KonoSuba Season 3 - What We Know So Far

There has not yet been an official confirmation for "KonoSuba" Season 3. However, this doesn't quite mean that the anime series is completely off the table, either. What really has fans hopeful for a new season of the anime series is a Reddit AMA from Kadokawa business producer Junichiro Tamura, which took place in 2019. Tamura was primarily involved to promote and talk about "The Rising of the Shield Hero," but with Kadokawa producing the initial "KonoSuba" light novels, questions about a Season 3 for the series came up. Tamura said that "KonoSuba Season 3 has a good chance if the movie does well."

There's been no official statement from Kadokawa about the performance of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Legend of Crimson." However, Crunchyroll reported that the film's opening weekend in the Japanese box office earned it 200 million yen. And Anime News Network reported that in addition to ranking eighth during its opening weekend in Japan, the film's U.S. premiere earned it $1,134,786. As of today, according to Box Office Mojo, the film has made a total of $5,078,942 worldwide. If those numbers look good enough to warrant Season 3, we could still be years away from it. With no confirmation yet on a Season 3 two years after the film, it's not out of place to expect it in 2022 or 2023 if and when it's confirmed.
