Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World will return for a fifth season, announced at the franchise's 10th anniversary event in Tokyo on November 14, 2026. No release date has been set.
Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World will return for a fifth season, Crunchyroll and KADOKAWA confirmed at the franchise's 10th anniversary event, "TV Anime 'Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World' 10th EVENT -Starlight Party-," held on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at Tachikawa Stage Garden in Tokyo.
The announcement included the first official Season 5 visual, which depicts Subaru Natsuki playfully holding Rem's hand as they embark on a new journey. KADOKAWA also released an ultra teaser visual with Natsuki Subaru and Rem and the tagline "For you, again and again."
Tappei Nagatsuki, the original author of Re:Zero, celebrated the Season 5 announcement while warning fans that Subaru's next adventure will be even more challenging than the last.
"Congratulations!" he said via the official website. "The production of the 5th season of the anime Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World has been decided! [...] I have nothing but gratitude for all of you who have supported us this far, and for the staff and cast who continue to deliver the work to you!
"And of course, for the characters who continue to face their harsh fate! The 6th chapter, which was the scope of the 4th season, was said to be the most difficult in Re:Zero yet, but rest assured! The road to the following 7th chapter is also extremely difficult, and the difficulty level is inferno. The story continues with a reassuringly heartbreaking (not a typo) design that will not disappoint your expectations! Of course, it's not all hardship, and there are plenty of new encounters, heart-pounding developments, and scenes that you can't wait to see and show in the anime!
"From here on out, let's make it a journey that will exceed your imagination! Now, Natsuki Subaru, the next battle begins! For the 5th season of the anime, tremble with anticipation and excitement along with the author!"
