(lit. "Majisuka Academy") is a Japanese television drama series about high school delinquents, starring members of idol group AKB48.
The first season aired in 2010 on TV Tokyo. A second season Majisuka Gakuen 2 was aired the following year.
The third season is 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 only broadcast the first two episodes on August 24 due to various scenes of violence, which did not justify full season showing on TV.
A special spin-off from the fourth and fifth seasons of the series, titled , 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.
Another spinoff titled Cabasuka Gakuen aired from October 2016 to January 2017. It is set after the events of an unresolved alternate ending to the fourth season. In a departure from the fist-fighting theme of previous seasons, it saw the girls opening and running a hostess club in order to save their school from shutting down as it had gone bankrupt.
The latest iteration of the series is Majimuri Gakuen, aired in July 2018, which features an entirely new cast and continuity, and was set at a different school.
