Masahiro Shinohara is directing the new season, with Haruka Sagawa as the character designer.
What will Re:Zero Season 3 adapt?
Re:Zero Season 3 will adapt The Stars That Engrave History Arc, which begins in Volume 16 of the light novel series written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shinichirou Ootsuka. The official plot description for Vol. 16 reads:
A CITY OF HIDDEN DEPTHS! In the year since the Battle of the Sanctuary, Subaru Natsuki has been busy honing his skills alongside Emilia and the other members of their merry band. Still, these peaceful days cannot carry on forever-and it is none other than Anastasia, Emilia’s rival in the royal selection, who brings their respite to an end with an unexpected hand-delivered letter bearing an invitation to the famous Water Gate City of Pristella. Despite their suspicions about the sudden request, they accept and set off for the trade hub that lies at the kingdom’s border. There, among the inviting canals and dazzling streets, await old friends, new faces, and a hidden menace lurking in the shadows!
The Re:Zero franchise also spawned a manga adaptation, side stories, and videogames. For more information about the next season, check out everything we know about Re:Zero Season 3 in our detailed article.
