SLIME TIME! That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 Confirmed for April 2026 Premiere!

Get ready to dive back into the world of monsters and magic, fellow adventurers! The absolute monarch of isekai anime is making its glorious return - That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Tensura) is officially coming back with Season 4 premiering on April 3, 2026, exclusively on Crunchyroll! This isn’t just any sequel announcement though - we’re looking at a full-scale invasion of our screens with four cours and an epic movie that’s making 2026 officially “The Year of the Slime!” Rimuru Tempest’s journey continues, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever as his vision for prosperity clashes with hidden powers of the world.

Let’s break down the slime-tastic schedule that awaits us! The upcoming fourth season will be split into four cours (broadcast quarters), meaning we’re getting a full year of Rimuru and the Tempest Kingdom crew. But that’s not all - fans can also look forward to “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea,” which starts airing internationally on April 26, 2026, with a North American release on May 1. The sheer scale of this content drop proves that Rimuru’s popularity shows no signs of slowing down. With the best-selling isekai light novel series as its foundation, this season promises to deliver even more world-building, political intrigue, and of course, mind-blowing battles that showcase Rimuru’s incredible evolution from a simple slime to a demon king with unimaginable power.

While Crunchyroll surprised everyone by not dropping a new trailer (they actually just re-uploaded the same trailer from two years ago!), the fan excitement remains at an all-time high. This is partly because the news isn’t exactly unexpected - back in December 2025, it was already revealed that the anime would return in April and be split into four cours. What makes this franchise truly special is how it balances over-the-top action with surprisingly deep political world-building. Rimuru isn’t just collecting allies and getting stronger - he’s building a nation, establishing diplomatic relations, and creating a new paradigm for monster-kind. Whether you’re here for the epic battles, the charismatic characters, or the innovative take on the isekai genre, Season 4 of Tensura is shaping up to be the ultimate power fantasy. So mark your calendars, slime fans - April 2026 is when we all return to the fantasy world where even the lowliest slime can become the ruler of all!
