One of the most eagerly awaited sequel anime series to premiere in the Fall 2024 season is Re:ZERO season 3. This upcoming season will continue to adapt the acclaimed light novel series by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrator Shin’ichiro Otsuka, with production managed by White Fox studios. The anime will consist of a total of 16 episodes, divided into two split cours, with an eight-week break scheduled between them.
Given this unique split release format, fans are keenly anticipating the developments that Re:ZERO season 3 has prepared for each of its arcs. Interest was certainly amplified by the recent leak of the first 90-minute episode, which has unfortunately been removed from the internet. Nevertheless, fans now have concrete information about the premiere dates of each episode, even if the content remains shrouded in mystery.
How many episodes will Re:ZERO season 3 have?
Confirmed for a total of 16 episodes, Re:ZERO season 3 will be released in two split-cour batches, each containing eight episodes. These batches will be separated by an approximately two-month hiatus. This information was officially confirmed through the second promotional video for the third season released on September 1, 2024, which also designated the two cours as the Attack Arc and Counterattack Arc.
The premiere of the first episode of the first cour is set for Wednesday, October 2, 2024, at 10:30 PM Japanese Standard Time (JST). Most international audiences can expect to stream the episode on the same date, except for a few select regions. Below is the complete release schedule for season 3, including timings for Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), British Summer Time (BST), and India Standard Time (IST):

While this schedule is based on the latest available information, any delays announced for individual episodes will influence the release dates of subsequent episodes. For instance, if there is a delay for episode 4, the release of episodes 5-8 would also be pushed back by one week. However, delays occurring in the first cour are unlikely to impact the release timings of the second cour. Any necessary delays will be communicated weekly if they arise.
Where to watch Re:ZERO season 3
This eagerly awaited sequel series will be broadcast on various Japanese television stations, including AT-X, TOKYO MX, KBS Kyoto, Sun Television, BS11, Television Hokkaido, Aichi Television, and more. However, according to the anime’s official website, only AT-X will be airing the series in the Wednesday 10:30 PM JST timeslot.
Crunchyroll will be streaming both cours of the third season internationally with English subtitles, releasing them weekly as they air in Japan. Additionally, Crunchyroll will offer dubbed versions of the series in several languages, including English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German.
What to expect from Re:ZERO season 3 (speculative)
In season 3, viewers will continue to follow Subaru Natsuki’s journey alongside Emilia, Beatrice, and other companions as they navigate their escape from the Sanctuary depicted in the second season. With Subaru now officially serving as Emilia’s knight, his role will significantly expand in the Royal Selection process alongside her.
However, the Witches Cult appears to be tracking the group to their new path, as indicated by trailers and the titles of the season’s arcs—Attack and Counterattack. Fans can anticipate the return of familiar faces such as Regulus Corneas, as well as the emergence of new cult members.
