Netflix has no end of impressive series, but still, when one tries to choose the best ones, Alice in Borderland automatically comes toward the top of the list. Released in 2020, this gripping Japanese sci-fi thriller has captivated audiences worldwide with its intense storyline and high-stakes survival games. This Netflix original series is based on Haro Aso's manga and follows the journey of Arisu and his companions in a suspenseful and dangerous world. After the success of the first two seasons, fans have long been waiting for Season 3 of the series, and finally, it is here.
After a significant wait of three years, Netflix has officially confirmed that Alice in Borderland Season 3 is set to premiere in September 2025. During its "Next on Netflix Japan" event, Netflix made this announcement, though no specific date for this premiere has yet been revealed. Therefore, this September 2025 window is already creating anticipation among gamers about the release date.
Aside from the release date, another notable part is that the season will be available on Netflix exclusively. The premiere will be shown globally. Anyone with a Netflix subscription will be able to join the premiere.
Netflix has decided to build the hype strategically. So, to build the excitement, Netflix has released a short teaser for the upcoming Season 3. This teaser features the mysterious Joker card, which was introduced at the end of Season 2. This hints at new challenges and adversaries awaiting the protagonists. Even the first-look images have been unveiled, showcasing Arisu and Usagi in intense scenarios, further amplifying fan speculation about the upcoming plot twists.
Anyway, the trailer didn’t unwrap more details about the exact plot; the introduction of the Joker card suggests a deeper exploration of the Borderlands mysteries. Audiences who have seen the original manga are aware that the Joker symbolizes a pivotal character who bridges the gap between life and death. Therefore, his appearance in the season will signify the same, hopefully. There’s not much detail about it, other than that.
The journey to Season 3 was started following the massive success of Season 2 on this immensely popular OTT platform, and Netflix officially renewed Alice in Borderland for the next season in September 2023. Now that this season is finally on the way, players would be happy to know that Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya are getting their roles back as Arisu and Usagi, respectively. In the first two seasons, their on-screen chemistry and compelling performances won the hearts of the users. Therefore, the makers aren’t ready to spoil the success of the show with a random crew.
While the season 3 announcement has sparked massive interest among the franchise fans about the show, the introduction of the Joker card has attracted all the limelight. Fans have started speculating about the role of the Joker and whether it is going to be the ultimate challenge that will blur the lines between reality and the Borderland. A group of fans believes that it symbolizes a reset or a deeper layer of the game, introducing more complex trials for the characters. Until the season comes, these are merely speculations.
As of now, there’s no more detail about season 3 of Alice in Borderland. As September 2025 approaches, the excitement about the season is getting higher, as the teaser has already revealed all the beloved characters making a return to this season, with an unrevealed twist of the Joker card.
