Alice In Borderland Season 3 Sets Release Window at Netflix

After a long two-year wait, fans of Alice In Borderland can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Netflix has officially confirmed that Season 3 of the hit Japanese sci-fi thriller is coming — and it’s slated to release in 2025.

The announcement came through Netflix’s social media platforms this week, creating a buzz among viewers who have been eagerly waiting since the jaw-dropping Season 2 finale. The new season will once again follow a group of survivors mysteriously transported to a post-apocalyptic Tokyo, where they must play deadly games to stay alive. The rulers of this mysterious world? Lethal game masters who control everything.

Season 3 Renewal Took Time

It wasn’t a smooth journey to get Season 3 greenlit. Netflix waited nearly a full year after Season 2 aired to officially renew the show. Many fans had assumed the series was quietly canceled, making this update a welcome surprise.

While Season 2 wrapped up many parts of Arisu (played by Kento Yamazaki) and his friends’ stories, several unanswered questions and cliffhangers were left behind — opening the door for another thrilling chapter.

What to Expect in Alice In Borderland Season 3

One major twist in the upcoming season is that most characters no longer remember what happened in Borderland, according to how Season 2 ended. This leaves a lot of room for creative storytelling. Will the game return to them? Or will new characters be introduced entirely? There’s also speculation that Season 3 might explore the Joker card — hinting at a bigger game master yet to be revealed.

If the original manga by Haro Aso is anything to go by, fans can expect even more mind-bending challenges and shocking revelations.

Recap: How Did Season 2 End?

Season 2 concluded with Arisu and Usagi (played by Tao Tsuchiya) defeating the Queen of Hearts. Fireworks lit up the sky, symbolizing that the players had successfully cleared the game. However, the Queen claimed that everything was a simulation set 1,000 years in the future — but it remains unclear whether that’s true or another manipulation.

Interestingly, there were players shown who didn’t seem to have played any games at all — adding even more mystery to the story.

Series Background

Alice in Borderland is based on the popular Japanese manga by Haro Aso and has been directed by Shinsuke Sato, known for his work on Kingdom and other live-action adaptations. Sato is also working on the upcoming live-action My Hero Academia film, though updates on that project have been quiet.

When Will Alice In Borderland Season 3 Release?

Netflix has confirmed that Alice In Borderland Season 3 will arrive sometime in 2025, but an exact release date is still under wraps. As the premiere draws closer, more teasers and trailers are expected to be released.

Stay tuned for more updates on Alice In Borderland Season 3 — and don’t forget to rewatch Seasons 1 and 2 to refresh your memory before the deadly games begin again.
