Shonen Jump’s supernatural sci-fi hit still has a long way to go, and if things go right, it will potentially be back by late 2026. This means Okarun, Momo and the rest of the Dandadan gang will be a big competition for any anime dropping in 2026. While the fans have received a confirmation on Dandadan continuing with Season 3, there’s no news on Dandadan Season 3 release date or episode count. Obviously, it’s too early to get into the details at the moment, and more information will be revealed in due time. What’s known is that Science Saru once again will be behind Dandadan Season 3.

The official X account of Dandadan wrote:

“Dandadan Season 3 is confirmed. Thank you to all the fans for your support, and we hope you look forward to what’s in store. Stay tuned for Dandadan Season 3!”

Dandadan Season 3 Could Be The Best Anime Next Year

If Dandadan releases in 2026, which is highly likely, it is going to give tough competition to other big titles like Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2, which is coming early that year, and Jujutsu Kaisen as well. So far, 2026 is shaping up to be absolutely brilliant for anime fans and Dandadan fans certainly believe their series will come out on top as the best next year. JJK Season 3 and the legendary shonen Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity are also on 2026’s slate, making it an exciting year for anime fans.

Despite everything, Dandadan has a unique edge because fans are waiting to see how Season 2’s exciting cliffhanger plays out. Given that the series didn't end long ago, it is fresh in the minds of fans. Dandadan Season 2 recently wrapped up manga Chapter 71, “I’’ Sick of Robots and Kaiju!”, so Dandadan Season 3 will focus on the Space Globalist arc, which is the longest storyline in the series. On top of that, there are still two chapters left in the Kaiju arc, so the Space Globalist arc is definitely going to be the main focus. Thanks to Dandadan’s incredible anime production, it has become one of the biggest anime series, and fans are already excited for Dandadan Season 3.
