The first season aired in 2010 on TV Tokyo.[1] A second season Majisuka Gakuen 2 was aired the following year.
The third season was set in a different continuity from the previous seasons and was aired on July 13, 2012.
In 2015, the series moved to NTV and the fourth season, which returned to the same continuity as seasons 1 and 2, was aired on January 19, 2015. On the same year, a fifth season was announced and for the first time will be aired exclusively on internet, by the streaming site Hulu Japan, because NTV will broadcast only the first two episodes (August 24), due to various scenes of violence, which does not justify full season showing on TV.[2]
A special spin-off from the fourth and fifth seasons of the series, titled Majisuka Gakuen 0: Kisarazu Rantōhen (マジすか学園0 木更津乱闘編, Majisuka Academy 0: The story of the Brawl at Kisarazu), is a prequel to season 4. It was the first to feature members of HKT48 as the main cast and was produced in collaboration with the rock band Kishidan. It was aired on November 28, 2015, on NTV at 25:05 JST and run for half an hour.[3]
Another spinoff titled Kyabasuka Gakuen was aired in 2016. It was set after the events of season 4 and was an alternate continuity to season 5. In a departure from the fist fighting theme of previous seasons, it saw the cast opening and running a hostess club.
The latest iteration of the series is Majimuri Gakuen, aired in July 2018, which featured an entirely new cast and continuity and set at a different school.[4]
