![]() ![]() Like a lot of isekai series, Overlord started out as a web novel. Eventually, it became popular enough to be turned into a light novel series, which in turn, has become popular enough for the franchise to secure a manga as well as an anime. Currently, the Overlord anime has had three seasons produced by Madhouse, which have covered 9 of the 13 light novel volumes that have been released so far. What Do We Know about Season 4 of Overlord? Due to this, it is natural for people to wonder about a hypothetical fourth season, particularly since Seasons 2 and 3 came out within a short time of one another. Season 4 of Overlord has not been confirmed at this point in time. However, considering the numbers for the Overlord anime as well as the Overlord light novels, it seems probable that said season will happen at some point in time. As a result, the bigger issue is when it will happens. ![]() With that said, a Season 4 might not happen for a while, not because there isn’t consumer interest but because there are various challenges that need to be overcome before it can be made. In short, the Overlord light novels have a serious issue in that they don’t necessarily follow chronological order. ![]() Instead, they like to revisit the same scenes from different perspectives, thus providing more information in the process.

Unfortunately, they need more of the source material than usual for the upcoming segment because it is a longer-than-normal narrative arc. Even worse, the author of the Overlord light novels hasn’t always been perfect about making his writing deadlines, meaning that the whole thing is a case of complications compounded by complications. Still, a Season 4 is bound to happen at some point in time. ![]()
