Instead of Studio Deen, the third season will be produced by Drive Studio and it will be directed by Yujiro Abe. Takaomi Kanasake who directed the first two seasons and the Legend of Crimson movie, will be acting as Chief Director and he will also be overseeing the scripts for this season. Character design is being done by Koichi Kikuta with Masato Koda being in charge of music composition of the series.

What to expect from KonoSuba season 3, episode 1

The premise of KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! revolves around a guy named Kazume Sato, who woke up after an accident to find a beautiful girl standing beside him. When the girl asks whether he would like to travel to a faraway fantasy land and bring only one thing with him, Kazume decides to bring the Goddess, whose name is Aqua, with him. The beautiful fantasy world they end up in is ruled by a Demon King and Kazuma wants to just live there in peace. But since Aqua wants to solve the many problems plaguing the land, they quickly get noticed by the Demon King.

The third season of the anime will bring back Kazuma and his whole party, but something will be amiss. Kazuma is completely over everything and does not want to be a part of the adventure and live his life as a monk. But Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness have other plans. And when the party gets called upon by a Princess named Iris who wants to meet them, they have to put their plans on hold. 

The first episode is expected to be as hilarious as the previous seasons and bring all the quirky characters back. It will also introduce Iris, the first Princess of Belzerg and we might find out what she wants from Kazum and the rest of his party.
