Netflix recently confirmed the return of its hit Japanese sci-fi thriller, Alice in Borderland, for a third season and has released a teaser for the same. The surprise teaser was dropped late on Wednesday.

At the APOS entertainment and media industry conference in Bali, Indonesia, Netflix’s vice president of content in Asia Pacific, Minyoung Kim, made the news official by announcing the renewal during a keynote talk from the stage.

The second season introduced additional cast members, including Tomohisa Yamashita as “King of Clubs” Kyuma, Yuri Tsunematsu as Heiya, Hayato Isomura as Banda, Kai Inowaki as Matsushita, Katsuya Maiguma as Yaba and Honami Sato as Kotoko. 

In the third season, Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya will return as Arisu and Usagi, respectively. Director Shinsuke Sato will also remain at the helm, ensuring that the series maintains its signature intensity and visual flair.

Based on the manga series of the same name by Aso Haro, Alice in Borderland follows the story of Arisu after he is transported to a parallel universe in which he has to play and win games to remain alive. The games are divided into four categories represented by suits on a deck of playing cards.
