Rilakkuma: Season 3 is titled “Kimama ni Manpuku Biyori”
San-X is releasing a third PV and a new key visual for the continuation at the same time.
The TV anime Rilakkuma is getting a third season titled “Kimama ni Manpuku Biyori.” San-X confirms the continuation after episode 24 and publishes a third PV along with a new key visual. The announcement does not yet name a concrete start date for the new season.
New PV shows Rilakkuma's everyday life
The third PV shows more everyday scenes with Rilakkuma and his friends. The narration is again handled by Lilas Ikuta, who also sings the title song “stay with me.” The video was published through the series' official channels.
This video will only connect to YouTube once you play it.
The ongoing anime production started on April 4, 2026 on TBS and is animated by Production I.G. In Japan, the series airs Saturdays at 9 a.m. San-X also lists several Japanese streaming services as well as time-limited free viewing options, including Amazon Prime Video, dAnime Store, Hulu and U-NEXT.
Production I.G has most recently been represented on aninew.de with, among other things, the limited series “Star Wars: The Ninth Jedi”.
Continuation without a confirmed German release date
The new key visual shows Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma, Kiiroitori and Chairoikoguma against an autumnal backdrop. With the title “Kimama ni Manpuku Biyori,” the production continues the existing season structure. However, the official announcement names neither an exact broadcast date for season 3 nor separate licensing for Germany.
Production I.G is responsible for the TV production. The official production site lists Masamitsu Itazu as director for the first half and Yumi Kamakura for the second half; the character design comes from Chiyo Morita. San-X is credited as the original creator of the characters. For the third season, what remains open for now is mainly when the new episodes begin and whether they will be available outside Japan in a timely manner.
