Fans of the hit anime [Oshi no Ko] also known as [My Star] can look forward to the continuation of the emotional and twisted tale, as Season 3 has officially been announced. The beloved anime will once again be handled by studio Doga Kobo, which also produced the first season.
When Will Season 3 Air?
According to the official announcement made in October 2024, production is expected to take either 13 or 16 months. That places the likely premiere date in either January 2026 or April 2026, depending on the final production schedule.
What to Expect in Season 3
Season 3 will focus on the evolving relationship between Kurokawa Akane and Hoshino Aquamarine, who are now officially dating. However, beneath the surface of their romance lies a darker goal: Aquamarine’s revenge against his father, Kamiki Hikaru.
The second season ended dramatically at Chapter 80 (Volume 8) of the manga, where Akane and Hoshino Ruby discovered the corpse of Gorou Amamiya, Ruby’s former doctor and the person who originally inspired her to enter the idol world.
In addition, the second season showcased the inner struggles of Arima Kana, whose emotional breakdown nearly tarnished the reputation of the idol group B-Komachi. However, Aquamarine intervened with a bold move—revealing to the public that he and Ruby are the children of the legendary idol Hoshino Ai, shifting attention away from Kana’s incident.
A Glimpse at the Final Arc?
This announcement also hints at the beginning of the final arc of the series. The mysterious character Tsukuyomi is set to appear, acting as a symbolic reminder of the deep connection between Aquamarine and Ruby as they face the emotional climax of their journey.
Final Thoughts
With its mix of psychological tension, idol industry drama, and revenge-driven plotlines, [Oshi no Ko] continues to captivate audiences. Season 3 is shaping up to be one of the most emotional and impactful arcs yet, especially as the story hurtles toward its conclusion.
