Based on Atsushi Ookubo’s manga, Fire Force is one of the most popular anime series in recent times. The first and second seasons were released in consecutive years, 2019 and 2020, before announcing a third installment. However, it took the studio more than four years to release its third season. The anime almost caught up with the manga in Season 2, urging David Production to allow the story to develop further. Since the manga concluded in 2022, the studio made preparations to fully adapt the story in its third season. It will be released in two course, with the first one debuting on April 4th, while the second one is scheduled for January 2026.
