tvN’s beloved variety show, Earth Arcade, is set to return for an exciting third season, with its premiere scheduled for April 25, 2025. According to a recent report by OSEN on March 11, 2025, the series will air on Friday nights, continuing to engage its dedicated fanbase. Under the direction of producer PD Na Young-seok, the show features a talented cast comprised of Lee Eun-ji, Mimi from Oh My Girl, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yu-jin of IVE.
Since its debut, Earth Arcade has exploded in popularity, achieving an impressive peak viewership rating of 3.8% in its first season. The show took viewers on thrilling adventures to Thailand in Season 1 and Finland in Season 2, with the latter season achieving an even higher rating of 4.1%.
What to Expect in Season 3
The remarkable success of Earth Arcade also inspired a spin-off titled Ttu Ttu Bang Bang, where the cast attempted to earn their driver’s licenses while embarking on a self-driven road trip. This spin-off garnered a commendable rating of 2.8%, further solidifying the franchise’s appeal among viewers.
With both previous seasons and the spin-off enjoying strong ratings, tvN has confidently included Earth Arcade 3 in its 2025 programming lineup. Filming for the new season commenced abroad last month, stirring anticipation and excitement among fans. However, official information regarding the number of episodes is still pending from tvN.
Earth Arcade is a unique blend of action, adventure, and multiverse storytelling. The show follows a team of four warriors on an exhilarating quest to capture a mischievous moon rabbit that has made its way to Earth, leading them through various time periods and dimensions.
