Will ‘Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?’ Return for Season 5?
In this article, we discuss the future of the popular HiDive anime series, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? And whether it will be renewed for a fifth season or canceled.
A Beloved Fantasy Anime
With each new installment, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon cements its reputation as one of the most popular fantasy anime series? This unique blend of mythology, action, and RPG-like elements follows the adventures of Bell Cranel (voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka), the sole member of the Hestia Familia. Blessed by Hestia, he ventures into the Dungeon—an underground labyrinth teeming with monsters and dangers—to hone his skills and grow stronger.
Now boasting four seasons, the series stands out for its engaging characters, thrilling battles, and captivating storytelling. Season four has garnered an impressive 8.13 score on My Anime List, the highest rating for an installment in the series. With its continued growth and popularity, fans are eager for more.
Is Season 5 on the Horizon?
Despite the success of season four, a fifth season of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon has not been officially announced by the studio or any other source. However, this doesn’t mean the series won’t return for another season, as new anime seasons can be announced at any time—from the premiere of the final episode to several months later.
Given the popularity of this particular season, it seems unlikely that the series won’t be renewed for a fifth season. If it is, the earliest possible premiere would likely be in 2024, assuming production is already underway.
Source Material Considerations
One potential issue with anime adaptations is catching up to the source material. While some shows have continued with original story arcs not found in the manga or novels with varying degrees of success, sticking with established storylines is generally a more intelligent move. Fortunately, at least four volumes’ worth of material left to cover after this season, which should be sufficient for another season.
However, with no additional source material beyond that, the production team could wait for more novels to release to ensure storylines for future seasons. If that’s the case, fans will be hoping for a season five announcement sooner rather than later.
Has the Series Been Canceled?
There has been no indication or confirmation that Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon has been canceled. We fully expect an announcement for a fifth season shortly.
