The HUNTER×HUNTER stage play will adapt the Chimera Ant arc as its fourth installment, running in two parts in 2027. The first half plays January through February, the second half July through August, both in Tokyo and Kyoto. The series began in 2023, and its third installment, the Greed Island arc, ran in 2025.

The Chimera Ant arc follows Gon and Killua as they investigate the Chimera Ants with Kite, a hunter trained under Gon's father Ging. The creatures eat prey and pass their traits to the next generation, gaining human-level intelligence and Nen abilities as they consume humans. The threat grows to national scale and pulls the Hunter Association into a full battle.
The stage series began in 2023, and its third installment, the Greed Island arc, ran in 2025. The Chimera Ant arc spans from the latter half of volume 18 to volume 30 in the manga.
