Since the second season finished airing in 2022, fans were expecting a long wait for the third season. However, on January 15, 2023, the official Made in Abyss Twitter account confirmed that the anime had been renewed for a highly anticipated third season.
Here’s everything you should know regarding the upcoming new season of Made in Abyss and when it will be released.
Made in Abyss has been a phenomenon since its debut in 2017. The combination of its exceptional two seasons and the accompanying film, Dawn of the Deep Soul, has made this adventure fantasy series one of the best in its genre.
With its captivating story, memorable characters, and breathtaking visuals, the Made in Abyss anime has become a classic.
Fans have become deeply invested in the duo of Riko and Reg but also connected with other popular characters like the precious Nanachi and the erratic Faputa, which the third season will hopefully give us more of.
Now that the new sequel is confirmed, the anticipation is growing as Made in Abyss fans around the world get ready for the next season and prepare to embark on another journey into the depths of the Abyss.
This article provides everything we know about Made in Abyss Season 3, including the release date and plot details.
When Will the Third Season of Made in Abyss Be Released?
As of February 2024, the studio has not officially announced a release date for Made in Abyss Season 3. The production team continues to work on the season, but fans should not expect the premiere of season 3 until at least late 2025 or early 2026.
So, all we know is that it’s not coming anytime soon.
The release is at least one to two years away, some fans even think we won’t see it before 2027. But rest assured, as soon as the release date is known, we will let you know! We will be among the first to report on the airing date.
Great news! The author has expressed a goal to release the manga faster, which would bring the release of the next season closer. Otherwise, we would need to wait for at least four to five years just for enough source material.
The Made in Abyss manga is notorious for slow release speed. That’s why we were waiting for the second season so long, and it looks like we are in for another long wait.
Still, fans of Made in Abyss should expect to wait several years.
In the meantime, let’s delve into what we can expect from the plot of Made in Abyss Season 3 and how the current manga status looks.
Made in Abyss Season 3 Plot
Season three will continue to adapt the manga series written and illustrated by Akihito Tsukushi. The Made in Abyss manga is a still ongoing series.
We know that season 3 will likely be the last, as Riko, Reg, and Nanachi will be descending into the last layer of the abyss. This time they will bring Faputa with them, which should make the Abyss a little bit easier.
Each season of Made in Abyss has covered four books.
The movie adapted material from Volume 5. Expectations are that the third season of Made in Abyss will adapt manga volumes 10 to 13.
So, if you want to continue the story from where the anime ended, have a look at Made in Abyss manga volume 10 in English.
I highly recommend checking out the Made in Abyss Manga. Although the anime did a good job, the manga is even more outstanding.
So far, there are 12 volumes, so we need one more and at least one to two more for a buffer, so we don’t wait for Made in Abyss Season 4 for five years if season 3 won’t be the last one, or if they plan at least one more movie.
Good news! It’s also possible that the series will end with the following one to two volumes. In that case, we don’t need the buffer. That would mean we will get more Made in Abyss faster than anyone would predict.
Last Thoughts
That’s all the information we have about Made in Abyss Season 3, including its release date and storyline. No official announcement has been made yet regarding the release of a trailer, cast, or streaming platform for Made in Abyss.
The year 2024 promises to be exciting for anime fans!
With highly anticipated releases such as Re:Zero Season 3, One Punch Man Season 3, and Saga of Tanya The Evil Season 2. These sequels alone should help satisfy your cravings for more top-notch anime content while we wait.
