Calling all cultivators and fans of light-hearted comedy! The dust has barely settled after the explosive (well, not literally for Wang Ling) Season 4 finale of The Daily Life of the Immortal King, and whispers of a potential Season 5 are already swirling in the winds of the spirit realm. Buckle up, fellow disciples, because we’re diving into the world of Wang Ling and his hilariously overpowered existence!
The Daily Life of the Immortal King Season 5: Coming Soon? + Review & Watch Guide
Will There Be a Season 5 of The Daily Life of the Immortal King?
The short answer? Yes, it’s been officially announced during the Anime Expo 2024 in Los Angeles, the announcement was made along with the new chapter of Link Click called the Bridon Arc. The Daily Life of the Immortal King has enjoyed a consistent release schedule, with each season airing a year apart since its debut in 2020. However, there hasn’t been any official announcement from the studios (Haoliners Animation for Season 1, Studio LAN for Season 2, and Liyu Culture for Season 3 and 4) regarding Season 5.
But fear not, fellow cultivators! The source material, a light novel series by Ku Xuan, boasts a whopping 2237 chapters as of October 2023 (talk about a treasure trove of potential storylines!). This, coupled with the series’ immense popularity in China and beyond, suggests a strong possibility for Season 5. Here’s hoping the studios see the merit in continuing Wang Ling’s delightfully chaotic journey!
A Look Back at Season 4: Familiar Fun with a Hint of Repetition?
Season 4 offered familiar territory for fans of The Daily Life of the Immortal King. Wang Ling, the perpetually sleepy high school student with world-ending power, remained true to his overpowered (yet low-key) nature. Sun Rong, his ever-reliable (and slightly exasperated) classmate, continued to be his rock. The supporting cast, including the ever-enthusiastic Sun Chao and the ever-reliable duo of Lu Hao and Little Fox Girl, provided their own brand of comedic relief and character development (Chao and Hao seem to be stepping up their game!).
Reviews for Season 4 were, as expected, a mixed bag. One reviewer praised the show’s ability to deliver consistent, light-hearted entertainment with its episodic format. They found it to be a perfect watch for relaxation, with the familiar formula offering a sense of comfort. Another reviewer, however, felt that Season 4 lacked the novelty of previous seasons. While they still enjoyed the humor and characters, they missed the element of surprise that came with a fresher approach.
