In case you weren't aware, they have been releasing new visuals monthly for this show. This is January's visual themed around New Year celebrations. You can see previous months' visuals here.

Premiere was announced to be April 2024. Synopsis from AniList:

Lawrence is a traveling merchant selling various goods from a horse-drawn cart. One day, he arrives at a village and meets a beautiful girl with the ears and tail of an animal! Her name is Holo the Wisewolf and she brings bountiful harvests. She wishes to return to her homeland, and Lawrence offers to take her. Now, the once-lonely merchant and the once-lonely wisewolf begin their journey north.

Wait, they're actually making spice and wolf season 3? It's not just a meme anymore?

[–] wjs018@ani.social 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This isn't a season 3, but a remake. It is a new adaptation of the source material. However, the main pair of voice actors are reprising their roles, so it should feel pretty similar with some art differences, plus any editorial changes they decide to make with the new adaptation.

Oh nice, hadn't heard they got the same VAs. I hope the soundtrack is as good as the original

Is it out now if it's a remake or a continuation?

[–] wjs018@ani.social 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This remake is going to be a new adaptation of the novels coming out in April 2024.

Ah, cool.

Hoped it continues the story, the anime from 2003 still kicks.

Well, bow i hope it gets more than one season.

I'm glad they are making a new anime. A remake will bring in more new viewers and give them a chance to not change as much from the source.
