with new staff attached to the project, per reveals covered by Anime News Network and MyAnimeList News.

The series adapts Coharu Sakuraba's long-running comedy manga about the three Minami sisters and their low-stakes everyday lives, a formula that carried four TV seasons between 2007 and 2013 and built one of the era's most durable slice-of-life followings.

A spring 2027 slot gives Liden Films over a year of runway, and the teaser promo offers a first look at how the new production handles the show's familiar deadpan rhythm.
