The future of the anime series is still uncertain, but most fans are confident that the franchise’s popularity would be enough to secure “Overlord” season 4. If anime viewers are lucky, the fourth installment could be released within a couple of years and could even have more episodes than there were in earlier seasons.

The future of the anime series is still uncertain, but most fans are confident that the franchise’s popularity would be enough to secure “Overlord” season 4. If anime viewers are lucky, the fourth installment could be released within a couple of years and could even have more episodes than there were in earlier seasons.

While cliffhangers are typically used in anime shows, using this strategy for “Overlord” season 4 could be tricky because the future of the show beyond the fourth installment is much more difficult to predict. Light novel creator Kugane Murayama has yet to detail plans for volumes beyond the 14th installment.

With that, it appears that a better option for the anime series is to have more episodes in “Overlord” season 4. This makes better sense instead of disrupting the light-novel-to-anime pacing that fans have been familiar with and force four volumes worth of content in just 13 episodes.

Season 3 ended more than a year ago, but fans still have not heard anything about “Overlord” season 4. Back in August, there was a false alarm that such an announcement was already made during the AnimagiC event. It was later clarified by fans who were present during the panel that what anime writer Yukie Sugawara only said the fourth season production is likely happening. But, overall, nothing is certain yet at the moment.

“Overlord” season 4, whenever it may premiere, would pick up from the latest achievements of Ainz Ooal Gown, which was establishing the Sorcerer Kingdom. But he will soon realize that being a leader of his nation has more challenging aspects and requires more than just proving his strength on the battlefield.

This project here has always been one to be serviceable but safe. By lowering your ambitions you're allowing yourself a rather unproblematic production. It's one way to survive the production climate these days. Ofc I wish they took the ambitious & risky approach but I certainly can't blame them.

Oh well, maybe this will be a good chance for people to learn that every project is unique with a unique cast of people working it and tackling unique issues instead of relying on studio culture as a single entity to get behind why one's dear show turned out like that

We’ve not got much information on the release of Overlord Season 4, but we do have a general idea of what’s happening behind the scenes. Aside from being understaffed, Overlord also has the problem of the novels being close to the anime. When season 3 finished, it ended at a point where the anime needs to wait to be able to continue even further.
