As of now, there is no official announcement regarding the renewal of “How Not to Summon a Demon Lord” for a third season. The production studio, Tezuka Productions, has not confirmed the continuation of the series after its second season concluded in 2021. Despite rumors suggesting a potential release in 2024, no concrete information has been available.
The anime, adapted from Yukiya Murasaki’s light novel series, has faced criticism for its pacing and divergence from the source material, with fans expressing concerns about the faithfulness of the adaptation. The light novel series currently consists of 14 volumes, with the latest published in June 2021. The anime has covered up to seven volumes, leaving ample source material for potential future seasons.
Fans are hopeful for a third season, considering the remaining content from the light novels yet to be adapted. However, until an official announcement is made by the creators or the production studio, the status of “How Not to Summon a Demon Lord” season 3 remains uncertain. Anime enthusiasts are encouraged to stay tuned for updates on official platforms like Crunchyroll and Funimation for any developments regarding the series.
The story follows Takuma Sakamoto, a gamer who gets magically transported into the world of his favorite MMORPG, Cross Reverie. In this new world, he takes on the appearance of his in-game character, the powerful Demon Lord Diablo. Two girls, Rem and Shera, accidentally summon him to make him their servant, but things go awry due to Takuma’s magic ring, reflecting the spell back on them. Now, Rem and Shera become Takuma’s servants instead of the other way around.
Facing social anxiety, Takuma decides to act like his game character and uses his impressive game knowledge and stats to navigate the unfamiliar world. Together with Rem and Shera, he embarks on a journey to find a way to remove the magical collars that bind them. Along the way, they confront personal issues and challenges that led the girls to summon Takuma in the first place.
