‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ Season 4 Episode 22 Release Date, Time and Streaming Guide
Fans of ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ have another new chapter to look forward to as the isekai favorite continues its weekly run into the fall. The long-running series has become dependable appointment viewing on Fridays, and the next chapter is nearly here.
Episode 22 of ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ season 4 is set to premiere on Friday, September 11, 2026, keeping the show’s established weekly cadence intact. The episode follows directly after episode 21, which aired on Friday, September 4, 2026.
Release Date and Time for the New Episode
The season has largely stuck to its Friday release pattern, though it hasn’t been completely smooth sailing. Season 4 previously saw one of its episodes bumped from a scheduled July 31 release to a later August date because of broadcast changes in Japan, a reminder that dates can shift even mid season.
Still, the show has course corrected nicely, and fans have had a steady stream of new content for months now. Based on the pattern established for episode 21, new installments of ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ typically arrive in Japan around midnight local time, which translates to roughly midafternoon in the United Kingdom and morning hours across the United States.
New episodes of season 4 release on Fridays at 7 a.m. PT and 10 a.m. ET on Crunchyroll, arriving with English subtitles as well as an English dub. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is airing in Japan on Tokyo MX, MBS, BS11, TV Aichi, TVh, TVQ, GYT, GTV, TUF and AT-X.
Where to Watch ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ Season 4
For anyone wondering where to catch up before episode 22 drops, the options are more plentiful than in past seasons. Beyond Crunchyroll, the series has expanded its footprint, and ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ season 4 can currently be streamed on both Netflix and Crunchyroll.
That dual availability gives subscribers of either platform a legitimate way to stay current as new episodes land each week. For those who prefer to purchase rather than subscribe, digital retail options exist as well, with the season available to buy as a download through Amazon Video and the Apple TV Store, alongside the Crunchyroll Amazon Channel option.
New episodes arrive with both subtitles and an English dub, so international fans do not have to choose between accessibility and authenticity. This gives global audiences flexibility in how they choose to experience Rimuru’s ongoing story, whether through the original Japanese performances or the English cast.
Episode 22 Story Direction and What Comes Next
Given how episode 21 left things, episode 22 looks poised to keep pushing that time loop mystery forward while also giving more screen time to the political tension brewing between the Tempest Federation and its rivals. ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ has built its reputation on balancing worldbuilding with emotional character beats, and this stretch of season 4 has been no exception.
With the larger 60 episode run still in its early chapters, episode 22 feels like another important stepping stone rather than a finale moment, but that has not stopped the anticipation from building online. The series’ fanbase has stayed vocal through every twist, and Chloe’s timeline spanning journey has become one of the more debated threads of the season so far.
The broader narrative has continued to lean into the tension between Rimuru’s vision for coexistence and the forces working against it. The Rozzo family moves to assert control in the name of protecting humanity, putting them on a collision course with Rimuru’s ideals, while Demon Lord Leon continues to scheme from afar and the emergence of a new Hero threatens to tip the balance entirely.
Season 4 Scope and Production Scale
This fourth season is shaping up to be the biggest the franchise has attempted. The series has been officially confirmed to run for 60 episodes total, split across five cours, with the first two cours airing back to back.
The fourth season was announced on September 27, 2024, following the conclusion of the third season, and that same announcement also revealed a second movie tied to the franchise. The story picks up after the Founder’s Festival and the establishment of diplomatic relations with various nations, as the Jura-Tempest Federation begins moving toward what is described as the Human Monster Coexistence Sphere.
Transcending racial barriers, the Jura-Tempest Federation thrives through unity and cooperation, though in the shadows there are those who view the rise of Demon Lord Rimuru as a grave threat. At the center of this opposition are Granbell Rosso, a former Hero and head of the Five Elders of the Kingdom of Siltrosso, along with his granddaughter Mariabell Rosso.
What do you think Chloe will uncover next as her fractured timeline keeps unspooling, and how much longer can Rimuru hold his fragile coexistence together before the Rozzo family forces his hand.
