BEASTARS will be back in December

On the official site for the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki, "BEASTARS", a new promotional visual for the final season of the project was revealed. The press release confirmed that the first part will premiere in December-2024 on Netflix, but the second part does not yet have a release date.

This final season will be a direct sequel to the second season, and the visual shows Legoshi standing at an intersection between the Outside World and the Black Market. What are the identities of the new characters who are taking a serious look at Legoshi? The visual makes it clear that the last story arc is about to begin.

It should be noted that the fact that this third season is the last has left fans confused, since the equivalence of the content adapted in the two seasons produced to date is around 99 episodes. With another almost 100 episodes remaining, fans fear that everything will be condensed too quickly even if it is a season of more than twenty episodes.

Paru Itagaki began publishing the manga in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shonen Champion magazine in September 2016 and ended it in October 2020. The twelve-episode first season of the anime adaptation premiered during the Fall-2019 season (October-December), followed by a twelve-episode second season aired during the Winter-2021 season (January-March).
