When is Alice in Borderland Season 3 releasing?
Netflix renewed the show for a third season in September 2023. Instead of making a simple announcement, they shared a video, showcasing a Joker card, a nod to the season 2 finale’s closing moments.
Before this announcement, hints about the Japanese series’ renewal had surfaced on social media. Even a poster displaying the Netflix logo alongside playing cards was spotted at Tokyo’s Shibuya Station,
A week before the September 2023 advertisement, Robot Communications, the show’s production company, issued a casting call for extras for season 3.
As per sources, filming for season 3 wrapped up in February 2024. This increases the chances of the show returning in late 2024. Fans speculate that Alice in Borderland season 3 will be released in November or December 2024, following the same pattern as the previous two seasons.
What can we expect in Alice in Borderland Season 3?
Since the first two seasons covered most of the manga, Alice in Borderland Season 3 could go in any direction.
In the season 2 finale, Arisu ended the games, giving the remaining players a chance to go back to reality. But the happy ending didn’t last long when a Joker card appeared in the hospital gardens.
In Alice in Borderland, the Joker symbolizes the Ferryman, who guides the group back to reality.
Some think that seeing the Joker card at the end of season 2 suggests the games aren’t over, and returning to the real world might not be as simple as it seems.
On the other hand, fans speculate that season 3 might follow the Alice in Borderland Retry manga which is set a few years after the original story.
