Re: ZERO’s first three seasons premiered in 2016, 2020, and 2024, with the latter two being released in split cours.
The isekai light novel series written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shinichiro Otsuka. It was first published on January 24, 2014 under the MF Bunko J imprint associated with Kadokawa’s Media Factory brand. A total of 46 volumes have been released in Japan as of September 2026. The series began as a web novel on Shosetsuka ni Naro in April 2012. Yen Press publishes the light novels in English.
The light novels have also inspired several manga (which are also available in English from Yen Press) and video games.
Kadokawa describes the synopsis of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 as:
In the deadly battle at the Watergate City of Priestella, Subaru and his allies barely emerged victorious—but their triumph came at a great cost.
Through the “Authority of Gluttony,” Rem remains in an unending sleep, while Crusch’s memories and even Julius’s name were devoured.
As he searches for a way to save them, Subaru learns of the “wise man” Shaula—an all-seeing being said to possess every form of knowledge.
His next destination is the Pleiades Watchtower, home to a wise man, the farthest tower standing in the vast, uncharted desert known as the Auguria Dunes—a place so perilous that even the mightiest “Sword Saint,” Reinhard, failed to conquer it.
The fury of nature, unknown mabeasts, and unimaginable dangers lie ahead.
Together with his friends, Subaru embarks on a life-risking journey to reclaim what was lost.
