The second season, titled ‘How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω’, was produced by Tezuka Productions, recognized for works like ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets’. Originally airing from April 9 to June 11, 2021, on JNN in Japan, the anime holds Crunchyroll and Funimation licenses.

How Not To Summon A Demon Lord Season 3 Release Date Prediction
Confirmation of a third season for ‘How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord’ is pending. The second season wrapped on June 11, 2021, with no hints of a sequel.
Although ‘How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord’ didn’t earn high MyAnimeList ratings (6.86 for S1, 6.72 for S2), the creators moved forward with season 2 despite season 1’s performance. This is because the rating is normal for Isekai-Harem shows.
Besides, the popularity of the show matters more than the rating. In the case of this ecchi-harem show with an isekai setting, that is not a problem. It is ranked #274 for popularity on MyAnimeList, which is promising.
After waiting nearly three years for the second season, if the third season follows suit, expect it around late 2024 or 2025.
Is There Enough Source Material For A Sequel?
Our article began by mentioning the original light novel How Not to Summon a Demon Lord, authored by Yukiya Murasaki and illustrated by Takahiro Tsurusaki. The renowned manga publisher Kodansha published the light novel on December 2, 2014.
This ongoing series spans 14 volumes, aligning well with the anime adaptation. As a result, how much of the light novel made it into the anime? Thankfully, the initial two seasons covered the first eight volumes, leaving six more for potential sequels. There’s ample source material for a third season.
What Will Happen In How Not To Summon A Demon Lord Season 3?
Takuma Sakamoto, a gamer who suffers from severe social anxiety and avoids social interaction, is the main character of the story.
In the game “Cross Reverie”, Takuma’s character Diablo-13, the Demon Lord, excels. One day, he’s inexplicably transported into his favorite game, embodying Diablo 13.
Due to a magical mishap, Rem and Shera, two other game characters, summon him and make them his servants. Takuma plays out his character, assisting Rem and Shera in various episodes.
We can expect the third season to continue their ecchi-filled adventures in the magical world.
Which Studio Will Animate The Third Season?
Season one of the show was the work of Aija-do Studio. However, the second season was handed off to Tezuka Productions and Okuruto Noboru Studios. Now the question is: which studio will handle the next season?
Honestly, we don’t have the exact answer at this point. If the same studio continues the adaptation, we can expect Okuruto Noboru to handle the third season. This is because they’re a new studio that could definitely use some more popularity. Working on season 3 is sure to make them more visible in the Japanese animation industry.
