As the finale of Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 approaches next week, fans are understandably anxious about the series’ future. However, recent reports suggest that there is no need for concern, as the confirmation for Season 3 has already been secured.
Although an official declaration is forthcoming—set to follow the last episode of Season 2—there’s no need to expect immediate updates regarding its release window.
Anticipated Release Date for Season 3
As of now, the announcement regarding Season 3 is expected to confirm that the production is officially in progress without indicating a specific release date. Fans should manage their expectations realistically; typically, it can take 1 to 2 years for a popular anime to return to the screens. Therefore, a premiere in late 2026 could be plausible.

- Towa Amane voiced by Yoko Hikasa
- Kei Uomi voiced by Makoto Koichi
- Emul voiced by Rina Hidaka

Any significant changes will be communicated through the anime’s official channels.
