KonoSuba is getting a fourth season. Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 4 was confirmed for a 2027 debut at the franchise's Colorful 10th-anniversary event, with an "ultra teaser" visual and most of the creative team returning. For a comedy that built its name on chaotic party dynamics, keeping the staff intact is the headline.

Quick answer

KonoSuba Season 4 premieres in 2027, produced by studio ENGI with Manabu Kurihara directing and Takaomi Kanasaki as chief director. Makoto Uezu returns on series composition, Koichi Kikuta on character design. It adapts the light novels by Natsume Akatsuki and Kurone Mishima. Previous seasons streamed on Crunchyroll. SenpaiRanks tracks the KonoSuba entries across its isekai ranking, so you can compare each season's Consensus and Quality scores side by side.

Who is making it

ENGI produced Season 3 and stays on for four, with Takaomi Kanasaki — who directed the original run — supervising as chief director and Manabu Kurihara stepping in as director. Makoto Uezu writes, Koichi Kikuta handles character design, Yoshikazu Iwanami runs sound, and Masato Kōda scores. That is close to a full band reunion, which matters for a comedy whose timing lives or dies on consistency.

What was revealed

The announcement dropped at the Colorful anniversary event alongside a 10th-anniversary video featuring a new arrangement of the opening theme "fantastic dreamer." Here is the teaser:

When you can watch it

Season 4 is dated to 2027 — no exact month yet. Streaming wasn't spelled out in the announcement, but every prior season has landed on Crunchyroll, so that is the safe bet for the simulcast. While you wait, the best isekai anime 2026 ranked list and the fall 2026 sequels and returns hub cover what to slot in the meantime.

Worth a slot?

KonoSuba is one of the few isekai comedies that critics and casual viewers agree on, and a fourth season with the original chief director attached is a strong signal. Its position on SenpaiRanks's isekai ranking holds steady — open its catalog page and rate the seasons you've seen to see how your taste stacks against the crowd. If you like your comedy with a fall-2026 pedigree, Ranma ½ Season 3 is the other big revival worth watching.
