Overlord Season 4 Release Date, Plot and More Updates

The Overlord Season 4 Release Date & Plot is anticipated to be published shortly, according to a statement made during a special live broadcast event on May 8th, 2021, along with a fresh new film.

Overlord is one of those anime shows that builds up the storyline and character development gradually. There is no going back after the first 3 or 4 episodes. You could watch the entire season of Overlord in one sitting and never get tired.

Overlord is a Japanese light novel series authored by Kugane Maruyama. 14 volumes have been published from the series’ initial release in 2021. Studio Madhouse is presently producing three anime seasons. The first season premiered in September 2015, and the third season premiered in January 2018.

According to Studio Madhouse, the Overlord movie that is said to release along with Overload season 4 will adapt the “Holy Kingdom Arc,” which is the tale of volumes 12 and 13 of the light novel series. When the kingdom is besieged by the demon emperor Jaldabaoth in “Holy Kingdom Arc,” the kingdom has no choice but to join forces with the lord of death, Ainz Ooal Gown, to defeat the demon.

The plot of Volume 11 will centre on Ainz’s attempt to ally with the dwarf kingdom.

Release Date

Studio Madhouse has yet to confirm Overlord Season 4 release date.  According to fan speculations, Overlord Season 4 is expected to premiere in early 2022. Because the film adapts the plot after the events of Season 4, the film will most likely be released after the debut of Season 4.

You may read the light book series if you can’t wait for the anime to return and want to know what happens next in the tale. Overlord currently contains 14 volumes. However, the anime only adapted the plot from the first 9 volumes till season 3. Volume 10 is a good place to start reading a light novel. Fun fact: The series’ author has said that the tale would be completed in 17 volumes.
