While a fourth season of KonoSuba hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, it is likely that the new season will adapt the Axis Cult vs. Eris Cult arc from the light novels. If Season 4 gets the green light, we could see a release as early as Winter 2026, with potential changes to the production team.
Here’s everything you need to know about the possible return of KonoSuba and what to expect if the next season is confirmed.
KonoSuba: A Global Isekai Favorite
KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! began as a light novel series written by Natsume Akatsuki in 2013. Over the years, it has become one of the most successful and beloved isekai franchises, with over 10 million copies sold worldwide. It consistently ranks among the top 20 best-selling light novels of all time.
The show’s humorous plot centers around Kazuma Satou, who finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world. Alongside his quirky party members, he embarks on hilarious adventures as they attempt to defeat the Demon King. This perfect blend of comedy and fantasy has earned the show a massive, dedicated fanbase.
A Look at KonoSuba’s Seasons and Movie
So far, the KonoSuba anime universe includes three full seasons and a feature-length movie. The first two seasons were directed by Takaomi Kanasaki and produced by Studio Deen, while Studio Drive took over animation for Season 3 with Yujiro Abe directing. Additionally, a new OVA episode is currently in the works.
Although a fourth season has yet to be confirmed, it’s expected that Studio Drive and Kanasaki could return if production begins.
The first season aired in January 2016, followed by Season 2 in January 2017, and the movie KonoSuba: Legend of Crimson in 2019. Season 3 was released in 2024, leaving fans wondering if KonoSuba Season 4 Episode 1 will be on the horizon.
Expected Release Date for KonoSuba Season 4
As of now, Studio Drive hasn’t provided any official confirmation about Season 4, and there’s no release date available. However, speculation suggests that an announcement could come as early as mid-2025, with the potential for a late 2025 release.
Currently, there are no trailers or key visuals for Season 4, but based on the studio’s other ongoing projects like Uzumaki, a late 2025 confirmation is plausible. Fans are eager for updates, and we will share any new information as soon as it’s available.
With its massive popularity, the likelihood of KonoSuba Season 4 being greenlit is high. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned as excitement for the next installment continues to build.
KonoSuba Season 4 Plot Expectations
The anime adaptation has covered volumes 1 through 7 of the KonoSuba light novel series, while the movie tackled volume 5. As a result, volume 8 of the series will be the likely starting point for Season 4. If you’re eager for the continuation, you can dive into KonoSuba Volume 8 in English while waiting.
In Japan, 17 volumes of the KonoSuba light novels have been released, with the series wrapping up in May 2020. Should Season 4 be produced, it would likely cover volumes 8 and 9, possibly in another 10- to 11-episode season.
If Studio Drive continues its adaptation, it could take five more seasons to fully cover the remaining volumes. Even if production began immediately, it would take over six years to complete the adaptation of all available content from the KonoSuba franchise.
