Yes, Re: Zero -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 is officially confirmed. The announcement was made right after the stunning finale of Season 3, with a release window set for sometime in 2026. Studio White Fox is returning to animate the next chapter, so get ready for another round of Subaru’s harrowing journey.
It’s been quite the ride, hasn’t it? After hours spent analyzing every frame and announcement, the excitement for what comes next is palpable. The conclusion of Season 3 left us all on a knife’s edge, and the confirmation of a fourth season means the suffering—and the adventure—is far from over.
Is Re: Zero Season 4 Officially Confirmed?
Absolutely. The confirmation for Re: Zero Season 4 came directly from the official channels immediately following the broadcast of Season 3’s final episode. They didn’t make us wait this time. An announcement video and a teaser visual were released, assuring fans that Subaru’s return was already in the works. This quick confirmation signals a strong commitment to continuing the adaptation without the long, agonizing gaps we’ve seen between previous seasons.
What is the Re: Zero Season 4 Release Date?
Mark your calendars for 2026. While a specific day and month haven’t been locked in, the 2026 release window was officially announced during the Crunchyroll panel at Anime Expo 2025. This is a much quicker turnaround than fans have become accustomed to, which is fantastic news. This release also beautifully coincides with the 10th anniversary of the anime’s original debut in 2016, making the upcoming season a monumental milestone for the entire franchise.
What Will Season 4’s Plot Be About?
Get ready for the desert. Season 4 will adapt the highly anticipated Arc 6 of the light novels, “The Hall of Memories.” The story will take Subaru, Emilia, and the crew on a perilous journey to the Pleiades Watchtower, a place so dangerous that even Reinhard had to turn back. They are seeking a way to restore the names and memories of those afflicted by the Archbishops of Gluttony. The first trailer already teased giant sandworms and the introduction of a key new character, Shaula.
How Did Season 3 End?
In true Re: Zero fashion, Season 3 ended with a soul-crushing cliffhanger. After the intense battles in Pristella concluded, Subaru was hit with another reality-altering horror. Just as the “Who’s Rem?” mystery defined the end of the first season, the finale of Season 3 left us with a new, equally devastating question: “Who’s Julius?” Everyone’s memories of the “Finest of Knights” have been completely erased, except, of course, for Subaru’s.
Is There Enough Source Material For Season 4?
There’s more than enough material; the anime has years of content left to adapt. The first three seasons have adapted up to Volume 20 of Tappei Nagatsuki’s original light novel series. Season 4 will begin with Volume 21. As of late 2025, the light novel is approaching 40 volumes in Japan and is still ongoing. The author has planned for the story to have 12 arcs in total, meaning the anime is only about halfway through the epic saga.
Which Cast and Studio Are Returning?
You can expect to hear familiar voices. Studio White Fox, the animation house behind all previous seasons, is confirmed to be producing Season 4. While there was some buzz about the studio being acquired by AlphaPolis, the former CEO Gaku Iwasa has publicly stated his commitment to seeing the project through. Key voice actors like Yūsuke Kobayashi (Subaru), Rie Takahashi (Emilia), and Satomi Arai (Beatrice) are all expected to reprise their iconic roles.
Where Can I Watch The Re: Zero Season 4 Trailer?
The first official teaser trailer for Season 4 dropped at Anime Expo 2025 during Crunchyroll’s industry panel. The trailer gave fans their first animated look at the Auguria Dunes, the formidable sandworms, and the enigmatic new character Shaula, the Sage of the Pleiades Watchtower. It set a thrilling, action-packed tone for the upcoming arc, and you can easily find it on Crunchyroll’s official YouTube channel and social media accounts.
