Netflix's 'Alice in Borderland' Season 3 Lands Sept Release And First Trailer
After three long years, fans are finally heading back to the Borderlands once more, as Netflix has set the premiere date for Season 3 of the hit Japanese live-action death game thriller Alice in Borderland , unveiling its first teaser trailer ahead of its release on 25 September 2025.
Beware, spoilers for the first two seasons of Alice in Borderland ahead. Based on Haro Aso's 2015 manga of the same name, the third season will continue the story of Arisu (Kento Yamazaki, Kingdom ) and Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya, Rurouni Kenshin ) as they are drawn back into the dangerous limbo world known as the Borderland. After escaping death at the end of season two, the pair enjoy a seemingly peaceful married life, until a mysterious afterlife researcher, Ryuji (Kento Kaku, Like a Dragon: Yakuza ), abducts Usagi, forcing Arisu back into the Borderland to save her.
The trailer also depicts the final uncleared card, the Joker, which will most likely play a central role in Season 3's plot. Glimpses of new death games were also shown, including ones involving fire arrows and deadly electrical currents, no doubt thrusting Arisu and Usagi, alongside other unfortunate souls, into the thick of an all-out battle for survival that promises to be much larger in scale than the first two seasons.
Joining the returning cast of characters are Banda (Hayato Isomura), Ann (Ayaka Miyoshi) and Yaba (Katsuya Maiguma). Season 3 will also introduce a bunch of new faces, including Koji Ohkura, Risa Sudou, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, Tina Tamashiro, Kotaro Daigo, Hyunri, Sakura Kiryu, Yugo Mikawa, Joey Iwanaga and Akana Ikeda.
Season 3 will be directed once again by Shinsuke Sato, who also penned its script with Yasuko Kuramitsu. The creative team is rounded off by composer Yutaka Yamada, cinematographer Taro Kawazu, production designers Iwao Saito and Shin Nakayama, and VFX supervisor Atsushi Doi.
Is escape in the cards once again for Arisu and Usagi? All will become clear when Alice in Borderland Season 3 premieres on Netflix on 25 September 2025.
