Kingdom Season 3 Updates – Release Schedule and Staff

Kingdom, initially released as a manga in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2006, was adapted into an anime by Studio Pierrot in 2012. The anime isn’t very well known globally, but it is as popular as Attack On Titan in Japan. Recently, as an unexpected surprise for fans, Studio Pierrot announced the return of the series with a third season.

Yonkou Productions Tweeted out confirmation that season three of Kingdom is officially in production. The new season will cover the manga’s Alliance Arc. Season three will have a new production staff too.

The series is well known for a feature film release as well. Released in April 2019, this film is truly one in a million: a live-action movie that didn’t disappoint its audience. Based on a short film, to celebrate the series’ 10th anniversary, the full-length live-action movie starred Kento Yamazaki.

The series has two seasons and 70+ episodes under its belt. Still, it’s been five years since the last season so fans are curious about how the production house will handle the revival of the series. Regardless of where they continue the story from, Kingdom is expected to live up to its hype.

The returning cast members include Masakazu Morita as Shin (Xin), Jun Fukuyama as Ei Sei (Yin Zheng), and Rie Kugimiya as Karyō Ten (He Liao Diao).
