Alice in Borderland Season 3 Set to Premiere in 2025 on Netflix
TOKYO, Japan – Fans of the hit Japanese sci-fi thriller ‘Alice in Borderland‘ can mark their calendars for 2025, as Netflix has officially announced the release of Season 3. The series, based on Haro Aso‘s popular manga, has captivated audiences worldwide with its intense survival games and dystopian Tokyo setting.
The show follows Ryohei Arisu, played by Kento Yamazaki, a gamer who finds himself in an alternate version of Tokyo known as the Borderland. Alongside his friends, Arisu must navigate a series of deadly challenges to survive. The first two seasons, released in 2020 and 2022, respectively, have been praised for their gripping storytelling and high-stakes drama.
Season 2 concluded with Arisu and his love interest, Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya), defeating the Queen of Hearts, Mira, in a game of croquet. However, the appearance of a Joker card in the final moments left fans speculating about the future of the series. The Joker card, which in the manga is linked to transporting characters between worlds, has been reimagined in the Netflix adaptation, hinting at new twists and a potential antagonist for Season 3.
While the cast for the upcoming season has not been fully confirmed, Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya are expected to reprise their roles as Arisu and Usagi. Other returning characters may include Nijirô Murakami as Chishiya, Yuri Tsunematsu as Heiya, and Aya Asahina as Kuina. New faces are also anticipated to join the ensemble as the story delves deeper into the mysteries of the Borderland.
Netflix has yet to release a trailer for Season 3, but fans can revisit the first two seasons on the streaming platform to prepare for the new chapter. The series has been a global success, ranking in the Top 10 in 40 countries and territories during its debut year.
As anticipation builds, ‘Alice in Borderland’ continues to be a standout in the survival thriller genre, offering a unique blend of suspense, action, and psychological intrigue. With Season 3 on the horizon, the stakes are higher than ever for Arisu and his companions.
