Oshi no Ko has been the biggest franchise to debut with HIDIVE in the last few years, and this month kicked off the anime’s return for its highly anticipated third season. But while it was previously an exclusive with HIDIVE, heading into the new episodes it was revealed that the new season was going to be heading to Crunchyroll instead. Thankfully, HIDIVE has confirmed that they will also be offering a simulcast streaming release for Oshi no Ko Season 3 alongside its debut in Japan with a new update.
Oshi no Ko Season 3 Now Streaming With HIDIVE
As confirmed via press release Oshi no Ko Season 3 will be streaming with HIDIVE for fans in the United States, Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and more. The first episode of the new season is currently available to watch as of the time of this writing, and new episodes will continue to release on a weekly basis in their original Japanese language audio with English subtitles. This further expands the simulcast line up for the streaming service with another key return alongside some other notable debuts.
The current Winter 2026 line up for HIDIVE now includes Oshi no Ko Season 3, Chained Soldier Season 2, HELL MODE: The Hardcore Gamer Dominates in Another World with Garbage Balancing, and Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling.

What to Know for Oshi no Ko Season 3
Featuring a returning staff and cast from the second season, Oshi no Ko Season 3 marks a new phase for the anime. HIDIVE teases it as such, “The story enters a new stage… Six months have passed since the release of ‘POP IN 2.’ Thanks to MEMcho’s efforts, B-Komachi is now on the verge of a breakthrough. Aqua is steadily progressing as a multi-talented artist and Akane is on her way to becoming a skilled actress. Meanwhile, Kana has lost her former cheerful demeanor. And Ruby is climbing the ranks of the entertainment industry while pursuing the truth behind the deaths of Ai and Gorou — using lies as a weapon.”
With Aqua currently not seeking revenge for his mother, and Ruby instead inheriting that dark path for herself, fans are going to see a new dynamic unfold as she starts to be the one leading the charge to find out who murdered Ai as well as the doctor that she once had loved in her previous life. It’s going to get more intense than ever if you can believe it.
