The first two seasons of the anime were not separated by a long interval. The second installment was released the following year, following the same release schedule as the previous one, which came out in January. However, KonoSuba season 3 took six years to return due to factors such as a change in production studio and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nevertheless, to keep fans entertained, the anime released a spin-off called KonoSuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World! It serves as a prequel to the original series, focusing on Megumin's journey to master explosion magic, a spell known for its power but impracticality. The spin-off concluded on June 22, 2023.
Although no exact release dates have been disclosed yet, the most likely timeframe for the release of season 3 of KonoSuba would be in January 2024, following the patterns set by the previous installments.
