Cast and Characters of Overlord Season 5

As with each season of “Overlord,” fans can anticipate a deeper dive into the intricate world-building, complex characters, and evolving storylines. Ainz Ooal Gown’s journey of power and control is sure to continue, and the series will likely add new characters

Satoshi Hino as Ainz Ooal Gown, Yumi Hara as Albedo, Sumire Uesaka as Shalltear Bloodfallen, and Masayuki Katô as Demiurge are among the returning cast members. The preceding seasons, with a total of 45 episodes, were largely directed by Naoyuki Itô, with Studio Madhouse working on production and Crunchyroll currently having the worldwide distribution rights to Overlord.

In terms of the original source material, the light novel series is far from finished and is still ongoing. It is currently in its 16th volume, of which only 13 have been turned into anime.

What Will Happen in Overlord Season 5?

Season 4 concluded with adaptations of chapters 10, 11, and 14, with the 2021 film Overlord: The Holy Kingdom covering volumes 12 and 13. The previous season concluded with The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc, and a fifth season is set to feature The Half-Elf God-kin Arc.

There is still plenty of tales to tell if the creators stay true to the source. In the most recent development, the original series’ author, Kagune Murayama, has formally stated that the series will conclude after two more volumes. Volume 18 will thus bring the epic to a close.

The plot is set in 2126 and chronicles the dying hours of Yggdrasil, a virtual reality game. After a 12-year run, the game is likely to be discontinued. Ainz Ooal Gown, a guild within the universe of this game, used to have 41 members, but it is now down to four, with only an Overlord character named Momonga remaining to serve as guild head.

Momonga intended to stay hooked until the game servers were permanently shut down, but to his amazement, the game continued to operate even after the closure period had passed.
