Dandadan Season 3 Set for 2027 Release
Netflix and Crunchyroll will stream the anime's third season, which Science SARU will animate with its original voice cast.
Updated on Nov. 7, 2026 in Science Fiction
Netflix has renewed the anime Dandadan for a third season, scheduled to premiere in 2027 and stream on Netflix and Crunchyroll. Science SARU will animate the season, which adapts the Space Globalists Arc from the manga.
Why it matters
The renewal keeps a popular science fiction and action series in production as its source manga continues to be serialized past chapter 240. Earlier leaked release dates for early January 2027 were retracted by the network, leaving the 2027 window as the confirmed timeframe.
The announcement confirms a third season with a 2027 global premiere on Netflix and Crunchyroll, and the manga has been serialized past chapter 240 with enough material for multiple additional twelve-episode blocks. The exact premiere month has not been announced, and the network has not confirmed a date since retracting the leaked January 2027 window.
The players
Science SARU
Science SARU is the Japanese animation studio producing Dandadan, known for its work on fluid action animation across several acclaimed anime series.
Netflix
Netflix is the global streaming service that has renewed Dandadan for season 3 and will stream the new season alongside Crunchyroll.
Crunchyroll
Crunchyroll is an anime streaming platform owned by Sony that will co-stream Dandadan season 3 with Netflix.
The details
Season 3 follows the conclusion of season 2 and covers an extraterrestrial invasion storyline from the original manga. All voice cast members from the first two seasons are returning for the new season.
Timeline
2027: Scheduled global premiere of Dandadan season 3 on Netflix and Crunchyroll.
Early January 2027: Retracted leaked release window for season 3.
Late 2028 or early 2029: Projected release window for a season 4 that would package the Onbusuman and Danmanra arcs.
Industry Dynamics
The renewal extends the co-streaming pattern in which Netflix and Crunchyroll share anime titles, a model that has grown as platforms compete for long-running series. Dandadan's continuation shows how multi-season anime franchises are being scheduled around source manga progress rather than fixed production calendars.
Viewers can expect season 3 to stream on Netflix and Crunchyroll, with the original voice cast returning. Because the exact premiere date has not been set, viewers should watch for the official platform announcement to plan around the 2027 release.
The takeaway
Multi-season anime now often depends on the pace of its source manga, so long-running series can keep getting new seasons as long as chapters remain to adapt. Keep an eye on official Netflix and Crunchyroll channels for the confirmed premiere date.
What happens next
Netflix and Crunchyroll are expected to announce a confirmed premiere date for season 3 during 2027, following the retraction of the earlier leaked January window.
