The Daily Life of the Immortal King has become a beloved staple in the donghua world, blending high-stakes cultivation battles with hilarious high school antics. Following the overpowered yet reluctant hero Wang Ling as he juggles god-like powers and teenage drama, the series has kept fans hooked through four seasons. Since Season 4 concluded in February 2024, fans have been eagerly awaiting news on Season 5, with anticipation continuing to grow in 2025. Here’s everything you need to know about The Daily Life of the Immortal King Season 5.
Release Date Rumors: When Can We Expect Wang Ling’s Next Adventure?
As of September 2025, The Daily Life of the Immortal King Season 5 remains unconfirmed for an exact premiere, but the signs point to good news on the horizon. The series, produced by Bilibili and LiYu Culture, has a history of quick turnarounds—Season 4 aired just months after the previous one. Recent buzz from fan communities and official teasers suggests a potential drop in late 2025 or early 2026.
Cast Updates: Familiar Voices Return with Possible New Additions
One of the series’ charms is its stellar voice cast, which brings Wang Ling’s world to life with spot-on comedic timing and emotional depth. No major shake-ups have been announced for Season 5, but the core ensemble is expected to reprise their roles, ensuring continuity in this character-driven tale.
Here’s a quick rundown of the key players (focusing on the original Chinese cast, with English dub notes where available):
| Character | Chinese VA | English Dub VA (Crunchyroll) | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wang Ling | Sun Lulu | Alex Mai | The immortal king himself—stoic, noodle-obsessed teen with universe-shaking powers. |
| Sun Rong | Shuang Zhao | Erica Muse | Wang Ling’s love interest and fellow cultivator; expect more rom-com sparks. |
| Chen Chao | Gu Jiangshan | Matthan Harris | Wang Ling’s loyal, hot-headed best friend. |
| Guo Hao | Xian Jin | Not specified | The group’s comic relief and strategist. |
| Narrator | Yin Long | Not specified | The witty voiceover that ties the absurdity together. |
Supporting roles like Tun Tianha (Shuai Guan) and Lin Xiaoyu (Yan Meme) are also likely back. Rumors from fan discussions suggest a new voice for Wang Nuan, Wang Ling’s powerful baby sister introduced in later novel arcs—she could steal scenes with her chaotic energy. English dubs have been a hit on Crunchyroll, so anticipate a full season dub within months of the subbed release. No casting controversies here; the team has nailed the quirky tone season after season.
What to Expect Next: Plot Teases, New Threats, and Sibling Shenanigans
Season 5 promises to crank up the stakes while keeping the series’ signature blend of action, comedy, and slice-of-life vibes. Based on Kuxuan’s sprawling web novel (over 2,200 chapters and counting), the adaptation has plenty of material to draw from, picking up after Season 4’s demon invasions and family twists.
Key Plot Expectations:
- Wang Nuan’s Debut: The arrival of Wang Ling’s infant sister flips the family dynamic upside down. With powers rivaling her brother’s, she’ll force Wang Ling into “big bro” mode—think explosive tantrums meets world-ending spells. Trailers tease heartwarming (and hilarious) moments of him teaching her control, all while dodging apocalyptic mishaps.
- Escalating Cultivation Chaos: High school life gets weirder with inter-faction tournaments, shadowy exorcist plots, and cosmic threats. Expect cameos from past villains like the Kyuumiya yakuza family, plus new artifacts (hello, spiritual swords and luck charms) that amplify Wang Ling’s already OP abilities.
- Romance and Rivalries: Sun Rong’s arc deepens, with more awkward flirtations amid battles. Side characters like Chen Chao will shine in buddy-comedy subplots, balancing the epic fights with relatable teen drama.
- Themes and Tone: True to form, it’ll explore Wang Ling’s internal struggle—wanting normalcy in a world that demands heroism. Absurd gags (noodle-eating montages, anyone?) will lighten the high-fantasy action, making it binge-worthy for casual and hardcore fans alike.
From teaser visuals, animation quality looks sharper, with fluid fight scenes and vibrant cultivation effects. If Season 4’s pacing is any indication, anticipate 12-15 episodes packed with cliffhangers.
