Dandadan Season 3 Officially Announced?
With Dandadan Season 2 just wrapped up, there’s little debate left—it’s definitely in the running for Anime of the Year. When Season 2 first got the green light, some viewers wondered if it could keep the same high bar the first season set.
Turns out, we had nothing to worry about. Season 2 didn’t just meet the expectations; it exceeded them. In fact, the buzz is so good you could argue it’s outshone the original. When you add up the glowing fan letters and social media hype, of course the next season couldn’t stay secret for long.
Dandadan Season 3 Confirmed?
Dandadan Season 3 Will Probably Hit Screens in Late 2026.
Right after Episode 12 ended, the official Dandadan channels dropped the big news. Yes, Season 3 is happening! That means we’ll be hanging out again with Okarun, Momo, and the rest of the wild crew, diving even deeper into the bizarre charm and intense story that keeps us glued to the screen.
As I write this, the official Dandadan accounts still only say that the show is getting a third season—no release date or episode number yet. That’s completely normal since the season isn’t in production yet.
Dandadan Season 3 will be brought to life by Science Saru, the same studio that animated the first two seasons. Fans can rest easy; the animation quality will be top-notch. There will be some new characters as well, so keep an eye out for announcements about new voice actors.

Finally, some are already wondering if Dandadan Season 3 could beat out Solo Leveling for Anime of the Year. We still have a ways to go before awards season, but if the animation keeps this level of quality, anything is possible.
Dandadan Season 3 is in the works over at Science Saru, the same team that brought the first and second seasons to life. Because of that, fans don’t need to fret about the animation quality—if you loved the visuals you can expect the same top-notch style next year. This new season will also add fresh characters, so expect the cast list to grow. Keep an eye out for those announcements to see who will join Okarun and the team.
Could Dandadan actually outshine Solo Leveling and snag Anime of the Year? Well, it’s definitely in the running. Dandadan Season 2 crushed it across the board, so it’s placed in that top-tier slot at the moment. The fights brought us Okarun, Momo, and Jiji at their very best, joining a character arc that showed everyone stepping up and leveling up in tough times. The pacing clicked too; no stretch of scenes felt wasted or dragged. If you need a few complaint bullets for season two, they don’t really exist.

Most fans agree that Solo Leveling is a strong contender for Anime of the Year, and it already has one trophy to its name. Season 2 dropped in January 2025, and the buzz was unreal. The show has never shyed away from epic fight scenes, and Season 2 doesn’t hold back. Sung Jinwoo is always up against bosses that could wipe out the country and anyone he cares about. The action is there, no doubt, but the story and world-building could use a little more love. Because of that, the series doesn’t feel as balanced, and it sometimes slows the pace down.
