The OGLE-IV Transient Search (Wyrzykowski et al. ATEL #4495) reports the discovery of eight new supernova candidates, found within the new fields added to the real-time data reductions and covering additional 100 sq.deg. Currently OGLE-IV searches for transients in 430 sq.deg. of sky with and around both Magellanic Clouds with a typical cadence of 2-4 days. Some of the new supernovae are still on the rise, while the others are already declining. Their current magnitudes range from 18.5 to 21 mag in I-band. All candidates are located next to apparent galaxies and their light curves clearly resemble those of supernovae.
