Will there be a Vinland Saga season 3? Latest news

As someone who has been captivated by the Viking saga since my days of raiding villages with friends made out of pillows and cardboard shields, I can confidently say that Vinland Saga is a treasure trove of epic storytelling. The series’ blend of historical accuracy, compelling characters, and breathtaking animation has left me eagerly awaiting each new season.


Regardless of the format, there’s consistently an affinity for tales about Vikings, and Vinland Saga is no different. The anime series focuses on Thorfinn Thordarson, a character who vows retribution against Askeladd, a Viking leader commanding up to one hundred warriors, following his father Thors’ death, and seeking revenge for the wrong done to him.

Initially produced by Wit Studio for its debut season, and later by MAPPA for the subsequent one, Vinland Saga gained global recognition upon its premiere in July.

The animation was hailed as the top anime of the last decade (from 2010 to 2019) by IGN, and Polygon referred to it as “the Vikings-inspired anime that you didn’t realize you were craving for.” It goes without saying that the first season was a true work of art.

2023 marked the airing of Season 2 of Vinland Saga, approximately four and a half years following Season 1’s debut. Similar to its first season, it received critical acclaim and bagged the title of Best Anime Series at the IGN Awards.

What’s coming up next for Vinland Saga in its third season? Keep reading as we uncover all the latest updates, including predicted release dates, storyline hints, and the anticipated cast members reprising their roles.

Will there be a Vinland Saga season 3?

As of now, the specific date for Vinland Saga season 3 has not been announced yet. Although it might appear disappointing given that the second season ended in 2023, remember that there was a four-year gap between seasons 1 and 2. Given the abundance of Makoto Yukimura’s manga chapters left to be animated, we may have a wait ahead of us.

The additional optimism we have for Vinland Saga season 3 stems from the fact that, much like Digital Spy noted, character designer Takahiko Abiru hinted on social media that Thorfinn’s storyline will carry on beyond season 2.

What could the plot of a potential Vinland Saga season 3 be?

From a movie enthusiast’s perspective, I’d say that in Vinland Saga season 2, I found myself immersed in the complex bond between Einar, a farmer who suffered the same tragic fate as his family at the hands of Vikings, and Thorfinn. Initially contrasting characters, they formed an unlikely friendship over time and teamed up to secure their liberty by the end of season 2, leading us up to approximately chapter 100 of the manga.

Considering the context, it’s reasonable to expect that in all probability, Vinland Saga season 3 might delve into the Eastern Expedition storyline, although there’s always a possibility that the series could deviate and explore new territory beyond the original manga.

After being away for sixteen long years, I find myself back home at last. Yet, my heart yearns for a shared adventure with Einar – the discovery of the legendary land, Vinland. To make this dream a reality, I must embark on a journey eastward, towards the lands of Greece, to gather the means needed for our quest.

In my perspective, embarking on Thorfinn’s odyssey isn’t a walk in the park. He encounters both familiar faces, some of whom are allies, and others who are foes, as he navigates his path.
