Vinland Saga Season 3: Renewed or Cancelled + Release Date Predictions
Vinland Saga season 3, when will it happen?
There are a few anime series that the fandom looks forward to every year, and Vinland Saga is part of that anticipation.
The story follows Young Thorfinn, who grew up listening to the stories of old sailors that had traveled the ocean and reached the place of legend, Vinland.
It is said to be warm and fertile, a place where there would be no need for fighting, not at all like the frozen village in Iceland where he was born, and certainly not like his current life as a mercenary.
Though his father once told him, “You have no enemies, nobody does. There is nobody who it is okay to hurt,” as he grew, Thorfinn knew that nothing was further from the truth.
The war between England and the Danes grows worse with each passing year. Death has become commonplace, and the Viking mercenaries are loving every moment of it.
Allying with either side will cause a massive swing in the balance of power, and the Vikings are happy to make names for themselves and take any spoils they earn along the way.
In the chaos, Thorfinn must take his revenge and kill Askeladd, the man who murdered his father.
The only paradise for the Vikings, it seems, is the era of war and death that rages on.
After the conclusion of season two, fans were wondering when studio MAPPA will renew for Vinland Saga Season 3.
To find the answer, keep scrolling as we bring you all the latest news and updates on Vinland Saga season 3.
Vinland Saga is rated 8.7/10 and ranked #90 with 1.2 million members on MyAnimeList.
WHAT IS THE VINLAND SAGA SEASON 3 RELEASE DATE?
Vinland Saga season one aired from 7th July 2019 to 29th December 2019 for 24 episodes. The series was renewed for a second season which aired from 10th January 2023 to 20th June 2023 for 24 episodes.
As of writing, there is no update from studio MAPPA on the renewal of Vinland Saga season 3.
| SEASON | RELEASE DATE |
| Vinland Saga Season 1 | 7th July 2019 |
| Vinland Saga Season 2 | 10th January 2023 |
| Vinland Saga Season 3 | Yet to be Announced |
Production studios consider various financial and commercial metrics before announcing a renewal.
Vinland Saga Season 2 was the top-rated anime of Winter 2023 and, like the first season, was well-received by the fandom.
However, fans are concerned with the renewal of Vinland Saga season 3 since the sequel took four years to release after the premiere season.
Of course, there are mitigating factors towards a late renewal, such as the pandemic and the change in studios.
Despite the popularity of the anime, a crucial point for renewal will be the availability of studio and source material.
Studio MAPPA is one of the biggest production houses, and with that status comes a hectic schedule.
Currently, the studio is busy with the third and final season of Attack on Titan, the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, and Hell’s Paradise Jigokuraku.
Hence, it’s clear that the studio is booked with other projects, and it’s highly unlikely that a renewal for Vinland Saga season 3 will come any time soon.
Nevertheless, the best fans can hope for is that studio MAPPA provides updates on Vinland Saga season 3 trailer and Vinland Saga season 3 release date by Winter 2024.
