Premieres April 2024. You can see the new PV here. Synopsis from AniList:

The qualities valued most in the study of magic are bloodline, aptitude, and effort. There was one sorcerer who, despite his deep love for magic, was born a commoner and thus lacked the bloodline and aptitude for it. As he died an unnatural death, he wished he had studied magic more while he had the chance. Then, he was reincarnated as Lloyd, the seventh prince of the Kingdom of Saloum and one blessed with a strong magical bloodline. Reborn with all his memories intact, along with the perfect bloodline and immense talent, he was determined to enjoy his new life, using his extraordinary magical abilities to master the study of magic that was beyond his reach in his previous life!

Do the waifus featured on the post play a big role in the story, or are they bait to sell the anime?

They are recurring characters in that they show up in the story a lot, do their thing fighting, etc. However, the basic structure of this story is that some disaster is looming and threatening everybody...then Lloyd comes in and metaphorically One Punches away the problem using some god-tier magic that nobody thought possible. Like I said, the story is not really a strength of this series, including side characters, but I have seen worse side characters. Many of them do have their own motivations (even if it is just to stay relevant in a world in which Lloyd exists).

Also, I should add that viewers should expect a lot of fan service in this series. Including of the MC. Yes, the MC is a prince, but that doesn't stop him from being lewded.

It's always nice to see all the characters fairly treated.
