Since the second season finished airing in 2021, fans expected a long wait for the third season. However, on March 25, 2023, the official Re Zero Twitter account confirmed that the anime had been renewed for a highly anticipated third season.
Here’s everything you should know regarding the upcoming new season of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World and when it will be released.
Re Zero has been a phenomenon since its debut in 2016. The combination of its thrilling two seasons and the accompanying OVA, Memory Snow, and The Frozen Bond, has made this dark fantasy series one of the best in the isekai genre.
With its captivating story, complex characters, and emotional twists, the Re Zero anime has become a masterpiece.
Fans have become deeply invested in the journey of Subaru, a teenager who is transported to a fantasy world and has the ability to “Return by Death”. Subaru forms a bond with Emilia, a silver-haired girl who is the key to the world’s fate.
Now that the new sequel is confirmed, the anticipation is growing as Re Zero fans around the world get ready for the next season and prepare to witness more dramatic events and shocking revelations.
This article provides everything we know about Re Zero Season 3, including the release date and plot details.
When Will the Third Season of Re Zero Be Released?
As of February 2024, the studio has not officially announced a release date for Re Zero Season 3. The production team continues to work on the season, but fans should not expect the premiere of season 3 until at least late 2024 or early 2025.
So, all we know is that it’s not coming anytime soon.
So, the release should be in 2024, but some fans think we won’t see it before 2025. But rest assured, as soon as the release date is known, we will let you know! We will be among the first to report on the airing date.
Good news! Re:Zero will have a stage at Anime Japan 2024 in March. More news, such as a release date and trailer, are expected then. We should finally get a taste of what the next season will look like.
The Re Zero anime is notorious for studio and staff problems. That’s why we waited for Re Zero season 2 so long, and it looks like that will be the case for season 3 as well. There will also likely be a new staff for Season 3.
In the meantime, let’s delve into what we can expect from the plot of Re Zero Season 3 and how the current light novel status looks.
Re Zero Season 3 Plot
Season three will continue adapting the light novel series written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shin’ichirō Ōtsuka. The Re Zero light novel is still an ongoing series.
We know that season 3 won’t likely be the last one, as it will follow Subaru and his allies to the Watergate City of Priestella, where they will face new threats and enemies. Subaru will also learn more about the secrets of the world and his own power in Arc 6.
Season one covered Arcs 1 to 3, and season two did arc 4.
Season three will begin with arc five, which covers volumes 16 to 20 of the light novel. Expectations are that the third season of Re Zero will also adapt light novel volumes 21 to 25, arc 6.
So, if you want to continue the story from where the anime ended, have a look at Re Zero light novel volume 16 in English.
I highly recommend checking out the Re Zero light novel. Although the anime did a great job, the light novel has more details and depth.
So far, there are 37 volumes of the light novel, so we have enough material for more seasons of Re Zero in the future.
The third season is expected to be lengthy, with more than 40 episodes covering 2 arcs. It’s not clear if it will be split into multiple parts, but it’s likely.
Last Thoughts
