Where to Watch Re:ZERO Season 4 — Part 2 Starts August 12
Short answer: Re:ZERO season 4 streams exclusively on Crunchyroll, and the half everyone is waiting for — Part 2, the Recapture Arc — starts Wednesday, August 12, 2026, with new episodes Wednesdays at 6:00 a.m. PT. Part 1 (the Lost Arc, 11 episodes) finished in June and is fully available to catch up on. Below: the schedule, the split-cour structure with sourced episode counts, and how Japan’s lineup differs.
August 12: the date, the time, the place
The Recapture Arc premieres Wednesday, August 12, 2026 — confirmed by Wikipedia’s season page and Japanese coverage from Denfaminicogamer alike. Internationally that means Crunchyroll, Wednesdays at 6:00 a.m. PT / 9:00 a.m. ET, with subtitles and the English dub continuing. Crunchyroll’s territory list covers the Americas, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, India and Southeast Asia (Final Weapon) — the standard maximal footprint, with Japan handled separately.
ComicBook reported Crunchyroll locking the season down as its streaming home before the April premiere, and nothing in the Part 2 coverage changes that.
| Where you are | Platform | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| International OFFICIAL | Crunchyroll (exclusive) | Wednesdays 6:00 a.m. PT; sub and English dub |
| Part 2 — Recapture Arc | From August 12, 2026 | 8 episodes |
| Japan — fastest streaming | ABEMA and dAnime Store | Ahead of TV; U-NEXT, DMM TV, Prime Video follow |
| Part 1 — Lost Arc | Complete, streaming now | 11 episodes, aired April 8 – June |
The split-cour structure, with real numbers
For once, the episode counts are officially settled, so we can print them: season 4 runs 19 episodes as a split cour — 11 in Part 1 (the Lost Arc, April 8 to June) and 8 in Part 2 (the Recapture Arc, from August 12). In the whole-series numbering the official previews use, Part 1 closed on episode 77.
That four-month gap is your catch-up window: all of Part 1 is on Crunchyroll now, and at 11 episodes it is a comfortable pre-premiere binge. If you are further behind, seasons 1–3 total 75 episodes — a bigger commitment, and the story is strictly continuous, so skipping is not realistic.
Japan’s lineup runs on different rails
Japan does not use Crunchyroll for this — domestic streaming is led by ABEMA and dAnime Store, which carry episodes ahead of the TV broadcast (a 地上波先行 arrangement), with U-NEXT, DMM TV and Prime Video following. That is the mirror image of the international setup, where one service has everything.
We track the per-country picture in our availability database, and this split — one exclusive abroad, many services at home — is the same shape we documented for Mushoku Tensei III.

Watching from abroad? Crunchyroll’s catalogue and Japan’s services are set per country, and a subscription from home may show nothing where you travel. How region locks work, and how existing subscribers handle travel, is in our anime streaming VPN guide. Each service sets its own terms; where a local official option exists, start there.
