Re:Zero Season 5 Officially Announced at the Anime's 10th Anniversary Event

Re:Zero Season 5 is confirmed: Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World will return for a fifth season. The team announced it this Saturday, November 14, 2026, during the TV Anime Re:Zero 10th Event − Starlight Party −, held at Tachikawa Stage Garden in Tokyo. The confirmation is the tenth and final of the ten major projects celebrating the anime's 10th anniversary.

Alongside the announcement, the team released a new ultra teaser visual featuring Subaru Natsuki and Rem, with the tagline “For you, I would do it, any number of times.”

A message from the author

Original light novel author Tappei Nagatsuki celebrated the announcement in a statement shared by the anime's official account: “Season 5! What an incredible number!” He thanked the fans and the staff who keep the series going, and teased that the journey through the seventh arc will be every bit as brutal as the last one, with the difficulty “cranked all the way up to inferno” — but also with new encounters and developments he cannot wait to see in anime form.

Re:Zero Season 5: what is known — and what has not been revealed yet

  • Confirmed: production of Season 5 has been decided.
  • No date: no premiere window has been announced.
  • No staff announced publicly: the studio, director and cast for the new season have not been revealed.
  • Next arc: following the order of the light novel, the next arc to be adapted is the Vollachia Empire arc, Arc 7 — a logical expectation, not an official confirmation.

Context

The first season of Re:Zero premiered in 2016, adapting Nagatsuki's light novel with illustrations by Shinichirou Otsuka. Season 4, animated by studio WHITE FOX and directed by Masahiro Shinohara, adapted Arc 6, light novel volumes 21 to 25, and ended on September 30, 2026, with an extended finale of about 45 minutes. Season 4 also topped Anime Corner's Spring and Summer 2026 seasonal polls. Confirmation of Re:Zero Season 5 comes about six weeks after Season 4 ended.
