KonoSuba: God bless this wonderful world! finally got a new season in 2024. Season 3 aired from April to June 2024 with 11 episodes. The series changed studios for this season; It was animated by Studio Drive rather than Deen (which animated both seasons 1 and 2).
Some fans found the pacing boring and the tone didn't fit these new episodes. However, most people still seem to recommend it KonoSuba is one of the biggest isekai hits of the last decade (and some fans want to smell it too).

The funniest isekai that is NOT KonoSuba
While KonoSuba is often praised for its comedy, there was one title in recent history that truly embodied the term “Comedy Isekai.”
And The official account for the anime on X (formerly Twitter) teases that there's more to come. They posted a picture of a work and all we can read is the title of the series and “Sylvia: Akeno Watanabe.” Watanabe has voiced Sylvia since the character's debut (in Legend of Crimson movie), so it's something new that Sylvia will be involved in (e.g. a fourth season).
Fans are expecting a new season
Since the post hints that Sylvia will be featured in whatever comes, fans are anticipating the announcement of a new season. Season 3 adapted volumes 6-7 of the original light novel. Sylvia is a main antagonist introduced in Volume 5, so there are many possibilities for new projects involving her (it could also be a new film).
We will probably study in March
A new OVA was announced in December 2024, comprising two new episodes for the third season. These are probably just additional episodes that have no impact on the main plot and are scheduled for March 14, 2025 in Japan. As with previous OVAs, they may be released on Crunchyroll at a later date (or perhaps on the same day).
The thing is, when there is a new announcement, It will likely be made when the OVA premieres in Japan. So if a new season is in the works, we'll probably hear about it in March.
A two-episode OVA is scheduled to launch in Japan on March 14, 2025. No international release has been confirmed yet. The news touted by the official KonoSuba account has yet to be announced.
