Alice in Borderland Season 3: Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 28, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated June 28, 2025, 12:24 IST Hey there, Alice in Borderland fans! The thrilling Japanese sci-fi series is gearing up for its third season, and we're just as excited as you are to dive back into the wild, dangerous world of Borderland. After the jaw-dropping ending of Season 2, complete with that mysterious Joker card, there's so much to look forward to. Here's a rundown of everything we know so far about Alice in Borderland Season 3. Alice in Borderland Season 2 Release Date Get ready to mark your calendars— Alice in Borderland Season 3 is set to hit Netflix in September 2025! While we don't have an exact date yet, Netflix confirmed the release window during their Next on Netflix 2025 Japan event, along with some tantalizing first-look images. Filming kicked off in September 2023 and wrapped sometime in early 2024, so the show's been in post-production to bring those epic game sequences to life. Given the nine-month gap between filming and release for Season 2, September 2025 feels right on track. Stay tuned for a precise date as we get closer Alice in Borderland Season 2 Cast Update The heart of Alice in Borderland is its characters, and we're thrilled to know some fan favorites are returning. Netflix has confirmed that Kento Yamazaki will reprise his role as Ryōhei Arisu, the clever, video game-obsessed hero, and Tao Tsuchiya is back as Yuzuha Usagi, the tough mountain climber who's Arisu's partner in survival (and maybe more). Their chemistry carried us through the first two seasons, and we can't wait to see how their story evolves. Other characters who survived Season 2 and might return include: Nijirō Murayama as Chishiya , the sly and strategic player. Aya Asahina as Kuina , the fierce fighter with a heart of gold. Ayaka Miyoshi as Ann , the cool-headed analyst. Dori Sakurada as Niragi , the unpredictable troublemaker who somehow keeps surviving. Shô Aoyagi as Aguni , the tough-as-nails leader with a tragic past. Yuri Tsunematsu as Heiya, the archery-skilled high schooler who became a fan favorite in Season 2. There's also buzz about Riisa Naka possibly returning as Mira, the Queen of Hearts, maybe as a ghostly figure like Hatter in Season 2, though nothing's confirmed. And with the Joker card looming, we might see new faces or even characters like Banda and Yaba from the Jack of Hearts game stepping up as villains. No full cast list yet, but we're keeping our fingers crossed for more updates Alice in Borderland Season 2 Potential Plot Season 2 ended with a massive twist: after Arisu and Usagi defeated the Queen of Hearts and woke up in a hospital, thinking they'd escaped Borderland, a gust of wind scattered a deck of cards, leaving only the Joker card behind. This has fans buzzing—does it mean they're still trapped in the game? Here's what we can piece together about Season 3's plot: An Original Story : The first two seasons adapted Haro Aso's manga, but Season 3 will dive into uncharted territory with an original storyline, since the main manga ended where Season 2 did. Manga creator Haro Aso is still involved, so expect the same mind-bending intensity. The Joker's Role : In the manga, the Joker is a 'ferryman' who guides players back to the real world, but the show's teaser hints at a more sinister role, possibly as a manipulative game master. This could mean new, psychologically twisted games that mess with reality itself, testing Arisu and Usagi's grip on what's real. Alice in Wonderland Vibes : The show loves its Alice in Wonderland references, and Season 3 might introduce characters like Tweedledum and Tweedledee , who haven't appeared yet. Expect more trippy, fairytale-inspired challenges. Reality or Illusion?: The Season 2 finale suggested the players were in a limbo state after a meteor strike, caught between life and death. Season 3 could explore whether they're truly back in the real world or stuck in a virtual reality—or even a new layer of the Borderland games. There's also talk of drawing inspiration from Aso's spin-off manga, like Alice in Borderland: Retry , where Arisu returns to Borderland as a married man, or Alice on Border Road , set in Kyoto. While these might not be adapted directly, they could spark ideas for new games or settings. Whatever happens, expect high-stakes action, emotional depth, and plenty of surprises.

