After a long wait of almost three years, Alice in Borderland Season 3 is set to return on Netflix. Season 2, which premiered in December 2022, left fans on the edge of their seats with a chilling cliffhanger.
Netflix released the main trailer on August 26, 2025 (PT), giving fans a first look at what’s coming. While the first two seasons largely adapted Haro Aso’s manga, Alice in Borderland Season 3 blends elements from Aso’s sequel Alice in Borderland: Retry with new storylines created for the series.
Alice in Borderland Plot
The series is about Arisu, a Japanese boy who is obsessed with the gaming world. One day, he suddenly finds himself in a strange, deserted version of Tokyo, where he and his friends have to face deadly survival games to survive.
Season 2: Arisu and Usagi survive the brutal challenges and return to normal lives, thinking their nightmare was over. However, the final shot reveals a joker card, which hints that the game is not over yet.
Season 3: The season picks up where it ended. Arisu and Usagi get married and no longer remember the deadly games. But things take a darker turn. Suddenly, Usagi goes missing and is dragged back into the deadly games of Borderland. Determined to save and bring her back, Arisu risks everything and bravely reenters Borderland.
