Overlord Season 5: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
Man, Overlord fans are practically vibrating with excitement after Season 4's epic finale back in 2022. Ainz Ooal Gown, the bone-chilling overlord of Nazarick, has everyone hooked with his wild mix of cunning and raw power. With the Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom movie now out, the hype for Season 5 is through the roof. So, what's the deal with the release date, cast, and plot? Let's dive into all the juicy details known so far, with some spicy speculation thrown in for good measure. Overlord Season 5 Potential Release Date
Trying to guess the release date for Overlord Season 5 is like predicting Ainz's next master plan—tricky, but not impossible. Studio Madhouse hasn't spilled the beans on a specific date, but past seasons give some hints. Usually, it takes about 18 months to two years from announcement to air date. With the light novel's final volumes (17 and 18) out by mid-2025, the story's ready to roll.
Best guess? Early to mid-2026 feels right. Some fans on Reddit are crossing their fingers for a late 2025 miracle, but that's probably wishful thinking. If production hits any snags, 2027 could sneak up, but the hype from the movie might push Madhouse to move faster. Keep tabs on Crunchyroll or AnimeNextSeason's X posts for any sudden updates. Fingers crossed for a trailer soon! Overlord Season 5 Expected Cast
The Overlord voice cast is straight-up iconic, bringing Nazarick's crew to life with so much flavor. No official word on Season 5's cast yet, but come on—there's no way the main squad isn't coming back. Expect these heavy hitters to return: Satoshi Hino (Japanese) / Chris Guerrero (English) as Ainz, the skeletal GOAT who's always ten steps ahead.
Yumi Hara (Japanese) / Elizabeth Maxwell (English) as Albedo, the queen of loyalty (and thirst for Ainz).
Sumire Uesaka (Japanese) / Felecia Angelle (English) as Shalltear, the vampire who's equal parts fierce and chaotic.
Emiri Katō (Japanese) / Jill Harris (English) as Aura, the elf ranger with endless energy.
Yumi Uchiyama (Japanese) / Megan Shipman (English) as Mare, Aura's shy twin who's secretly a powerhouse.
Masayuki Katō (Japanese) / Bill Jenkins (English) as Demiurge, the demon who's way too smart for everyone's good.
New characters might pop up, especially with volumes 15 and 16 introducing folks from the Elf Country and maybe the Slane Theocracy. Fans are dying to hear more of Renner, voiced by Kiyono Yasuno (Japanese) / Jessica Peterson (English), after her creepy Demon Form moment in Season 4. Bet on some casting surprises when Madhouse drops the official list. Overlord Season 5 Potential Plot
Okay, plot talk—here's where things get juicy. Overlord Season 5 will likely pick up after the Sacred Kingdom movie, diving into volumes 15 and 16 of the light novels. With only volumes 15–18 left (and the novels wrapping at 18), Season 5 could either tie things up or set up a final showdown. Without spoiling too much for anime-only folks, here's the vibe: Elf Country Chaos : Ainz heads to the Elf Country, where politics and war are brewing. The Slane Theocracy, those shady divine types, might finally step up as a real threat. Picture Ainz unleashing his Grasp Heart spell while smirking in his skull face.
Sorcerer Kingdom's Glow-Up : Ainz keeps building his empire, maybe clashing with new factions or striking shady deals. The Dwarven Kingdom could get some screen time, showing off Ainz's diplomatic (and destructive) side.
Guardians Stealing the Show: Albedo's scheming, Demiurge's brainy plans, and Shalltear's bloodlust are bound to deliver epic moments. The Floor Guardians always bring the heat.
Season 4's 'The End Begins' tagline felt ominous, and with the novels ending soon, Season 5 might cover volumes 15 and 16, saving the last two for a Season 6 or a big movie finale. Either way, expect Ainz outsmarting everyone, some dark laughs, and battles that'll leave jaws on the floor.

Teen Writes to Ozzy Osbourne for Class Project—2 Years Later Mail Arrives
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In a middle school computer class in Millis, Massachusetts, a then-teenaged Chad Hill was given a simple assignment: write a letter to a company, athlete, or celebrity using the school's computer lab. While most of his classmates aimed for free candy or Nike swag, Hill chose something different. He wrote to his hero—Ozzy Osbourne. "I told him how much I loved his music and how Randy Rhoads inspired me to play guitar," Hill, now 46, told Newsweek. "And I asked for an autograph." While his classmates received responses to their letters, Hill didn't. That was until two years later when an unexpected package arrived on his doorstep. Inside was a typed letter thanking him for being a fan and an autographed 8x10 photo of Ozzy himself. "I was absolutely shocked," Hill said. "The fact that it took so long told me that he truly loved his fans... It meant the absolute world to me." A picture of the Ozzy Osbourne signed picture that the teen fan received in the '90s and still treasures today. A picture of the Ozzy Osbourne signed picture that the teen fan received in the '90s and still treasures today. Haunting-Working5463/Reddit The moment stuck with him, and the picture has remained framed and proudly displayed in every place he's lived over the last 30 years. "It's the only piece of 'art' that has always been on my wall. Usually it's hung near my guitars. It reminds me that music has real power, and that acts of kindness do too," Hill said. "To go through what must have been thousands upon thousands of letters and actually read them... I mean that costs money, takes time and effort. That told me a lot." The rock world has been mourning the Black Sabbath legend, who died on July 22 at the age of 76, just weeks after reuniting with his bandmates for a farewell concert in his hometown and receiving the Freedom of the City of Birmingham on June 28. Hill recently posted his story to Reddit after seeing negative comments about the Prince of Darkness following his death. "I wanted to share something positive about him," Hill said. "Also, I wanted to thank Ozzy... He changed my life... he added a sense of magic, wonder and excitement to my childhood." The post resonated deeply with fellow fans, many of whom shared their admiration for the rock icon. One commenter wrote: "This is beyond cool," while another Redditor said: "That's so special, wow." "It was emotional to read the responses," Hill said. "He was so much more to people than just a catchy song. It was as if he was our friend, but also beyond any 'ordinary man.'"

Heartbroken San Francisco woman posts missing flyer for pink Labubu: ‘I regret getting too lit'
A San Francisco woman posted a missing flyer for her pink Labubu, after losing it on a drunken night out on the town. The poster is complete with pictures of the mischievous doll exploring the city and munching popcorn chicken with her. 'Lychee Berry' was part of Labubu's wildly popular 'Exciting Macaron' series. Reddit 'I took her out for a night of drinking and now I regret getting too lit,' the Labubu owner confessed on Reddit. She offered up a $50 reward for the return of the ugly-cute creature, and urged anyone with leads to call her. 'I know it's a long shot but this is part of my grieving process,' said the doll's owner, who joked in the thread that Labubus were 'for the delulu.' Most commenters were supportive, though some poked fun at the owner's misfortune. 'I know it's hard but just buy another one,' urged a fellow commenter on Reddit. 'It's probably in Oakland by now being sold for parts,' quipped another. The craze has some of the viral dolls being resold for more than 100 times their original purchase price. But this drunken tale has a happy ending – a fellow Labubu fan gifted the woman her own 'Lychee Berry' Labubu, identical to the one lost that night – or almost. 'While OG Lychee is irreplaceable, I will hold on to Lychee Berry II tightly and take her on new adventures,' the owner said. 'I am so grateful.'
