Re:Zero season 3 did not come out in 2026. It aired in autumn 2024, ran 16 episodes and finished. The season that aired through 2026 is season 4, which began on 8 April 2026, ran 19 episodes and finished on 30 September 2026.
This page previously said season 3 was arriving in 2026. That was wrong, and it was corrected on 29 September 2026 against the AniList entries for both seasons.
The timeline, corrected
| Season 1 | 2016, 25 episodes |
| Season 2 | 2020 to 2021, split across two cours |
| Season 3 | 2 October 2024, 16 episodes, finished |
| Season 4 | 8 April 2026 to 30 September 2026, 19 episodes |
| Studio | WHITE FOX throughout |
| Season 5 | Not announced |
Season 4 is the longest run the series has had
Nineteen episodes across two quarters is more than season 3’s sixteen and more than either half of season 2. It aired continuously from April rather than splitting into parts, which is unusual for this production and made the season feel like one sustained arc rather than two halves stitched together.
The finale aired on 30 September 2026, so the season is complete and can be watched in one run. Checked against AniList on 6 November 2026: season 4 ran 19 episodes from 8 April to 30 September 2026 and is complete, and season 3 ran 16 episodes from 2 October 2024 to 26 March 2025.
Watch order if you are catching up
Season 1, then season 2, then season 3, then season 4. The various Break Time shorts and OVAs are side material and can be skipped without losing the plot, though the OVAs are worth it if you like the cast. WHITE FOX has animated every part of it, so the look stays consistent across the whole run, which is rare for a series spanning ten years.
Is there a season 5?
Nothing has been announced. Given the roughly eighteen month gap between season 3 in 2024 and season 4 in 2026, another season would not be a surprise, but there is no date, no staff announcement and no confirmation today. We will update this page if that changes rather than publishing a guess as a fact.
Where to watch
Crunchyroll carries the series in most territories, including the current season as it airs.
