There is no official announcement regarding the release of Goblin Slayer Season 3 from the production house.
Goblin Slayer was an instantaneous hit among fans thanks to its captivating worldbuilding and dark, mature themes – but not without some problems like its use of CGI for character designs, particularly of Goblin Slayer himself.
Studio White Fox will step away from production this time around, with Misato Takada (Saiyuki Reload: Zeroin) taking on as director at Liden Films.
Cast
Goblin Slayer fans rejoice! The second season is finally upon them and it looks as though many of its main cast will return for another adventure. On Twitter, Misato Takada and Hideyuki Kurata have recently posted preview stills showing the protagonist with his friends heading off on another journey while teaser images featuring newcomer Wizard Boy taking care of our protagonist. Director Misato Takada returns while Hideyuki Kurata writes the script; opening theme by Mili and Yuki Nakajima performs the ending song called “Kasumi no Muko e.”
LIDEN FILMS will now produce season two of Goblin Slayer. LIDEN FILMS is best known for their work on popular shows such as Steins;Gate, Akame ga Kill! and Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World.
At GA FES 2023, Goblin Slayer season 2 was officially unveiled with the unveiling of a trailer and visuals at GA FES. This announcement confirms that all members from Season 1 will return for Season 2.
However, we may have to wait before the season airs as LIDEN FILMS is currently working on two other anime projects set for release during Summer Anime season: Tokyo Revengers and Insomniacs After School.
Plot
After its debut season was a hit, Goblin Slayer will return this October for another series. Based on Kumo Kagyu’s light novel series and illustrated by Noboru Kannatsuki, this anime made waves for its dark themes and violent depictions; further exploring goblin nature as well as human relationship dynamics.
The first season concluded with the Priestess and her party prevailing against a massive goblin army, yet goblin attacks continued against humans despite hero’s success. Season two is likely to introduce new adventures and quests for protagonists to undertake.
Since the original production team stepped away from this show, Liden Films (known for Berserk and Tokyo Revengers productions) will take over for this season’s run of Misato Takada in directing duties while Takaharu Ozaki will serve as chief director. Hideyuki Kurata will serve as series composer while Yuki Nakashima and Mili will provide voice work for main characters Yuki Nakashima and Mili respectively.
Yuuichirou Umehara will reprise his role as Goblin Slayer while Yasuharu Takayama reprises hers as Priestess, while Yuka Iguchi, Nao Touyama and Maaya Uchida will voice other main characters of the show.
Release Date
Goblin Slayer returns for its second season this October and an intense trailer has just hit the internet. The first season was widely-lauded despite its controversial initial episode that some viewers found too extreme; its gripping storytelling and heart-pounding battle scenes also received praise. There is no official announcement regarding the release of Goblin Slayer Season 3 from the production house.
Liden Films will now produce the series as it transitions away from White Fox development of its original version, with Misato Takada taking charge as director for both episodes and seasons while Hideyuki Kurata takes on series composition duties. Meanwhile, Hiromi Kato handles character designs while Kenichiro Suehiro composes both opening theme and ending theme songs for Kenichiro Suehiro to compose.

Goblin Slayer has quickly become one of the most beloved fantasy anime series in recent years, but has also drawn significant criticism due to its depiction of violence and gore. Regardless, Goblin Slayer remains popular with fans and recently received news that its second season had been announced along with confirmation from both staff and cast that they will all return for it.
