Netflix has been actively creating live-action versions of popular manga and anime series in recent years. While some haven’t quite hit the mark, many fans agree that their adaptation of One Piece is the best so far. When it comes to manga, Alice in Borderland has proven to be their most successful live-action series. The first season, released in December 2020, was a hit with viewers and quickly gained a dedicated following. The second season, which arrived in 2022, seemed to wrap up the story, providing a complete narrative.
The third season of Alice in Borderland came back with an even more puzzling story, captivating viewers. It quickly became a hit, ranking second in its first week and then jumping to number one the following week. According to What’s On Netflix, the show stayed in the top 10 for five weeks straight, racking up 142.3 million hours of watch time and being fully viewed 21.6 million times. This success is great news for fans, suggesting the show may continue beyond its current story, especially considering the hint at future events in the season finale.
Netflix’s Alice in Borderland High Ranking Hints Its Return Is Imminent
The success of the latest season of Alice in Borderland and its ending strongly suggest the show will be back for more. The final scene featured earthquakes around the world, including in Los Angeles, and introduced a new character also named “Alice,” hinting at a larger, global story. This could mean we’ll see an American adaptation similar to Squid Game. Alternatively, the series might continue with the original characters, Arisu and Usagi, as the manga it’s based on is planning a new storyline.
Get ready for the next chapter of Alice in Borderland! The highly anticipated sequel to the popular manga and Netflix series is coming in Summer 2026. Arisu thought he’d left the deadly games behind and was starting a new life with a family, but Borderland has other plans. Written by Haro Aso, this new story is titled Alice in Borderland Retry.

Viz Media revealed that the manga series Alice in Borderland will continue in the summer of 2026, focusing on Arisu and Usagi as they get ready to welcome their child. The new manga, titled Alice in Borderland Retry, follows a similar storyline to the end of the latest Netflix season, suggesting a potential Season 4 rather than a separate American spin-off. These developments, along with the manga’s return, prove that Alice in Borderland is still Netflix’s most successful live-action manga adaptation, and more installments are likely on the way.
