Oshi no Ko Season 3 Confirms 2026 Return

Oshi no Ko has utterly captivated fans since the anime’s release back in April 2023 and with season 2 adapting the exciting 2.5D Stage Play Arc, Oshi no Ko is slowly but surely approaching the final stages of its story. Season 2 especially saw the plot thicken as several key mysteries were finally laid out, leaving fans desperately waiting for Season 3 to see where these developments would ultimately lead.

While Season 3 of Oshi no Ko will no doubt delve deeper into the mysterious identity of Aqua and Ruby’s father, with the season adapting the Mainstay Arc, fans of Ruby might finally be in for a treat as she takes the spotlight instead of Aqua this time around. As the new poster reveals, the Mainstay Arc will see Ruby finally make a name for herself and gain popularity in the entertainment industry, with the script in her hands being for the “Dig Deep! One Chance!” variety show that Ruby is set to star in. All in all, though Season 3 of Oshi no Ko may still be a long way from releasing just yet, this next installment promises to be just as enthralling, with Doga Kobo sure to make the long wait worth it.
