Alice in Borderland Season 3 live-action series revealed a new trailer and poster visual ahead of its September 25 debut. The third season was announced in September 2023, with director Shinsuke Sato and main stars Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya all confirmed to be returning.
New cast additions were recently revealed and inclide Koji Okura, Sakura Kiryu, Risa Sudo, Kotaro Daigo, Tina Tamashiro, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, Hyunri, and Kento Kaku. Netflix describes the story:
After Usagi is abducted and left unconscious by a mysterious scholar obsessed with the afterlife, Arisu returns to the perilous “Borderland” to save her. Teaming up with new players, they must face the yet-unseen “Joker” stage in a desperate bid to find a way back to their original world.
You can watch the new trailer below.
The main duo both commented on the new season:
Kento Yamazaki (Arisu):
“This time, Arisu and Usagi are acting in separate teams, so the differences in each team’s atmosphere and characters make it really interesting. Because the characters have become so beloved over time, I think that’s why viewers can truly connect emotionally in those life-or-death moments.”
“When I first read the manga, the scene with the flaming arrows left a huge impact on me. So when I read the script for Season 3, I thought, ‘This is it!’”
Tao Tsuchiya (Usagi):
“I did feel a bit of anxiety going into this season, but everything I experienced in the past two seasons forms Usagi’s past in Season 3. So I rewatched the previous seasons over and over to prepare.”
“There’s a game involving colorful dice that I really want people to pay attention to. As the players get pushed to their limits, the performances become so intense and powerful. It truly represents the world of Alice in Borderland where it’s life or death, and players are forced to ask themselves how they want to live. I was honestly amazed.”
Joker had already been teased for the new season, and it’s clear the card will be the key factor for the final part of the live-action adaptation. You can see the new poster below
The original Alice in Borderland manga by Haro Aso ran from November 2010 to March 2016, and it ended with 64 chapters over 18 compilation volumes. The first season of the live-action covered around 31 chapters in 8 episodes, while the second covered the rest of the main story (making some changes, such as excluding some games, not showing Joker and instead teasing him as a card, etc.).
There was also direct sequel to the manga by the author titled Alice in Borderland Retry, where the protagonist Ryohei Arisu found himself in Borderland again and has to go through more deadly games 8 years after the events of the original. It was compiled in two volumes.
