The new season is officially titled Gotoubun no Hanayome ∬ (I dunno how to read that okay).
A promotional video was also released for this announcement. Watch it here!
A new teaser visual was also released for the new season, which of course features our favorite quints.
The new season is now directed by Kaori (Yuyushiki, How to Keep a Mummy), replacing Satoshi Kuwabara. The series will now also be handled by Bibury Animation Studio (Azur Lane, Grisaia: Phantom Trigger), replacing Tezuka Productions.

He can only do so much to make ends meet for him and his younger sister Raiha. Because of his intelligence the rich Nakano family hires him as a tutor to five girls—quintuplets who are cute, charming, but stubbornly hate studying. Fast-forward to the future, and Futaro is revealed to have ended up marrying one of the quintuplets. But with all five sisters falling in love with him during his time tutoring them, which sister does he actually end up with?
