Alice in Borderland Season 3 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Kento Yamazaki & Tao Tsuchiya's J-drama
Alice in Borderland Season 3 OTT Release Date: Get ready to jump back into the wildest, deadliest game on TV. Alice in Borderland is back for Season 3, and it's officially landing on Netflix on September 25, 2025. If you've been biting your nails since Season 2 ended with that mysterious Joker card, trust us, you're not alone.
What's the show even about?
If you're new or forgot the details (because honestly, who remembers everything?), Alice in Borderland is a Japanese survival thriller where normal people end up in a deserted Tokyo and are forced to play deadly games to survive. It's kind of like Squid Game, but darker, grittier, and packed with more mind games. You either win the game or… you know, die.
Quick recap of Alice in Borderland Season 2
Season 2 took things up a notch. Arisu (Kento Yamazaki) and Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya) tackled even more dangerous and twisted 'Face Card' players. The final showdown with Mira, the Queen of Hearts, was a psychological rollercoaster. Eventually, Arisu and the rest beat the final card game and returned to 'reality.' But right before the season ended, boom - a Joker card showed up.
So… What's up with the Joker?
Alice in Borderland Season 3 is expected to dive deep into that mysterious Joker card. In the original manga (which the show is based on), the Joker represents the gatekeeper between life and death, which might mean Arisu and gang never really 'left' the Borderland. Or maybe they're stuck in some kind of in-between world?
Who's coming back?
Good news, the major players are expected to return. That includes Kento Yamazaki as Arisu (the brainy hero with a haunted past), Tao Tsuchiya as Usagi (the fearless rock climber who always has Arisu's back), Nijirō Murakami as Chishiya (the sarcastic genius who's always five steps ahead), Aya Asahina as Kuina (fan-favourite martial artist), Dori Sakurada as Niragi (the chaotic villain everyone loves to hate), Ayaka Miyoshi, Shô Aoyagi, and Yuri Tsunematsu among others.
The Borderland reopens September 25. You in?
