Alice in Borderland Season 3 teaser: Usagi vanishes, Arisu re-enters deadly world

In September, the high-stakes survival game will return. Season 3 of Alice in Borderland will make its worldwide debut on September 25, 2025, according to Netflix. Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya reprise their respective roles as Arisu and Usagi in the Japanese sci-fi thriller that is adapted from Haro Aso's manga. Shinsuke Sato is back at the helm for the next season.

Arisu and Usagi’s quiet life is shattered

After making it through every card game in the Borderland, Arisu and Usagi returned to the real world at the end of Season 2. Now that they're married and living their lives in peace, they start having dreams and images about their history in the enigmatic realm. As the new season commences, Usagi disappears from sight. Arisu is pulled back into the dangerous world he thought he had left behind, despite his best efforts.

When Banda, a character from past games, confronts Arisu and tells him that Usagi has re-entered the Borderland, the narrative thickens. As soon as Arisu decides to follow her, she faces more perilous obstacles, such as deadly fire arrows and electric strikes. The last and most mysterious game, symbolised by the Joker card, is ahead, as he tries to get to Usagi.
