'Dandadan' Season 3 Release Date
Science SARU has officially announced the production of a third season of Dandadan. The announcement was made in September 2025, immediately following the conclusion of the second season.
There is no exact premiere date yet, so fans can only stay updated by following official sources. The third season is expected to premiere in late 2026 or early 2027.
The earlier date is supported by the fact that only six months passed between the announcement of the second season and its premiere. The second season was announced in December 2024 and premiered in July 2025.
However, fans fear that the release date may be pushed back to 2027. One potential reason for the delay is Science SARU's other projects. Two anime series are expected to premiere in 2026: The Ghost in the Shell and A Witch in Mongolia.
What Will 'Dandadan' Season 3 Be About?
The Space Globalists arc is the largest and most highly anticipated storyline set to form the basis of the third season of Dandadan. It's the longest-running arc in the original manga, and fans call it the best in the entire series.
It contains everything fans love about Dandadan – from absurd humor to intensely serious dramas and turning points for key characters.
The narrative centers on a full-scale alien invasion, a threat capable of destroying everything, which raises the stakes to a whole new level. For Okarun, the invasion is an opportunity to fulfill his dream of learning more about the aliens, but the price for this knowledge may be too high.
What Was 'Dandadan' Season 2 About?
The second season of Dandadan consisted of 12 episodes and adapted chapters 34–71 of the manga. These arcs include Cursed House, Evil Eye, and Kaiju. In this season, the friends confront a strange family that has worshiped a giant worm and sacrificed people for 200 years.
Then, the spirit of Evil Eye possesses Jiji's body and manipulates people's feelings and emotions. Evil Eye is the ghost of a boy who was once sacrificed.
The season culminates in the battle with a massive kaiju monster. The mystery of the kaiju remains unsolved and will likely be revealed in the third season.
