Beastars is a critically acclaimed anime show based on the namesake manga series written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki. Studio Orange developed the anime, which is currently licensed by Netflix. Season 1 of Beastars aired from October 10, 2019, to December 26, 2019. Two years later, Beastars returned with the sophomore season, which aired between January 7, 2021, to March 25, 2021. As three years have passed since then, fans are wondering whether there will be a Beastars Season 3, and if there is, what its release date is.
Has Netflix canceled Beastars Season 3?
No, Netflix has not canceled Beastars Season 3. The third and final chapter of the anime is coming out sooner than many fans might expect.
Each of the first two seasons of Beastars comprises 12 episodes. The plot takes place in a world inhabited by urban anthropomorphic animals. They are civilized and modern, but distinct cultural and sociological gaps between the carnivores and herbivores underscore their inherent instincts. The plot revolves around Legoshi, a gray wolf, as he develops a romantic interest in Haru, a dwarf rabbit.
Beastars is a completed manga series originally published between 2016 and 2020. It has 22 volumes and 196 chapters. As of the second-season finale, the anime has covered up to chapter 99, so there is plenty of material left to be explored in the upcoming third season.
When is Beastars Season 3’s release date?
Beastars Season 3 is slated to premiere on Netflix in December 2024. The streaming giant announced the news on social media in July 2024. It was also revealed that the final season would have two parts. “A world of impending danger awaits Legoshi as the final chapter begins,” said the post shared on the official Netflix Anime X (formerly, Twitter) account. “BEASTARS Final Season will be released in two parts with Part 1 coming THIS DECEMBER, only on Netflix!”
It is safe to presume that part 2 of the concluding season of Beastars will debut at a later date.
