Based on the manga by writer Aka Akasaka and artist Mengo Yokoyari, Oshi no Ko has a pretty wacky premise, involving a doctor and his patient who die and get reincarnated as the twin children of a Japanese pop star.
Oshi no Ko may take place in a glamorous world, but it's also a dark drama involving assassination attempts and revenge plots, portraying the life of a pop idol as dangerous and full of conflict.
Read on to learn everything we know about Oshi no Ko season 3.
Oshi no Ko season 3 release date speculation
Oshi No Ko season 3 will arrive sometime in 2026.
Oshi no Ko's first two seasons aired in 2023 and 2024. Soon after the season 2 finale in October 2024, the show's creators confirmed that season 3 is on the way, and we now know it will arrive in 2026.
While some fans may feel frustrated about waiting an extra year, this announcement means they won't have to wait in limbo about the show's future. Right now, though, there's no specific release date for season 3.
