The anime series Overlord has been in the news for the release of its newest season. Fans all over the world are anticipating the fourth season. Though Madhouse studio has not disclosed anything related to the anime’s next installment. There have been many reports made in relation to the confirmation of season four’s release in this year.

Since no confirmed report has been made it cannot be stated for certain that season four will come this year. But a release this year cannot be outright denied. Overlord season three was last aired in October 2018. There have been many reports giving out false assertions about the anime series’ future.

Is Season 4 confirmed?

Many reports claim that the fourth season is proven to be released this year. Ironically there isn’t even an official announcement regarding the renewal of the fourth season by the official studios. The new season is not confirmed to be released yet.

Several discussions on Reddit have concluded that Overlord is too popular to not be continued.

A lot of things are taken into account when deciding over the release of a new installment of an anime series. Their initial seasons’ success clearly matter as well as the original matter of light novels. In case of the anime series Overlord the limited amount of material available for filming also resulted in the delay of release of the next season.

Fans should continue with the light novels

Speculating the release date it is not wise to assume that it will be aired this year. Madhouse has not made any announcements regarding the anime’s status. Fans can hope for new light novel installments to be incorporated into anime in the coming several months or in the year 2021. Fans can read the light novels to stay on course with the story.
