The Apothecary Diaries returns next year for season 3 and a surprise movie release after Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer’s anime box office success
The Apothecary Diaries is officially returning for a third season and, surprisingly, a new theatrical movie.
As revealed during a ‘Second Anniversary’ stream (H/T Anime News Network), the first part of The Apothecary Diaries season 3 will launch in October 2026. The second part – or cour, in anime-speak – is arriving in April 2027 as part of that year’s spring slate.
Unlike Vinland Saga season 3 (which is still yet to be announced, despite two critically acclaimed seasons), Apothecary Diaries has a clear – and exciting – future ahead of it. The move to theatrical may raise eyebrows but thanks to Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’s record-breaking cinematic run and Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc about to shred its way into cinemas, it appears theaters are the new port of call for anime fans.
