Is Alice in Borderland Season 3 renewed? Find out.
Premiered in December 2020, Alice in Borderland is inspired by a titular manga series that follows the life of Arisu who suddenly finds himself in an alternate Tokyo which does not inhabit humans. Without any ideas as to what is going on around him and what is happening to him, he only knows that he is supposed to get “visas” that will prevent him from being executed. On his way, he comes across a rock climber, Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya) who ends up being Arisu’s partner in unraveling the mystery of the circumstances.
Season 1 gave the audience such a riveting plotline. It’s been two years since the fans of the show got the opportunity to watch the second season of this exciting show, which has proven to be equally exciting and thrilling.
For those unversed, the official synopsis of Alice in Borderland reads:
“An aimless gamer and his two friends find themselves in a parallel Tokyo, where they’re forced to compete in a series of sadistic games to survive.”
That being said, here’s everything you need to know about Alice in Borderland season 3.
Has Alice in Borderland been officially renewed for a third season?
At the time of writing, Netflix has not renewed Alice in Borderland for a third season, however, the initial statistical reports determining the performance of the second season seem compelling. Not only that, but the latest season ends on a cliffhanger which heightens the possibility of renewal.
According to What’s on Netflix, “The first season has also seen a big resurgence in viewership since the arrival of season 2. Between December 18th and January 1st, season 1 picked up an additional 48.8 million new hours watched.”
What can we expect to happen in Alice in Borderland Season 3?
*Spoiler alert*
In the season 2 finale, the stakes for Arisu and others were higher than ever before. The viewers understand why Arisu, being the only one fit to compete in the final game, was able to drag Usagi also. In the final game, Queen of Hearts, Mira is the croquet who almost succeeds in manipulating the pair to believe that the entire world is an illusion. However, Usagi dissuades Arisu from believing and that’s how they end up revealing their feelings for each other.
Despite winning the game of croquet, Mira is later annihilated by the sky laser and all of the players are provided with a choice of either returning to the real world or staying back in Borderland. Most of the players decide to leave, except for Banda and Yaba.
With the arrival of the players in the real world, they discover that a meteor destroyed a majority portion of Tokyo and none of them had any recollection of their shared experience in Borderlands. Arisu also learns that everyone who hadn’t died was transported back to Borderlands.
With Arisu and Usagi finding each other back in the hospital, the camera covers the hospital grounds, featuring a table full of playing cards which are mysteriously blown away, except for the Joker card.
If Alice in Borderland returns for a third season, viewers can expect some paramount deviations in the plot structure since they have limited source material to work from. According to What’s on Netflix, “The Joker card shown at the end of the series heavily alluded to the character of the Joker, who is in the manga series, but not yet revealed in the television adaptation.”
