Dan Da Dan Season 3 confirmed, first look revealed

After months of silence and plenty of fan speculation, Dan Da Dan Season 3 has finally shown signs of life. The update came during Jump Festa 2026 in Japan, where the anime confirmed what many expected but few wanted to hear: Dan Da Dan Season 3 is officially set for a 2027 release.

Yes, it’s a wait. A longer one than the near back-to-back release of the first two seasons. Still, the announcement at least puts a marker on the calendar and gives fans something solid to hold onto. To soften the blow, the team also revealed a first look at new footage, offering a brief but welcome reminder that Dan Da Dan Season 3 is very much real and moving forward.

According to production details shared at the event, Dan Da Dan Season 3 will once again be animated by Science SARU, keeping continuity intact after the visual style helped define the series early on. While staff specifics remain under wraps for now, the core voice cast is confirmed to return, bringing back familiar energy to characters fans already feel attached to.

There’s also a lingering mystery. The strange alien girl teased at the end of Season 2—and now visible again in promotional material—still hasn’t been explained. That unanswered thread is clearly being saved for Dan Da Dan Season 3, and it’s already fueling theories online.

From a production standpoint, the gap makes sense. The first two seasons felt like two halves of the same story, produced in a tight cycle. Season 3 marks the franchise’s first clean break into a new production phase, which likely explains the extra time.

That doesn’t make the wait easier. Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger, and stretching that suspense into 2027 stings a bit. Still, the early confirmation suggests confidence in the series’ future. If all goes well, Dan Da Dan Season 3 may be just the beginning of a longer roadmap for the anime.

For now, fans wait. And watch closely.
