Alright, nerds — the wait is real, but the news is official: DANDADAN Season 3 is happening, and it's coming in 2027. Science SARU is back behind the wheel, and if you've read Yukinobu Tatsu's manga, you know the next chapter of this story is about to go absolutely cosmic.
Let's run down exactly what's confirmed, what's still up in the air, and why the wait until 2027 is actually good news.
What we know for certain:
- Season 3 is officially greenlit. The announcement dropped on the anime's official social channels on September 18, 2025, right after the Season 2 finale wrapped — no teasing, no "under consideration," just a straight-up production confirmation.
- A 2027 premiere is locked in. The release window was formalized on stage at Jump Festa 2026 on December 21, 2025, where the staff also debuted a brand-new key visual drenched in eye-catching purple tones. It features Okarun and Turbo Granny stunned wide-eyed, Momo looking suspicious, and that mysterious girl from the space kaiju suit peeking out of her armor in the background.
- Science SARU returns. The studio behind the show's jaw-dropping, punk-rock animation is back for season three, which means the signature fluidity and comedic timing that made the first two seasons sing aren't going anywhere.
- The story goes to space. Season 2 wrapped the Kaiju arc (adapting up to roughly chapter 71 of the manga), and Season 3 is expected to launch straight into the Space Globalists arc — the longest and wildest arc in the manga so far. New alien factions, higher-stakes battles, and a whole lot of chaos for Momo, Okarun, and the gang.
Why the longer wait? Seasons 1 and 2 were produced together and split at release, but Season 3 is an entirely new production — and the manga's Space Globalists arc is a monster to adapt. The break also gives Tatsu's ongoing Shonen Jump+ serialization (over 12 million copies in circulation!) room to build a healthy buffer, which means no filler, no pacing problems, just peak DANDADAN.
What's fresh right now: earlier this month, the anime's official accounts shared a brand-new fall-themed illustration of Momo and the crew to get fans reacquainted — and DANDADAN has been confirmed as one of the titles showing off something at Jump Festa 2027 (December 19–20). That's where we'd bet on a teaser trailer or a firmer release window.
How to catch up: both seasons stream on Netflix, Hulu, and Crunchyroll, so there's zero excuse not to be caught up by the time Momo and Okarun blast off in 2027. Believe us — after that season 2 cliffhanger (that kiss! that exploding house!), you will want to be ready.
