Dandadan Season 3 Confirmed — What It Might Cover

If you’ve been riding the wild roller-coaster that is Dandadan, this is the good news you’ve been waiting for: the anime has officially been renewed for Season 3. What we don’t have yet is a release date, trailer, or full staff list — but we do have solid clues about where the story can (and probably will) go next, plus how long it’ll take to get there. Below I walk you through what’s confirmed, what credible outlets report, the manga-to-anime mapping you should know, and realistic expectations for timing and tone.

Multiple reputable outlets reported the Season 3 announcement within hours of the Season 2 finale. Crunchyroll’s news feed and major entertainment sites all carried confirmation that a third season is now in production — usually the clearest sign that the production committee intends to continue adapting the manga. These writeups don’t include a release window yet, but the renewal itself is the important step.

If you care about spoilers, skip the next paragraph; otherwise this is the useful mapping:

• The anime’s two seasons have adapted the early major arcs (Turbo Granny, Acrobatic Silky, Curse House, Evil Eye, and the current Space/kaiju beats). Reviewers tracking episode-to-chapter mapping say Season 2 pushed the adaptation into the Evil Eye → Space Kaiju / Space Globalists territory and that the finale teases even bigger, extraterrestrial-level stakes. Season 3 will almost certainly continue through the Space Globalists arc and then onward into the next major sagas in the manga.

Want chapter numbers? The anime has been adaptive (sometimes compressing or extending material) but rough trackers suggest Season 1 finished around chapter ~33 and Season 2 has carried things into the 60s–70s range; the manga itself is well past that , so there’s plenty left to adapt. If you want to be ready, brushing up from Chapter ~70 onward will put you in the right place to enjoy Season 3 when it lands.

Staff, cast, and production

Right now the announcement is an update that Season 3 exists — the production committee hasn’t released a full staff/cast list or studio confirmation in the same press cycle. Historically, Dandadan has been animated by Science SARU with Hiroshi Seko on series composition and Kensuke Ushio scoring, that team produced Seasons 1 and 2 and it’s common (but not guaranteed) for returning series to keep core staff. Many reputable outlets are already speculating about returns, but treat staff/cast continuity as likely but unconfirmed until the studio posts an official staff block.

when might Season 3 air?

There’s no official date yet. Look at precedent: Season 2 arrived less than a year after Season 1 wrapped (the team fast-tracked production thanks to strong popularity), but that kind of rapid turnaround is unusually tight. Expect at least 9–18 months for Season 3 if production started immediately — possibly longer if the studio wants a bigger cour, more episodes, or a higher production polish for the extraterrestrial set-pieces that the upcoming arcs demand. Bottom line: don’t bank on a 2025 release; a 2026–2027 window is the safer bet unless the studio says otherwise.

Dandadan is one of those rare shows that manages to be both an absolute gag machine and legitimately inventive storytelling. Season 3 isn’t just another renewal — it’s the mean-green promise that the anime will keep adapting Yukinobu Tatsu’s increasingly ambitious, increasingly weird world. Whether you’re a casual viewer or a manga purist, the next season should be one of the most playful and spectacular anime events to watch for in the next couple of years.
