Dandadan has been one of the world’s biggest anime ever since its 2024 debut, and according to one of the series’ biggest stars, that’s only going to continue with the series’ upcoming third season. While fans may speculate that Dandadan season 3 is coming in 2027, no official word has been given on when fans can expect the anime’s return.
While fans wait for more details on season 3 to emerge, the series’ cast is getting hyped.
At Anime Pasadena 2025, ScreenRant spoke to Momo’s English dub actress, Abby Trott, to ask her about what she’s most excited to see when season 3 eventually launches. While Trott didn’t want to spoil things for fans unfamiliar with the manga, she did tease that she was most excited for fans to meet new characters.
I’m excited for the new characters and how they shake up the group dynamic. Every time someone new joins, it changes the chemistry — like when Aira joined, things shifted.
I can’t say much, but I think fans are going to love what’s coming next.
Dandadan’s Star Teases New Characters That Will Change The Series’ Central Dynamic

Part of Dandadan’s appeal beyond its crude and absurd nature is its expansive cast of characters. While the series starts out as just being about Momo and Okarun, the series’ main group of heroes grows to encompass oddballs such as the vain Aira (as Trott herself mentioned) and Momo’s childhood friend Jiji.
More recently, in season 2, fans got to meet Dandadan’s most divisive hero, Kinta.
As Trott points out, each new cast member brings something fresh to the series’ central group, adding a new perspective and set of skills to aid the core group in their fight against the paranormal.
While anime fans probably don’t want spoilers on who will join the main cast in season 3, it’s safe to say that Trott’s tease should be more than enough to get fans hyped for the fresh faces.
Fans Still Don’t Know a Ton About Dandadan Season 3

Dandadan has been incredibly successful for animation studio Science SARU, easily becoming their biggest anime series. Given that they’ve tackled heavy hitters like Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and the critically acclaimed Devilman Crybaby, that’s no small achievement.
While fans and cast members might be excited for more Dandadan, there’s a good reason it’s unclear when the series will return for its third season. Science SARU is blowing up, partially due to Dandadan’s success, leading them to tackle a wide variety of big projects.
In addition to Dandadan season 3, Science SARU is also tackling a new Ghost in the Shell anime and just started releasing an adaptation of Paru Itagaki’s Sanda.
Still, given the unprecedented success of Dandadan on platforms like Netflix and Crunchyroll, there’s little doubt the fan-favorite series is a high priority for Science SARU. There’s no doubt that when Dandadan season 3 does drop, it will be an event to remember.
