Re:Zero Season 3 ran from October 2024 to March 2025 and won Best Isekai Anime at the 2026 Crunchyroll Anime Awards. Season 4, from White Fox, then aired from April 8 to September 30, 2026 in two parts. As of November 2026 we found no official announcement of a Season 5.

What happened since Season 3
Season 3 adapted Arc 5 of Tappei Nagatsuki's light novels in two parts, the "Attack Arc" and the "Counterattack Arc", across 16 episodes. It was directed by Masahiro Shinohara at White Fox, who took over from Masaharu Watanabe. A fourth season was announced right after Season 3 ended.
Kadokawa announced in March 2026 that Season 4 would premiere on April 8, 2026 with 19 episodes in two arcs: the 11-episode "Loss Arc" from April 8 and the 8-episode "Recapture Arc" from August 12. Shinohara returned as director, with Masahiro Yokotani on series composition and Haruka Segawa on character design. Crunchyroll streamed it. The opening is "Reconnect" by Konomi Suzuki and Ashnikko, and the ending is "Ender Ember" by MYTH and ROID with TK. Wikipedia lists the final episode as September 30, 2026, which matches the weekly schedule from August 12.
At the Crunchyroll Anime Awards results published in May 2026, Season 3 won Best Isekai Anime, according to both Anime Corner and Cartoon Brew.
Background
Re:Zero follows Subaru Natsuki, who is pulled into another world and returns to an earlier point each time he dies. The first season aired in 2016, and the story has grown into a long political and emotional drama set in the kingdom of Lugunica, as the royal selection and the witches' influence move to the foreground. Season 4 adapts the next arc, Arc 6, of the light novels, according to Wikipedia.
What it means
This section is our own analysis. White Fox kept the same director and designer for two seasons in a row, which is part of why the look stayed steady across the split cours. The two-part format has become standard for this series, and it gives the staff a break without a long gap. With Season 4 finished, the next step depends on whether Kadokawa announces Season 5. We found no such announcement, and any talk of its timing is speculation. We will update this page if one appears.
