Alice In Borderland, one of Netflix’s most popular Japanese series, is gearing up for its much-anticipated return in Season 3, and fans are eagerly waiting for it to drop soon.
Throughout 2024, excitement for Alice In Borderland Season 3 has been steadily growing as fans keep their eyes peeled for any updates on the release date for the next set of episodes. The series follows a young man and his friends who find themselves trapped in a strange, alternate world. In this universe, they’re forced to participate in deadly games where only the strong and clever can survive. Despite the intense popularity and thrilling nature of the show, there’s only been 16 episodes spread out over two seasons in the past four years, leaving viewers craving more.
Alice In Borderland season 3 updates
In September 2023, Netflix officially announced the renewal of Alice In Borderland for Season 3, and filming for the new season kicked off around the same time.
The renewal was confirmed after fans noticed sneaky hints around Tokyo, Japan, where posters were spotted teasing that the third season had been given the green light.
According to Hypebeast, Alice In Borderland became the most-watched Netflix title in Japan when Season 2 premiered in 2022. Initially, Season 3’s filming schedule was planned to span from September 2023 to February 2024. Although production started on time, reports from Reddit suggest that filming was still ongoing in May 2024, which means fans might have to wait a little longer for the new season to arrive.
When will Alice In Borderland season 3 release?
In November 2024, it was officially confirmed that Alice In Borderland Season 3 will be released in 2025, according to What’s On Netflix. However, an exact release date hasn’t been revealed yet.
Fans can make some educated guesses about when Season 3 might premiere by looking at the production timelines of previous seasons. Season 2, for example, finished filming in March 2022 and arrived on Netflix about nine months later, on December 22, 2022. If the production of Season 3 wraps up in late 2024 (and assuming no major delays), we might expect it to arrive sometime in mid-2025.
But, if production is still ongoing and doesn’t finish until a few months later, it’s possible that Season 3 could follow a similar timeline to Season 2, meaning it might not hit Netflix until the end of 2025.
Another interesting point to consider is that both Seasons 1 and 2 premiered in December, so if the trend continues, fans might see Season 3 in December 2025.
In the meantime, both Seasons 1 and 2 of Alice In Borderland are currently available for streaming on Netflix.
