The bizarre, high-octane blend of aliens, yokai, and high school romance is officially keeping its momentum alive. Following the conclusion of the second season (the Cursed House and Evil Eye arcs), Science SARU officially greenlit DAN DA DAN for a third season.
From the official production windows to what chaotic manga arcs are next on the adaptation block, here is everything you need to know about Momo and Okarun’s next supernatural hurdle.
Release Date Timeline
DAN DA DAN Season 3 is officially locked to premiere in 2027.
The announcement was formally made by studio Science SARU during Jump Festa, confirming a wider release gap compared to the rapid turnaround between the first two seasons. Because the upcoming narrative is incredibly action-heavy and visual-intensive, the production committee is giving the animation team a longer runway to protect the show’s signature kinetic, fluid visual style. As with previous seasons, it is expected to stream globally on Netflix and Crunchyroll.
Production & Cast Updates
The core creative powerhouse that gave the series its distinct, psychedelic identity is locked in to continue the adaptation:
Studio Shift & Directing: Science SARU remains the animation house. The directorial and composition teams are remaining intact to transition straight into the next major production block.
- Episode Count: Season 3 is highly anticipated to follow the established 12-episode single-cour format, maintaining the fast, punchy pacing of the previous chapters.
The primary Japanese and English vocal casts are fully set to reprise their roles:
- Shion Wakayama / Abby Trott as Momo Ayase
- Natsuki Hanae / AJ Beckles as Ken “Okarun” Takakura
- Kaito Ishikawa / Aleks Le as Jiji (Jintajiro Enjoji)
- Ayane Sakura / Lisa Reimold as Aira Shiratori
- Mayumi Tanaka / Barbara Goodson as Turbo Granny
- Nana Mizuki / Kari Wahlgren as Seiko Ayase
Plot Details: What to Expect (The Space Globalists Arc)
Without giving away heavy structural spoilers, DAN DA DAN Season 3 is set to fully adapt the massive Space Globalists Arc from Yukinobu Tatsu’s original manga.
While the previous season focused heavily on localized, tragic supernatural entities like the Evil Eye, Season 3 shifts the narrative scale completely back into outer space. The plot kicks off when a highly dangerous, coordinated faction of alien invaders known as the Space Globalists launches a full-scale assault to acquire Momo’s latent psychic powers and Okarun’s remaining assets.
The scope of the conflict forces Momo and Okarun to form an uneasy, frantic alliance with both old rivals and eccentric new supernatural entities. Visually, the season will lean heavily into multi-layered kaiju-style battles, complex extraterrestrial technology, and deeper mechanical explanations behind the golden balls that set the entire series in motion—all while balancing the slow-burn, awkward romantic tension brewing between our two lead egoists
