'TenSura' Season 4 Begins Broadcasting April 3
The 4th season of the TV anime 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' will begin a continuous 2-cour broadcast on Nippon TV and other networks starting April 3, 2026.
The 4th season of the popular TV anime "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" will begin broadcasting on Nippon TV and its networks from Friday, April 3, 2026. According to the official website, it will be broadcast every Friday at 11 PM on the "FRIDAY ANIME NIGHT" block across a 30-station network nationwide, and also on BS11 from Saturday, April 4 at 10 PM. Following the 3rd season, it will run for two consecutive cours, showcasing its strong presence as a flagship title of the spring anime season.
For this 4th season, broadcast information was released on January 15, followed by the first key visual and promotional video (PV) on March 3. The new visual emphasizes not only the solidarity of the Tempest faction built up so far, but also the tension with opposing forces. The PV is filled with cuts suggesting large-scale battles and political maneuvering, making it not just an announcement of a sequel, but content that impresses the scale of the next chapter.
The streaming rollout after broadcast is also fast. The official ON AIR page announces that both unlimited and pay-per-view streaming will start sequentially from 11 PM on Saturday, April 4, listing major services like ABEMA Premium, Netflix, U-NEXT, Hulu, dAnime Store, and DMM TV. Furthermore, catch-up streaming is scheduled to begin at midnight on Wednesday, April 8, on ABEMA and TVer, a lineup making it easily accessible to those who find terrestrial viewing difficult.
"TenSura" has increased its depth as an IP through theatrical versions and spin-off developments, in addition to the expansion of cumulative series sales. The 4th season, backed by this accumulation, is seen to enter a phase where the story advances into a larger conflict structure. Considering the broadcast slot, the continuous 2-cour run, and the breadth of the streaming network shown in the official announcement, it is poised to be one of the leading works of the spring 2026 cour in both audience scale and buzz.
