The Faraway Paladin Season 3 is a highly anticipated sequel, fueled by the success and popularity of the previous two seasons in 2021 and 2023. With source material scarcity, fans are already wondering about the renewal of this anime for a third season.
Here is everything we know so far about the renewal chances of a new season of The Faraway Paladin and when it could potentially be released.
The anime series “The Faraway Paladin” is based on a long-running popular and successful fantasy light novel of the same name, first published in 2015. The “Saihate no Paradin” light novel series is written by Kanata Yanagino and illustrated by Kususaga Rin, and it has been on hiatus since 2017.
“The Faraway Paladin” is a heartwarming isekai where an orphaned boy raised by an undead family learns magic and responsibility.
It centers around the journey of William G. Maryblood, who awakens in the company of a skeleton, a ghost, and a mummy. This unusual trio imparts knowledge about magic and emphasizes the significance of responsibility.
So far, the anime television series “The Faraway Paladin” has only seen two seasons, with a studio shift for the second season (originally directed by Yuu Nobuta and animated by Children’s Playground Entertainment, then directed by Akira Iwanaga and animated by OLM + Sunrise Beyond).
There has been no announcement on whether the studio and director have plans for a potential new season of The Faraway Paladin, fueling uncertainty about renewal.
The first 12-episode The Faraway Paladin television anime series premiered in Japan in October 2021. A second season on October 2023. So, can we expect The Faraway Paladin Season 3 Episode 1 or some other continuation?

Will There Be A Season 3 Of The Faraway Paladin?
The Faraway Paladin season 3 is yet to be officially announced. However, the likelihood of additional episodes appears low as there is currently no remaining material in the light novel for adaptation. The last volume, Volume 4, was covered in Season 2, and the series has been on hiatus since 2017.
Adding to that is the anime’s financial performance. Both Season 1 and Season 2 had low Blu-ray sales figures, with fewer than 500 copies sold per disk. Volume 4, the last light novel, was released in 2017. The only significant revenue source is the manga and streaming since there is also almost no merchandise or figmas either.
Still, the main issue stems from the source material. The two seasons of The Faraway Paladin have essentially covered all the content available in the light novel. The author is sick from what I found, so unless he resumes writing the light novel series, a new season is not coming.
Where to start reading The Faraway Paladin after the second season? The Faraway Paladin light novel after the second season is the end of Volume 4.
So, if you want to continue the story from where the second season ended, take a look at The Faraway Paladin Novel Volume 4 in English.
The first season of The Faraway Paladin anime adapted volumes 1 to 2. The second season used volumes 3.1, 3.2, and most of 4, so season 3 should be volumes 5 and 6 if they ever come out.
I highly recommend checking out The Faraway Paladin manga. Many fans prefer manga over light novels or anime, and it is the only way to get more of the story in 2024.
I will update this post with any news or a release date for a new The Faraway Paladin anime project from The Faraway Paladin official Twitter account or Crunchyroll. Leave a comment, subscribe for updates, and don’t forget to check other series!