This is the only celebrity who has a dish named after her at Nobu
She's so nice — this dish was named twice. Cindy Crawford is the one celebrity who has ever been honored with a menu item at the famed sushi hotspot Nobu. Chef Nobu Matsuhisa affectionately renamed kakiage — a Japanese tempura dish — 'Cindy Rice' after the supermodel, who was a regular at Matsuhisa, his first restaurant in Los Angeles, which opened in 1987. 'One day, at lunchtime she came and said, 'Make me anything,'' the celebrity chef told The Post ahead of the nationwide release of his documentary 'Nobu' on July 4. 'I used to do photoshoots in LA all the time, and I wanted Nobu always for lunch, but . . . if I didn't have a chance to eat right away . . . I wanted something that could maybe sit for one hour or two hours,' she explained in the film, which was directed by Matt Tyrnauer. 3 Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, who got his start as a dishwasher and delivery boy in Tokyo, now has an empire of 56 restaurants and 45 hotels around the world. Courtesy of Nobu Soon after the entree was crowned Cindy Rice, Crawford requested her namesake dish at the New York location of Nobu. The staff was baffled. 'The New York people didn't know . . . So the manager called me and asked, 'What's Cindy Rice?'' Matsuhisa, 76, recalled, laughing. The famed cook — who got his start as a teen-aged dishwasher and delivery boy in Tokyo — said his first A-list customer was Robert De Niro, even though he didn't know it then. The Oscar-winner was so impressed with the food, he approached Matsuhisa about opening a restaurant with him in New York. 'I did not know what he did. Never saw his movies,' Matsuhisa confessed. 3 Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber, pictured here leaving Nobu Mailbu, are featured in the documentary 'Nobu,' which will be released nationwide on July 4. / The actor is now a partner at Nobu — an empire of 56 restaurants and 45 hotels everywhere from Malibu and Maui to Budapest and the Bahamas. It was De Niro's idea to name the eatery Nobu. 'He said, 'Matsuhisa is too long. How about your first name, Nobu?'' Matsuhisa explained. 'He's a great idea man.' The first Nobu opened in Tribeca in 1994. That location closed in 2017, but there are still two in Manhattan — Nobu Downtown in FiDi and Nobu Fifty Seven in Midtown West. This year, the brand will be debuting its first hotel in Manhattan — in the Plaza Athenee hotel on the Upper East Side, which closed during the pandemic. 3 Matsuhisa called Robert De Niro, a partner at Nobu, 'a great idea man.' Dave Allocca/Starpix / Shutterstock Matsuhisa has since welcomed a who's who of celeb customers, including Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, David and Victoria Beckham, and Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who made their debut as a couple by kissing outside its New York location in 2002. (And when they got back together in 2021, their first public smooch was at Nobu Malibu.) With all his brushes with fame in his nearly 60-year career, Matsuhisa didn't hesitate to name his favorite customer — Princess Diana, whom he cooked for in Nobu's London Old Park Lane location in 1997, just months before her death. 'I was really nervous . . . She said to me, 'Chef Nobu, I read about your history.' I was so surprised and impressed. And then I cooked for her . . . tempura, black cod. She liked it,' he fondly remembered.

Groundbreaking Fashions Focus of Tokyo Exhibition
— A virtual fashion museum owned by one of Japan's most influential vintage stores is venturing into the physical realm with a new exhibit. The exhibition features groundbreaking looks from a variety of Japanese and international designers, spanning the 1970s through to the 2000s. More from WWD Tender Store Owner Cheryl Daskas Dies at 71 Kate Middleton's Trooping the Colour Outfits Through the Years: Seeing Pink in Alexander McQueen and More Looks Julien's Auctions to Offer Key Menswear Pieces From Celebrities, Designers The brainchild of buyer and curator Hideo Hashiura of the vintage store Laila, La Museum opened as a virtual fashion archive in July 2024. It staged a small, one-day exhibit at a forest villa in Nagano prefecture in May, thanks to a proposal by the well-known architect Kazuyo Sejima of SANAA, which designed the striking building. The museum's latest exhibit is its first to last multiple days and to tell a visual story of a particular period in fashion history. La Museum Shibuya opens Saturday for a two-week period in the basement of a nondescript office building just steps from one of Tokyo's most bustling neighborhoods. The building's demolition is scheduled to begin at the end of the month, and so Hashiura and his team were given free reign over the space. 'We have been running the virtual museum for almost a year and have done a couple of exhibits on the history of fashion design,' Hashiura said. 'But to really understand the detail and the design, the most important thing is to be able to see the clothes up close, as well as at eye level. If you're looking up at the clothes, you miss the full picture.' The Shibuya exhibit by La Museum is broken into five sections. Each has its own theme, but all of the mannequins are arranged at floor level, with visitors invited to move between and among them, providing a unique opportunity to see looks from all angles and just inches away. But still, Hashiura's dream is to bring people even closer to these archival looks. The exhibition catalogue. Courtesy photo. 'I would love to do an exhibit with 1,000 mannequins all lined up in long rows, and with 50 fitting rooms also in a row, and to invite people to actually try on the clothes. It's a fine line, because clothing is fragile and easily damaged by the oil on our fingers, perspiration and just general use, but also fashion is a product. It's not art — it's meant to be worn,' Hashiura said. La Museum's collection consists of about 7,000 pieces, all of which are by designers and brands that Hashiura and his team source for the Laila stores. The first Laila location opened in 2002, and it quickly became an arbiter of Japanese vintage culture for its rare, hard-to-find runway pieces. The exhibit at La Museum Shibuya features around 50 looks from La Museum's online exhibit '1950s-2010s Part 2 History of Modern Fashion Design,' which opened in March and continues to run concurrently. Pieces from Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Comme des Garçons, Kenzo and Kansai Yamamoto are displayed alongside designs by Alexander McQueen, Helmut Lang, John Galliano and Vivienne Westwood. Another section focuses on the Antwerp Six designers, while a Martin Margiela trench coat with a long tail stands before a photo installation by Maison Martin Margiela, which was only shown once before, at the Grand Palais in Paris in 2006. On another wall in the space are projected images by photographer and editor Shoichi Aoki, known for his work on the Japanese street-style magazines Street, Fruits and Tune. Screened from an old-school slide projector, the photos were captured in Paris on Oct. 19, 1989, documenting the runway and surrounding scenes of the Maison Martin Margiela spring 1990 collection. Next to this are seven mannequins dressed in looks from the same collection, using the same styling that was shown on the runway. Hashiura said despite the time and effort required to install and then uninstall a physical exhibition such as this one, he hopes to do others in the future if the opportunity arises. He continues to build La Museum's collection — he recently purchased about 20 pieces from Kerry Taylor Auctions in New York—and wants to share this with the public as much as possible. La Museum Shibuya runs from Saturday until June 29 in Tokyo, and is open to the public free of charge.
