Subaru Fights the Witch Cult in Re:Zero Season 3
As its long full title indicates, Re:Zero is an isekai anime. In it, we follow Subaru Natsuki, a hikikomori sufferer, who gets transported into a fantasy world on his way home from the convenience store.
There, he tries to help Emilia, a half-elf and a candidate for the Kingdom of Lugulia's throne. This attempt, however, costs him his life.
To his surprise, he wakes a few hours in the past. After a few more deaths, Subaru understands his newfound ability; he can return each time he dies.
Subaru decides to apply this gift to help Emilia win the throne. On the way, he makes many friends.
To complicate matters, Subaru undergoes a lot of pain each time he dies, not to mention that he carries traumatic memories of his many deaths, which are forgotten by everyone but him.
Judging from the first teaser, the new season will adapt the arc wherein Emilia and her friends visit Anastasia in Watergate City.
Unfortunately, they get trapped when the Witch Cult captures the city. Subaru must now unite all the neighboring tribes to gain enough support to rescue Emilia and the others.
If you would like to do some reading ahead, Re:Zero is based on a light novel written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shin'ichirō Ōtsuka.
There's also a manga adaptation by the same author with art by Daichi Matsuse.

Re:Zero Season 3's October 2024 Release Window Revealed
It has been a long time coming, but finally, Re:Zero Season 3 has an official release window.
In the new trailer released at AnimeJapan 2024, the third season was confirmed to premiere in October 2024. For now, there's no word yet on an official release date.
As there was a gap of nearly four years between Season 1 and Season 2, it's no surprise that Seasons 2 and 3 also have a four-year gap between them.
Our Re:Zero Season 3 Release Date Predictions
Looking back at the previous seasons, Re:Zero has routinely premiered early in the month.
For starters, the first season aired on April 4, 2016. Then, Season 2 Part 1 premiered on July 8, 2020, with Part 2 airing on January 6, 2021.
Thus, it's likely that we'll see the series premiere early in October.
As all of the show's previous premieres happened on a Wednesday, we predict that Re:Zero Season 3 will premiere either on October 2 or 9, 2024.
Where to Watch Re:Zero Season 3
Re:Zero Season 3 will likely join the show's previous seasons on Crunchyroll. There's no announcement yet from Crunchyroll regarding Season 3 streaming plans though.
The first two seasons got English dubs too, so we expect the same to happen with Season 3.
