Made in Abyss Season 3 continues to be one of the most anticipated sequels to be coming to the screens. With the announcement already been made, fans continue to wait for more updates on the series. However, there seems to be a lot of confusion about the release slate and the renewal status. There is no need to fret as we have got you covered. Without taking much of your time, here is all you need to know about the third season!


Is Made in Abyss Season 3 Renewed

The third season of Made in Abyss has been renewed and the fans will be delighted to know that it will be coming to the screens pretty soon. Following the conclusion of the second season, the production committee announced at a special event in Japan on January 15, 2023, that a sequel series to the second season, known as the Golden City of Scorching Sun, had been approved for production. This confirmation sparked excitement among fans, eager to continue the journey with Riko, Reg, and Nanachi.


Is There Enough Source Material?

One of the concerns among fans is whether there is sufficient source material to support a third season. Made in Abyss is adapted from the manga series written and illustrated by Akihiko Tsukushi. As of now, the manga has been serialized in Takeshobo's Web Comic Gamma since 2012, with a total of 66 chapters collected in 12 tankobon volumes.

Expected Release Slate

While a release date for Made in Abyss Season 3 has not been announced yet, fans can expect the production to take some time. Kinema Citrus, the production house behind the anime, has officially renewed the series for a third season, but the lack of manga materials has delayed production. 

Typically, the production would require at least twenty chapters for a full-fledged season with 12 episodes. Given the available chapters at the moment (Chapters 61-66), it's speculated that only three or four episodes could be produced. Therefore, fans may have to wait a couple of years for Season 3 to hit their screens.
