June 18, 2026, 9:00pm

The exciting Summer 2026 anime season is right around the corner as fans await the return of several exciting series. It’s going to be one of the biggest anime seasons in a while, thanks to the return of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Part 4, Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2, and several more series. One of the most anticipated anime series of the season is Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3, which will premiere next month on Crunchyroll. The anime originally debuted in January 2021 and remains one of the biggest isekai series of all time. While Crunchyroll is streaming all seasons and parts of the anime, Netflix debuted it in April this year. The anime continues to expand its range in more streaming platforms as Hulu just confirmed streaming the first season starting July 5th, 2026.

The anime will only be available in a subbed version for now, but we can expect more updates later this year. Just like the streaming giant Netflix, Hulu releases a new slate of series and movies coming to the platform each month, some of which include anime as well. While the June schedule on Hulu was disappointing for anime fans, July 2026 has all kinds of exciting series making their debut on the platform, so don’t forget to check out the complete schedule on the official website.

What Is Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation About?

The anime is based on a renowned novel written by Rifujin na Magonote and illustrated by Sirotaka. The story centers around a 34-year-old man who was bullied and oppressed his whole life. When he finally found a chance to do something heroic, he died in a tragic accident. However, he finds himself awakened in another world as Rudeus Greyrat. With memories of his previous life and his loving parents to support him, Rudeus easily adapts to the new world.

He also displays exceptional magical talent at a young age that stuns everyone around him. Thanks to his father and a mage named Roxy Migurdia, he hones his skill in both swordplay and magic. As the story continues, he strives to lead a better life than his previous one with his loved ones.

What to Expect From Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3?

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation will continue Rudeus’ journey in Season 3, bringing more challenges and dangers than ever. The second season dove into the intense nature of Rudeus’ emotional baggage and trauma following Eris’s abandonment of him. No doubt it took a lot of time to heal from all of that, both physically and mentally. It also meant that it was absent from a lot of the action that really drew fans in back with the first season of the story.

That’s likely going to change with the upcoming season hitting next month since it’s teasing all kinds of major threats coming to wreck Rudeus’ now much happier life, so make sure to catch up with all of its episodes thus far with Crunchyroll in the meantime. The third season will premiere on July 5th, 2026, on Crunchyroll in the subbed version, and we can expect English dub to drop around two weeks later.
