After a three-year hiatus, Netflix fans are eagerly awaiting the return of “Alice in Borderland” for its anticipated third season. This gripping series, often praised as being “superior to Squid Game,” follows the intense journey of a gamer and his friends as they navigate a perilous, distorted version of Tokyo, forced to participate in brutal challenges for survival. Adapted from a manga graphic novel, the show stars Kento Yamazaki, Tao Tsuchiya, and Nijirô Murakami and is considered an “underrated gem” by some Netflix enthusiasts.
The buzz surrounding the new season gains momentum as viewers draw comparisons to other popular series such as “Squid Game.” Some fans have expressed excitement online, with comments like, “Cannot wait, loved the Manga, love the show. I am happy it’s back again,” signaling strong anticipation for the upcoming episodes. Others are hopeful that “Alice in Borderland” will overcome the “divisive ending curse” seen in shows like “Game of Thrones,” “The Walking Dead,” and recently “Squid Game.”
Season 3, set to premiere globally on September 25 exclusively on Netflix, promises even more thrilling content. The plot introduces Usagi being transported to the Borderland, with Arisu on a mission to rescue her. As fate separates them, they must rely on new alliances to survive the deadly games. Kento Yamazaki, who plays Arisu, shared insights into the evolving character dynamics and the complex atmospheres within the divided teams. Tao Tsuchiya, portraying Usagi, reflected on her process, delving back into previous seasons to enrich her character’s journey for the new, original storyline.
Fans are particularly eager about the challenges in Season 3, which promises to deliver the most intense games yet, surpassing the stakes and excitement of previous installments. As anticipation builds, the return of “Alice in Borderland” is set to captivate audiences once more, solidifying its place as a standout series in Netflix’s line-up.
