Re:ZERO Season 4 Officially Announced
Season 4 of Re:ZERO: Starting Life in Another World is officially in production, as announced earlier today. A special teaser video featuring Emilia and Subaru has been revealed, as well as a teaser visual.
This is the first time that a Re:ZERO sequel was announced while a season was still airing. The third season of the anime concluded earlier today.
Emilia and Subaru's voice actors, Rie Takahashi and Yusuke Kobayashi released statements regarding the new season announcement.
Did you think we'd wait another four years? We won't keep you waiting!
We have decided to produce a fourth season! There's that girl we missed, Subaru is not in his jersey, there are people who used to be enemies, Julius has a sad face, and the teaser visual alone is enough to bring up all kinds of feelings. Please look forward to the broadcast to see what kind of scenery the next season will show us!

This is actually the first time that Re:ZERO, which has had three seasons, has been able to announce a sequel right after the anime has aired.
I'm sure the shock of the final episode will be quite a big one, but first of all, let's rejoice in the reward of this announcement! Victory!!!
I hope you all will continue to be excited about RE:ZERO, and please don't forget about him!
Please look forward to it!
Once again, thank you so much for your support!
