Summary

  • Oshi no Ko season 3 confirmed for 2026 release, exact date unknown.
  • Fans disappointed by manga ending, hope anime's new season improves.
  • Studio Doga Kobo taking time to ensure quality, no rush for development.

Aka Akasaka's Oshi no Ko is an outstanding drama series that has won over the audience with its riveting story and an excellent cast of characters. The anime has a unique way of narrating events, which makes it impossible for viewers to take their eyes off the screen.

After two highly successful seasons, Oshi no Ko confirmed that a third season was on the way, but fans did not have a clue as to when it would air. Fortunately, the silence was broken after months of waiting. Oshi no Ko season 3 will be released in 2026. No precise release date has been disclosed, which makes sense considering the anime is likely to be a ways off from release.

Oshi no Ko Season 3 Release Date

Following the conclusion of the Oshi no Ko manga, fans were distressed by its ending. A novel was released after the manga ended, which expanded on the finale further. But that didn't seem to win fans over, and they lamented over its lackluster ending.

With fans frustrated by the manga's ending, Studio Doga Kobo will have to try its best to ensure that the anime's third season doesn't let them down. Until now, the studio has done a fabulous job at adapting the manga, and fans will be hoping that it continues with season 3. The new season being released in 2026 is rather telling.

It clearly shows that Studio Doga Kobo does not want to rush anything and gives its staff enough time to weave their magic. Already, anime fans have seen how many titles were butchered by studios because their development was rushed. Hopefully, Studio Doga Kobo takes note and refrains from doing such a thing.
