The wait is over: the first full trailer for Oshi no Ko Season 3 has arrived—along with a firm January 14, 2026 premiere date and a fresh key visual teasing a glossier, darker turn for Aqua, Ruby, and the industry orbiting them. The new video also reveals the ending theme “Serenade” by Natori, setting a moody tone for the next arc.
What’s officially confirmed
- Premiere date: January 14, 2026 (JST).
- Streaming: The series will stream on Crunchyroll.
- Music: Trailer spotlights the ending song “Serenade” by Natori.
- New key visual: A sleek poster underscores the show’s rising-star vs. shadowy-truths dynamic.
Where the story picks up
Season 3’s synopsis hints that it’s been six months since “POP IN 2”, with B-Komachi on the cusp of a true breakout thanks to MEM-Cho’s hustle. Aqua continues stacking credits across acting and variety while Akane’s career stays hot; meanwhile Kana is struggling to reclaim her spark. At the core, Ruby’s ascent looks increasingly intertwined with the search for the truth behind Ai and Gorō’s deaths—a thread the new footage clearly pulls tighter.
Why the trailer has fans buzzing
The PV leans into the series’ signature contrast—neon idol glitter cut with noir-ish intrigue. Quick cuts suggest:
- Bigger stages and televised opportunities for B-Komachi
- A renewed spotlight on Aqua and Akane’s careers (and tensions)
- Visual cues pointing to the next phase of Aqua and Ruby’s investigations
Expect sharper industry politics, higher production values from Doga Kobo, and a season calibrated for momentum.
The platform shuffle matters
After earlier seasons were associated with HIDIVE, Season 3’s marketing confirms a Crunchyroll simulcast—expanding day-one reach and likely fueling faster global discourse as the mystery deepens.
