Re:Zero Season 4 Returns August 12 With Eight-Episode “Recapture Arc”

The announcement follows a finale that closed the first cour with record user ratings, signaling strong fan momentum for the series.

Overview

  • Episode 11, which wrapped the season’s Loss/Memory Loss Arc in mid-June, received a 10/10 user score on IMDb after roughly 23,000 ratings.
  • Kadokawa confirmed the second cour is titled “The Recapture Arc,” will run for eight episodes, and will begin on August 12, 2026.
  • Multiple reports say Crunchyroll will stream the new cour outside Japan and that the original production staff and cast are returning for the run.
  • Season 4 has become the franchise’s highest-rated season on user platforms, with eight of the first 11 episodes holding IMDb scores above 9 and a MyAnimeList season score near 9.14.
  • The quick second‑cour turnaround and strong fan reception leave industry watchers looking for news on a potential Season 5 and may raise expectations for faster follow-ups in the isekai genre.
