Big news for fans of Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World! The franchise is gearing up for its fourth season, which is officially slated to drop in April 2026. No exact day has been confirmed yet, but the “April” window is locked in.
We also got a peek at some new cast announcements:
– Konomi Kohara will join as the voice of Rui.
– Fairouz Ai is set to voice a character named Shaula.
– Tomokazu Sugita is on board as Reid Astrea.
For those catching up: Re:Zero began as a light-novel by Tappei Nagatsuki and Shinichirou Otsuka, first published in print back in 2014 after its origins online. The story follows Subaru Natsuki, a seemingly ordinary high-schooler who suddenly finds himself transported to a fantasy world. There he meets Emilia, a silver-haired half-elf, and pledges his loyalty to her. But things go wrong—very wrong. Subaru discovers he has the ability to rewind time whenever he dies, yet the memory of his deaths stays with him alone. This power drags him into a web of conspiracies, violent plots and the royal politics of Lugunica.
With Season 4 arriving in April, fans are already buzzing: What battles will Subaru face next? What new mysteries will he uncover? And how will this time-reset mechanic keep evolving now that past arcs laid so much groundwork?
Some thoughts & expectations:
With the April 2026 release, we’re roughly a year away, which suggests production and marketing will ramp up soon—trailers, teasers and maybe previews at anime conventions could pop up in the coming months.
The new cast additions imply fresh characters, so we might be diving deeper into unexplored story arcs from the novels—possibly new factions or entirely new threats.
Given how emotionally and psychologically intense previous seasons have been, there’s high expectation for Season 4 to raise the stakes even further—both in scale and inner turmoil for Subaru
Fans should keep tabs on the official channels for exact release dates, streaming region info, and whether dubbed versions will drop at the same time or later. Mark your calendars and refresh your memory with previous seasons because April 2026 is shaping up to be a major moment for the series.
