Hataraku Maou-sama! could have more than one new season

A leak on Weibo claimed that there is more than one new season planned for the anime adaptation of the novels written by Satoshi Wagahara and illustrated by 029 , Hataraku Maou-sama! ( The Devil is a Part-Timer! ), assuring that “it is a terrifying project ”. While there is no official confirmation on the matter, the latest could refer to the fact that the entirety of the light novels, infamous for their unsatisfying ending, may be planned to be adapted.

On the other hand, the second season of this adaptation has been broadcast since July 14 in Japan, while the Crunchyroll platform is responsible for distribution in the West. Wagahara and 029 published the original light novels through Kadokawa Publishing's Dengeki Bunko imprint between February 2011 and August 2020, totaling twenty-one volumes. Ultimately, the play inspired a thirteen-episode anime adaptation produced by WHITE FOX studios under the direction of Naoto Hosoda , and released in April 2013.

Synopsis for Hataraku Maou-sama!

The Demon Lord Satan seeks to conquer the world of Ente Isla by annexing its four continents with the help of his generals Alciel, Lucifer, Malacoda, and Adramelech. After being confronted by the heroine Emilia and her companions, and seeing their generals Malacoda and Adramelech dead, Satan and Alciel escape the world through a portal to the city of Tokyo, Japan. However, due to the absence of magic in the new world, both Satan and Alciel change their forms to humans. To survive, Satan takes a part-time job at the "MgRonald" fast food restaurant, while Alciel takes care of the housework. One day, Satan (who now goes by the name of Sadao Maou) meets Emi Yusa, who turns out to be the heroine Emilia.
