The anime adaptation of KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! has been officially announced for a fourth season, now in production. The announcement was made on January 13, 2026, by the series' official Twitter account, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the anime. The series follows Kazuma Satō, who is reincarnated into a fantasy world after his death and chooses the goddess Aqua as his companion, only to find her largely useless. He is joined by the masochistic crusader Darkness and explosion-obsessed mage Megumin. The third season aired in 2024, and the wait for the fourth season has been shorter than the gap between the second and third seasons. A premiere date for the new season has not yet been announced.
