That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 and Upcoming Film Production Announcement

On Friday, September 27, 2024, officials announced a promotional video (PV) and visual following the conclusion of season 3, confirming the production of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 4 and the franchise’s second film. However, specific release dates were not provided.

The beloved anime That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is adapted from the Japanese light novel series created by Fuse (author) and illustrated by Mitz Vah. Fuse initiated the series as a web novel on the Shosetsuka ni Naro platform in 2013, after which Micro Magazine secured the rights to publish the light novels under its GC Novels imprint. The light novels have since inspired a manga adaptation illustrated by Taiki Kawakami.

The announcement confirmed that That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 4 and the second movie for the franchise have officially been green-lit for production.

As the recently finished season 3 adapted multiple arcs including The Saint and the Monster arc, Territory Seizure Arc, and Opening of the Monster City Arc (The Founder’s Festival Arc), That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 4 is likely to commence with the adaptation of The Majin Behind The Scenes Arc.

Fans can anticipate seeing Rimuru Tempest and his team confronting a powerful Demon Lord, who poses a threat to an Otherworlder in Rimuru’s care. The forthcoming season may also feature adaptations of the Awakening of the Chosen Hero Arc and The Eve of the War Arc.
