Re: Zero Season 4 Release Date SItuation!

The first part of the third season of Re:Zero was officially concluded on November 20, 2024, with 8 episodes. However, it is important to clarify that the conclusion of this part does not mean the end of the season as a whole, as there is still another part to be released.

The second part of the third season is scheduled to premiere on February 5, 2025, and just like the first part, the second part will also be composed of 8 episodes, totaling 16 episodes for this season.

RE: ZERO WILL THERE BE A SEASON 4?

So far, nothing has been officially announced, but it is possible to have a good idea about the possibility of renewing an anime for a new season by analyzing some key factors such as the availability of original material and the performance of the franchise in terms of popularity and profitability, which generally influence the decision of the production committee to produce or continue an anime.

• AVAILABILITY OF ORIGINAL MATERIAL!

Currently, the Re: Zero light novel has around 40 volumes published, and while the first season of the anime adapted the first 9 volumes of the light novel, covering arcs 1 to 3, the second season adapted volumes 10 to 15, covering arc 4 of the story, and the third season adapted arc 5, which starts from volume 16 and ends at volume 20. Therefore, with the amount of source material that still remains to be adapted, it is possible to comfortably produce a new season.

• POPULARITY AND PROFITABILITY!

1 – As of March 2023, the cumulative circulation of the Re:Zero literary works has surpassed the mark of 13 million copies, a rare milestone for light novel-originated series, which demonstrates that the original material is extremely popular and profitable.

2 – During the release period of the Part 1 of the 3rd season, Re; Zero frequently remained among the most-watched series in Japan on platforms like Abema TV, dAnime Store, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu, consolidating itself as one of the most popular anime of the October 2024 season.

3 – Re: Zero has been actively involved in various media, including pachinko and pachislo machines that have become extremely popular, with around six different Re: Zero-based machines released so far for both platforms, each with approximately 10,000 installations. In addition to promoting the original work, pachinko and slot machines also generate stable revenue through licensing fees.

CONCLUSION:

Given the abundance of source material to be adapted and the great popularity and profitability of the franchise across various media, including the anime, it is almost certain that Re; Zero will be renewed for a fourth season.

RE: ZERO SEASON 4 RELEASE DATE PREDICTION!

Both the second and third seasons of the anime were released approximately 3 years and 9 months after the end of their predecessor seasons, so if this pattern is maintained, the season 4 should premiere in October 2028 or January 2029, around 3 years and 9 months after the conclusion of the third season in March 2025.

On the other hand, if the season 4 is announced shortly after the end of the season 3, its premiere should occur in July or October 2026, because the average interval between the announcement and the release of Re: Zero seasons is around 1 year and 4 months, as the second season premiered approximately 1 year and 3 months after it was announced, while the season 3 premiered approximately 1 year and 6 months after it was confirmed.

But remember that these are just predictions and should be treated as such.
