The highly anticipated supernatural action-comedy anime, Dan Da Dan, has officially been renewed for a third season, with the announcement coming immediately after the conclusion of its second season finale on September 18, 2025. Fans can expect more bizarre adventures featuring Momo Ayase and Ken “Okarun” Takakura as they continue to navigate a world filled with aliens and yokai.
Production Confirmed Following Season 2’s Climax
The official announcement of Dan Da Dan Season 3’s production was met with excitement from its dedicated fanbase. A new illustration was released to commemorate the decision, featuring the beloved main characters Momo, Okarun, and Turbo Granny. Animation studio Science SARU, known for its distinctive animation style in previous seasons, is expected to continue its work on the upcoming installment. The series is adapted from Yukinobu Tatsu’s popular manga, serialized on Shonen Jump+, which boasts over 10 million copies in circulation.
Director Teases New Arcs and Characters
Even before the official confirmation, Dan Da Dan director Fûga Yamashiro had hinted at future story content, expressing excitement for upcoming manga arcs. He previously told ScreenRant that there’s an “arc coming up in Dan Da Dan that’s full of aliens and new characters” that fortunately wasn’t included in Season 2, implying it could be a focus for the third season. Speculation suggests that a potential third season could delve into the “Kaiju arc” from the manga, alongside introducing other new storylines.
Speculated Release Window and Streaming Platforms
While an official release date for Dan Da Dan Season 3 has not yet been announced, a spring or summer 2026 premiere is anticipated, given the relatively quick turnaround between the first and second seasons. Season 1 debuted in October 2024, followed by Season 2 in July 2025. Like its predecessors, the third season is expected to be available for streaming globally on platforms such as Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu.
Dan Da Dan‘s Continuing Success
Dan Da Dan has garnered significant popularity since its debut, with both its first and second seasons receiving critical acclaim for their unique blend of supernatural action, comedy, and romance. The series follows high schoolers Momo Ayase, who believes in ghosts but not aliens, and Ken Takakura (Okarun), who believes in aliens but not ghosts. Their eccentric beliefs clash when they both encounter genuine paranormal threats, forcing them to team up against yokai, UFOs, and various otherworldly chaos. The anime’s success was further highlighted by the theatrical run of Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye, a compilation movie of the early Season 2 episodes, which earned over $6 million at the box office.
The core voice cast, including Shion Wakayama as Momo and Natsuki Hanae as Okarun, is expected to reprise their roles, continuing the beloved dynamic that has captivated audiences.
