How to Watch Blue Exorcist Season 3

Directed by Daisuke Yoshida for Studio VOLN, Blue Exorcist -Shimane Illuminati Saga- features a returning voice cast from the previous two seasons of the anime. New additions to the cast for the new season include Tomokazu Seki as Lewin Light, Nobuyuki Hiyama as Michael Gedoin, and Kouki Uchiyama as Lucifer. If you wanted to check out the new season along with the previous two seasons of the Blue Exorcist anime, you can now find the anime streaming with Crunchyroll. They tease Blue Exorcist Season 3 as such:

"Rin and his friends successfully defeated the Impure King after his revival in Kyoto and have returned to their daily lives at True Cross Academy. However, the Knights of the True Cross begin receiving an increasing number of consultations about demons as a wave of strange events begins to spread across the world. Meanwhile, Rin and the other Exwires work to solve the mysterious phenomenon plaguing the school. But as the True Cross Academy Festival is in full swing, Lucifer, the King of Light and Commander-in- Chief of the Illuminati, suddenly appears. Lucifer declares war on the Knights of the True Cross – to resurrect the demon god Satan and rejoin the realm of humans, Assiah, and the realm of demons, Gehenna, as one. And to do so, he states that Izumo is necessary for a certain 'plan.'"
