Following the gripping finale of season 2, viewers are eagerly anticipating the next chapter of Arisu and Usagi’s journey in the enigmatic world of Borderland. While details about season 3 are still scarce, the confirmation of its return has sparked speculation and anticipation for what lies ahead.
Season 3 Renewal
The announcement of “Alice in Borderland” season 3 came in September 2023, nine months after the release of season 2 on Netflix. Netflix confirmed the renewal, with Minyoung Kim, Netflix VP of APAC Content, breaking the news during her APOS talk on “The Future of Japanese Entertainment.” The renewal was met with enthusiasm from fans, eager to delve deeper into the mysteries of Borderland.
Returning Cast and Crew
Two key cast members have been confirmed to reprise their roles in season 3: Kento Yamazaki as Arisu and Tao Tsuchiya as Usagi. Their return ensures continuity and familiarity for viewers, as they step back into the shoes of their beloved characters. Additionally, director Shinsuke Sato will be helming the third season, bringing his creative vision to the continuation of the series.
Story Possibilities
The conclusion of season 2 closely followed the original manga, with Arisu and his companions waking up in the real world after their harrowing adventures in Borderland. However, with the source material exhausted, season 3 will need to chart its own course.
