Will there be an Alice in Borderland Season 3 on Netflix?
NetflixThe second season of Japanese thriller and manga adaptation Alice in Borderland has been a hit, but will there be a third season?
Alice in Borderland, based on the manga of the same name by Haro As, first arrived on the streaming platform in 2020. Violent, suspenseful, and compelling, it went down a treat with both critics and fans of the source material.
In its first few weeks of release, the show ranked in the top ten most-watched shows on the platform in nearly 40 territories, and Netflix quickly greenlit a second season.
Since its release, Alice in Borderland has remained in the top 10 chart on Netflix – so, will there be a Season 3?
Is there going to be an Alice in Borderland Season 3?
As of September 2023, Alice in Borderland Season 3 has been renewed by Netflix.
No details for the new season have been released yet, so the games ahead are still all to play for.
While Season 2 concluded with the end of the original manga, with Arisu defeating the Queen of Hearts and the reveal of what actually happened to the players stuck in the Borderlands, there was a major tease for the future: an abandoned Joker card.
In the manga, the Joker appears briefly before Arisu wakes up in hospital, but this scene hasn’t appeared in the series… yet. Some fans believe the show’s writers have held onto the Joker to make them the villain of Season 3, taking it beyond the source material.
In an interview with GamerBraves, star Kento Yamazaki didn’t detail any hopes for Season 3, but he said the stakes in the second season were “really a matter of life and death for the players.”
“It might be a little frightful for some viewers, but the stakes do have to be high in these games,” he added.
“That makes them much more interesting, so I think you can enjoy it from that vantage point as well. As an entertainment piece, you can enjoy it in that way, but you can also imagine ‘What would I do if I was in the Borderlands myself?’ It really churns the imagination, I think.”
“Through my experience in this show, I feel and learned that the heart is very important. How you perceive and capture life, it’s all about the heart.”
