The Overlord Sei Ōkoku-hen live special confirms that the new Overlord anime movie will premiere sometime in 2024! This new film was originally announced in 2021, but news about its development has been scarce until now.
An Overlord live special in 2021 confirmed that a third movie was decided. Just one year later, the fourth season of Overlord began in July 2022. Overlord Season 4 ran for a single cour with 13 episodes, but fans won’t have to wait much longer for the new anime film.
New Overlord Anime Movie On the Way
During the Overlord Sei Ōkoku-hen live special, anime cast members Satoshi Hino (Ains), Yumi Hara (Albedo), and Masayuki Katou (Demiurge) confirmed the new Overlord: The Holy Kingdom movie will premiere in 2024. Further details about the movie, its cast and staff, and the plot, were not revealed, however. Fortunately, it’s only a matter of time before Overlord fans get the latest film in the series.
The first season of the Overlord anime series premiered in July 2015, with Funimation streaming the series. Season 2 premiered roughly two and a half years later in January 2018, and the third season would follow just a few months later in July 2018. Once more, the fourth season came in July 2022. All four seasons received an English dub.
Kugane Maruyama started the Overlord light novel series in 2010, and Kadokawa would publish the series in print two years later with its Enterbrain imprint. Yen Press publishes the novel series and the manga adaptation by Hugin Miyama and Satoshi Ōshio in North America.
All four seasons of Overlord and the previous two Overlord movies are available to stream now on Crunchyroll. Here’s an overview of the anime from the streaming service:
When a popular MMORPG is scheduled to be shut down permanently, veteran player Momonga refuses to log out. As NPCs begin to develop personalities and minds of their own he decides to put his skills to use as the game’s new overlord.
