Alice in Borderland Stars Drop Bombshell on the Series' Future After Season 3
Alice in Borderland roars back after a three-year hiatus with Season 3—and the stars say the game might not be over. In a fresh interview, Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya tease what’s next for Arisu and Usagi, hinting that a fourth season could be in play.
Netflix's Alice in Borderland is finally on the horizon again after a long wait, and the two leads are already talking about where the story could go next. Yes, Season 4 talk is happening before Season 3 even drops. Welcome to TV in 2025.
So... Season 4?
Kento Yamazaki (Arisu, and also the lead of Kingdom) and Tao Tsuchiya (Usagi, from the Rurouni Kenshin films) both told The Hollywood Reporter they would happily come back if the show keeps going beyond Season 3. Yamazaki admitted he feels the weight of how big the series has gotten worldwide, but he sounds game to stick with it.
"I am a fan of the show myself ... Of course, if it’s going to continue in some way, I’ll be very much keen to be part of that."
Tsuchiya, meanwhile, was honest about being surprised Season 3 even happened. She felt Season 2 wrapped things up neatly, but once she heard what Season 3 does with the characters, she started seeing a path forward. Specifically: expect the story to get more personal. In Season 3, Usagi is pregnant. Tsuchiya floated the idea that a future season could center on the child and the stakes of getting not just the leads, but their family, back to the normal world. In her words, that could be a really interesting, more familial angle.
The timing wrinkle
One thing to clear up, because the timeline chatter gets messy: Season 3 is set to premiere on Netflix on September 25, 2025. That lines up with the roughly three-year gap since Season 2, but if you saw anyone phrasing it like Season 3 just dropped, that’s not accurate. We’re waiting a bit longer.
- Both leads want in if Alice in Borderland continues after Season 3.
- Tsuchiya says Season 3 has Usagi pregnant and sees potential for a more family-driven story in a possible Season 4.
- Yamazaki acknowledges the global pressure but is eager to keep going.
- Season 3 premieres on Netflix on September 25, 2025.
- The interview ran in The Hollywood Reporter; the Season 4 chatter first started making the rounds after SuperHeroHype picked it up.
Bottom line: nothing official on Season 4 yet, but the stars are already seeding ideas. If Netflix wants more Borderland after September, the cast sounds ready to play another round.
