Oshi No Ko season 3 reveals new trailer: Every new information you need to know

Oshi no Ko Season 3 has recently released an official trailer, accompanied by several key announcements for the audience. The first season was published in April 2023, and the second in July 2024, to immense critical acclaim. Integrating drama in the entertainment industry, supernatural rebirth, and a murder mystery, Oshi no Ko has already gained the status of the most talked-about anime of the epoch. The third season will likely follow the same route.

The new trailer reveals the essential information that viewers should be aware of. These consist of a set premiere date of January 14, 2026, the introduction of a new ending theme song, and a new key visual of major characters.

The official X account of the anime released a trailer presenting the main visual of Aqua Hoshino and Ruby Hoshino in a neon-lit setting, marking the start of Oshi no Ko Season 3.

Crunchyroll also confirmed the streaming rights and announced that the season would be simulcast for international audiences, along with the visual reveal. The studio remains unchanged, and director Daisuke Hiramaki is back, ensuring continuity in creative management. It also includes a preview of the end theme song, titled "Serenade," performed by Natori, whose name appears in the credits for Oshi no Ko Season 3.

Further information disclosed that Oshi no Ko Season 3 will start six months after the events surrounding the release of POP IN 2 in the narrative, foreshadowing the story development. There is a lot to adapt, as the manga original by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari has been published in 16 volumes so far. Season 2 covered volumes 5-8 (chapters 41-80) of the manga, so later arcs beyond chapter 80 require adaptation in Oshi no Ko Season 3.

Oshi no Ko Season 3: Trailer analysis and what the fans should anticipate

The latest trailer for Oshi no Ko Season 3 features three major announcements. To begin with, it will be premiered on January 14, 2026. Secondly, Ruby and Aqua are set to enthral the audience. Third, the closing song by Natori is disclosed, providing a musical impetus to the announcement. In the official teaser for Season 3, we see a visual that features a script for the variety show “Dig Deep! One Chance!,” which aligns with chapter 81 of the Mainstay arc.

It is further confirmed in the credits that the series continues to be animated by Doga Kobo, series composer Jin Tanaka, character designer Kanna Hirayama, and the returning cast, including Takeo Otsuka (as Aqua) and Yurie Igoma (as Ruby), who will continue to be part of the series. Since Season 3 of Oshi no Ko will be based on the manga arcs, these episodes will be darker, with a faster rate of adaptation compared to the previous seasons.

The Japanese broadcasting stations are not mentioned, but the past seasons have been aired on Tokyo MX and other stations. This implies instant access to foreigners on the opening of the season, followed by subtitles (and possibly dubbing).
