Will there be season 5 of Overlord?
Madhouse Studio hasn’t yet officially confirmed that there will be a fifth season of Overlord in the near future. But we can expect to see another season of the series as the team is having numerous valid reasons to renew the series.
There are certain speculations that season 5 will also be the last season of the series because writer Kugane has revealed that the light novel will end with the 17th volume release.
Overlord Season 5 Release Date and Time
Since the team hasn’t yet revealed any information regarding the new season’s production, it will be hard to speculate the release date. Most of the staff and voice cast members are expected to reprise their respective roles.
