One day, the citadel is breeched by a Colossal Titan, and the Shiganshina District is flooded by these towering creatures. Our protagonists Eren Jaeger and his adopted sister Mikasa are forced to flee their home as, trapped under the wreckage, their mother is devoured by a Smiling Titan.
Three seasons later and we've followed Eren, Mikasa, and their friend Armin as they progress through the 104th Cadet Corps into the Scout Regiment, training to enact their revenge and defeat the Titan menace. We’ve learnt more about the Titan’s origins, too – where they come from and what purpose they serve – in addition to the mysterious backstories of our protagonists.
Last season involved the recapture of Wall Maria from the Titans, and the Scouts preparing to take their fight to the state of Marley, so viewers can expect a whole new world as they depart Paradis Island. We’re anticipating even greater dangers, new characters, and an awesomely action-packed conclusion.
Whether a newbie or a die-hard fan, get ready to gorge on this colossally entertaining series as we detail how to watch Attack on Titan season 4 online from anywhere now.

Can I watch Attack on Titan on Netflix?
Whether you can watch Attack on Titan and exactly how many seasons are available to view depends on what territory you’re located.
In the US, UK, and Canada, all 25 episodes of Attack on Titan season 1 are included as part of Netflix’s extensive streaming library, but there’s no word if season 2 and 3 will ever be added.
However, if you’re based in Japan or Italy, then Attack on Titan seasons 1-3 are available to enjoy with a Netflix subscription - and there could be more on the way!
There's rumors, as per an official Netflix regional Twitter account, that Attack on Titan season 4 will be coming to Netflix Philippines (and maybe elsewhere?) from December 11!

How to watch Attack on Titan season 4 online FREE in the US
Specialist platforms Crunchyroll and Funimation both have Attack on Titan ready for your viewing pleasure, including seasons 1-3 and all-new season 4 episodes just after they're broadcast on Japanese TV from December 7.
Crunchyroll has loads of great anime content and all of its premium plans - which you'll need to watch Attack on Titan season 4 episodes only an hour after they air in Japan - come with a 14-day free trial. After that, they cost as little as $7.99 a month - or for even better value, $9.99 for the ability to watch offline and stream on up to four devices at once.
Funimation is a similar proposition, also letting you stream Attack on Titan season 4's latest episodes with one of its premium plans an hour after they air in Japan. Check out its free trial first, and it's $5.99 for simultaneous streaming on two devices thereafter, or $7.99 for up to five devices and offline viewing powers.
Both platforms also have seasons 1-3 of Attack on Titan available to watch, while Netflix US offers season 1 only at present for anyone looking to catch-up on the seminal anime show.
Alternatively, Amazon has Attack on Titan seasons 1-3 as well as new season 4 episodes available to rent or buy through its Prime Video platform, if signing up for an animi-centric streaming service isn't for you.
Outside of the US? Watch Attack on Titan just like you would at home with the help of a quality VPN.
How to watch Attack on Titan season 4 online in the UK
In the UK, Funimaton comes up trumps, serving all of Attack on Titan to UK viewers - along with other anime classics like Ghost in the Shell, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, My Hero Academia, and loads more.
There’s only one subscription plan here though, and that’s Premium Plus. For a respectable £4.99 a month, stream a huge library of old and new anime without the annoyance of adverts, utilize five different devices concurrently, and download episodes to view while out and about.
If you’re a voracious fan of everything anime, you'll extract the best value by paying £49.99 annually instead, which essentially gifts you two months free . But, if you need time to decide whether the platform's for you, don’t forget you can take the 14-day free trial for a spin before you commit.
And for newbies to the series, you can watch Attack on Titan season 1 on Netflix UK as you can in many other countries.
Working abroad or on holiday now lockdown restrictions have started to ease slightly? Don’t let that prevent you from enjoying a nice Attack on Titan binge while you’re away. Downloading a quality VPN is simple and will let you stream geo-blocked country from whatever country you’re in.
How to watch Attack on Titan season 4 online in Canada
North of the American border, anime fans will be giddy to know that Crunchyroll also offers Attack on Titan as part of its library in Canada and is currently advertising new season 4 episodes available for streaming.
As in the US, Attack on Titan season 4 episodes will become available just an hour after they air in Japan - though you will again need one of Crunchy's premium subscriptions for instant access.
When we last checked, they were listed at the same USD prices - so $9.99 a month for the best value plan with support for multiple devices and offline viewing capabilities. That tempting 14-day free Crunchyroll trial is still on offer, too - as are Attack on Titan seasons 1-3.
And for those with Netflix, season 1 is currently on Netflix Canada to enjoy at no extra cost to your subscription.
Remember, if you plan on travelling abroad but want to get your fix of Attack on Titan no matter where you are, then trying the VPN route will let you binge-watch the acclaimed anime from anywhere.
