The wait for Apothecary Diaries anime Season 3, based on the light novel series by Natsu Hyūga, is officially over. When it was announced that The Apothecary Diaries would have its own panel at this year's Anime Expo, fans knew that something special was brewing.With Season 2 having just wrapped its run, it's now official that The Apothecary Diaries anime season 3 is coming soon. Fans of The Apothecary Diaries can breathe a sigh of relief, because season 3 is officially in production.The announcement of The Apothecary Diaries anime Season 3 came right after the season 2 finale aired in Japan, accompanied by a short teaser video confirming the beloved anime's continuation. But while excitement is high, the announcement leaves one key detail frustratingly out of reach. A teaser was unveiled to confirm the production of the new episodes, and it hints at a major change of scenery for the series.The renewal of The Apothecary Diaries came as no surprise, given its status as one of the year's most beloved anime series. Its popularity surged even further recently when Season 1 premiered on Netflix, where it quickly broke into the platform's top 10 most-watched list—racking up over a million views within its first week.During the season 2, director Norihiko Naganuma marked the finale by thanking fans and collaborators alike, stating the final episode was titled 'The Beginning.' This strongly hints that the next arc could represent a major turning point in Maomao's journey, possibly outside the palace walls again.According to a report in Screen Rant, despite the sequel's confirmation, no release date or production timeline has been announced. With the same studio and director returning, production continuity looks strong, but viewers may be waiting months, or longer, for more concrete updates. The wait is sure to feel long for fans riding high from the The Apothecary Diaries season 2 finale.Still, the lack of a date is not entirely surprising. The production team has consistently emphasized quality over speed, with careful adaptation work that honors the novels. Given the show's rich detail and tight plotting, a slower rollout could mean a better payoff.Until more updates arrive, fans can dive back into the brilliant episodes that showcased the rich storytelling and deep character work that made The Apothecary Diaries truly unforgettable. With a brand-new arc approaching and Maomao stepping into unknown territory, Season 3 is shaping up to be full of twists and surprises.

Kapil Sharma calls Archana Puran Singh ‘Anaconda', accuses her of locking Navjot Singh Sidhu; her reply wins hearts
The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 premiered two weeks ago, marking the return of Navjot Singh Sidhu, who now shares screen space with Archana Archana Puran Singh on the Netflix comedy show. Last week, Sidhu's absence from the episode sparked speculation that he had only made a one-time guest appearance. However, he returned in the third episode, putting the rumours to rest. When Kapil Sharma playfully asked him about his absence, Sidhu joked that someone had locked him inside his vanity van. Responding to Sidhu, Kapil joked, 'Sometimes there is a snake in our midst, aapki toh aasteen bhi itni badi hai ki poora anconda bhi ho sakta hai.' He then turned to Archana Puran Singh and teasingly called her the 'anaconda,' asking Sidhu, 'Should I tell you who locked you in?' While Archana tried to steer away from the conversation, Kapil kept the banter going. Eventually, defending herself, Archana called Sidhu, Sid, and said, 'Sid, you think I'd do something like that to you? Never, you're my sweetheart.' Also Read: Kapil Sharma blames Archana Puran Singh for Navjot Singh Sidhu's absence from The Great Indian Kapil Show: 'Banda hadap gayi…' In response to Archana's affectionate words, Sidhu said, 'No worries, now you can ask for my life, and it's yours.' Jumping in, Kapil added with a laugh, 'Don't say that, she might actually take it!' Later, when Kapil welcomed Gautam Gambhir to the stage, the cricketer joined the fun, joking that Navjot Singh Sidhu seemed to be trying hard to impress Archana Puran Singh. Kapil Sharma then says, 'Nowadays, Sidhu paaji asks me if Archana has arrived, then he asks for gel to style his beard. Later, he says, I have spent my whole life with Aakash Chopra and Shekhar Suman, mazaa toh ayaa hai.'

Netflix's The Summer Hikaru Died exceeds manga fans' expectations; queer horror praised for its 'creepy' cinematography
The Summer Hikaru Died, based on Mokumokuren's hit horror manga, is finally here. Directed by Ryōhei Takeshita, the anime made its debut on Netflix on July 5, 2025, and with just one episode out, it's already got fans hooked and eager for what comes next. The story follows two teenage boys living in a quiet rural village until one of them disappears and returns… different. It's not a show that throws big twists right away. Instead, it takes its time, letting the silence, strange looks, and offbeat pacing speak for themselves. What is The Summer Hikaru Died about? The Summer Hikaru Died centres on Yoshiki and Hikaru, two close teenage friends who've grown up side by side. Their peaceful life is disrupted when Hikaru goes missing during a hike in the mountains and inexplicably returns some time later. At first glance, Hikaru seems unchanged. He looks the same, talks the same, and remembers everything. But something is undeniably different. Yoshiki begins to sense that the friend who returned is not the one he lost. Instead, it's an unknown entity wearing Hikaru's body, something otherworldly and unsettling. As this new presence integrates into daily life, strange occurrences begin to affect the village. And through it all, Yoshiki is left to navigate the heartbreak of losing his best friend while being unable to let go of the familiar face still standing beside him. The Summer Hikaru Died Episode 1 reactions: Fans laud the eerie, emotional debut Viewers are all praise for the anime, lauding its ability to balance dread with emotional storytelling. Instead of relying on jump scares or gore, the first episode focuses on silence, stillness, and the subtle cracks in everyday life that suggest something isn't right. On the subreddit r/anime, fans dissected the first episode, and while it's rare that an anime adaptation lives up to the manga, Netflix seems to have aced it this time. One fan wrote, 'I've been waiting for a horror anime that captures the feeling of summer unease the way Higurashi did—cicadas buzzing, long shadows, small-town mysteries only adults seem to understand. The montage of forgotten corners—rusted cars, old fences, empty fields—was so effective. You can feel that something is wrong even if nothing has happened yet. It's already disturbing, and I'm really intrigued.' Another viewer focused on the emotional stakes behind the horror: 'The first episode creates a strong feeling that something's deeply off. The awkward silences, the pacing, and the tension between characters are all working together. Yoshiki clearly had feelings for the real Hikaru, and now he's stuck interacting with someone—or something—that looks like him but isn't. He knows the truth, but he doesn't want to accept it. That inner conflict feels raw. He'd rather live with a lie than face the finality of death.' One long-time manga fan praised the adaptation's fidelity to the original tone: 'I've followed the manga since its early chapters, and I think this anime really captured its atmosphere. The directing choices were thoughtful, the voice acting was spot-on, and there's already a heaviness to the story that mirrors the manga's emotional core. This is one of the shows I'm most looking forward to this season.' Another viewer picked up on a curious timeline detail: 'The vibes are already unsettling, and I love how many questions the first episode sets up. What really surprised me was the timeline—Hikaru went missing in January, but the story picks up again in summer. That delay is chilling. It makes me think the Hikaru we're watching now isn't just different—he's been different for a while. It raises the stakes. I'm excited to see how it all unfolds.' Rather than using flashy visuals or fast pacing, The Summer Hikaru Died draws its strength from emotional complexity. It's a story about friendship and grief wrapped in the skin of horror, and it wastes no time establishing the emotional and psychological stakes. New episodes of the anime will drop weekly on Netflix, slowly peeling back the layers of mystery and dread as Yoshiki continues to face the truth behind what or who came back from that mountain.
