Fire Force Is Coming Back With Season 3

The long wait for an update is now over as Fire Force has officially announced that it will be coming back for Season 3! Atsushi Okubo’s original manga series has ended its run earlier this year, and that means fans have been hoping to see the anime return in order to make up the lack of new material. With the second season ended its run two years ago, fans were left on a major cliffhanger without any potential word on a third season. It’s been a rough wait so far, but thankfully now the series has confirmed plans for new episodes.

Following reports popping up earlier this month about a potential third season in the works, Kodansha has officially announced that Fire Force indeed will be returning for Season 3 in the future! Unfortunately, the nature of the announcement only confirms that the third season is in the works and details about its potential production, potential returning staff and cast, and especially a potential release date or window has yet to be revealed as of the time of this writing. But getting a third season confirmation is still a big deal:

The second season’s final episode had set up some pretty big things for Shinra as he discovered more of the dark roots behind his past and ability, so fans will definitely want a refresher before the new episodes hit. If you wanted to catch up with Fire Force before the third season premieres, you can now find the first two seasons streaming with Crunchyroll. They tease the series as such:

“Tokyo is burning, and citizens are mysteriously suffering from spontaneous human combustion all throughout the city! Responsible for snuffing out this inferno is the Fire Force, and Shinra is ready to join their fight. Now, as part of Company 8, he’ll use his devil’s footprints to help keep the city from turning to ash! But his past and a burning secret behind the scenes could set everything ablaze.”
