After the release of Season 4’s last episode, “The Witch of the Falling Kingdom,” by Studio Madhouse, the producers have left the fandom yearning for more of Ainz’s story. With millions of viewers of the immensely successful anime series Overlord, fans are now eagerly anticipating Season 5.
Is There an Overlord Season 5 Release Date?
The next season is probably the final, although there’s no release date announced. The author Kugane Maruyama mentions he would like the light novels to conclude with Volume 18.
Overlord Season 5’s Potential Cast
Fans of Overlord look forward to seeing the return of several familiar faces for Season 5.
Ainz Ooal Gown, the protagonist, has been the central character of Overlord from the start, playing the role of a former salaryman who finds himself transported to a mysterious planet.
Some of the floor guardians who battled in previous seasons will be joining Ainz, and some of them may even join him in his pursuit of power.
Several creatures who served as floor guards include the succubus Albedo, the demonic Demiurge (who wears a suit), and the dark elf twins Mare Bello Fiore and Aura Bella Fiora.
Below is a complete roster of everyone you can expect to see in Overlord Season 5:
- Albedo – Yumi Hara (Japanese) / Elizabeth Maxwell (English)
- Aura Bella Fiora – Emiri Katō (Japanese) / Jill Harris (English)
- Ainz Ooal Gown – Satoshi Hino (Japanese) / Chris Guerrero (English)
- Antilene Heran Fouche – Yukari Tamura (Japanese) / Monica Rial (English)
- Demiurge – Masayuki Katou (Japanese) / Jeff Johnson (English)
- Lumière – Saori Ōnishi (Japanese) / Jennifer Alyx (English)
- Mare Bello Fiore – Yumi Uchiyama (Japanese) / Megan Shipman (English)
Overlord Season 5: What Could Have Happened?
The release date of the show’s fifth season is still up in the air. However, we expect it to go into the last arc based on Kugane Maruyama’s light novel. The serialization of the light novel began in 2010 and is still going strong. There are a total of sixteen volumes, with the anime covering chapters one through eleven. Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom, the next anime film, is likely to cover volumes 12 and 13.
That leaves volumes 14–18 as possible episodes for season 5. Maruyama still hasn’t dropped Vol. 17 and Vol. 18. Hence, Overlord Season 5 is likely to include these Volumes in the episode. The Planet of Overlord appears to be teetering on the brink of collapse due to the breakdown of the conflict. War is declared between Nazarick and the Re-Estize Kingdom. Ainz Ooal Gown, the protagonist, has issues with it right away.
Fans were able to witness the Re-Estize and Sorcerer kingdoms fight it out from the start of the War of Annihilation. On the other hand, the main character of the anime is already facing a lot of problems because Ainz’s guild headquarters appear to be right in the center of the battlefield. So, to calm things down, he and his fellow guild members have decided to defend their headquarters and guild by bringing down the Sorcerer Kingdom. Ainz will make wiser choices even as the battle heightens the difficulties.
