Re:ZERO Season 4 Release Tracker
This is a living Re:ZERO Season 4 release tracker, updated as news drops: current status, the full announcement timeline, what the season will cover, English dub info and where to watch when it airs.

Our honest read: Cour 2 'The Recapture' (8 eps) starts August 12, 2026 — which puts its finale around late September / early October 2026. Expect a possible Season 5 / Arc 7 tease in or after the cour-2 finale, but no Season 5 has been officially announced yet.

🗞️ What we know — announcement timeline

📖 What it will cover
Arc 6, the Pleiades Watchtower / 'Corridor of Memories' saga (light-novel volumes ~21-25). 'The Loss' and 'The Recapture' are the two cour subtitles, each adapting a half of Arc 6 — heavy psychological horror, the Corridor of Memories, major Witch of Envy lore, and the search to wake Rem.
🔚 Where Season 3 ended
Arc 5, the Battle of Priestella, with Rem still in her unending sleep and Julius's name eaten by Gluttony — leaving Subaru to press on without them. New to the series? See our Re:ZERO watch order for the full path including the OVAs.
Keep reading: Season 4 adapts through roughly LN volume 25, so to read ahead continue from volume 26 (Arc 7, the Vollachian Imperial Capital), which begins after the Pleiades Watchtower events.
🎙️ English dub
Crunchyroll has streamed a same-day English Simuldub throughout the season (directed by Chris Hackney), with no delay versus the Japanese broadcast. Cour 2 is expected to continue the same-day dub from August 12.
📺 Where to watch
- Crunchyroll (exclusive — Americas, Europe, Africa, Oceania, Middle East, CIS, India, SEA)
