The anime's first season premiered in July 2020. Aniplus Asia aired a simulcast of the anime as it aired in Japan.
The anime is based on Shu's The Misfit of Demon King Academy: History's Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes to School with His Descendants (Maō Gakuin no Futekigōsha ~Shijō Saikyō no Maō no Shiso, Tensei Shite Shison-tachi no Gakkō e Kayō) light novel series.
Shu launched the novel series on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in April 2017.
