Though live-action adaptations, especially of manga and anime, have had a bad reputation, the last few years have seen some great installments. Netflix‘s One Piece live-action is considered the project that broke the curse of anime adaptations turning into disasters. However, it isn’t only One Piece that has been in the spotlight for its breakthrough, but another renowned manga has also received a successful live-action adaptation. Alice in Borderlandfeaturing the adventurous and thrilling journey of Arisu and Usagi in an apocalyptic world, first premiered in 2020.
Its latest installment, the third season, was recently released on September 25th and is now available to stream on the platform, focusing on Arisu and Usagi’s return to the Borderland in a new set of games. The series’ return was highly anticipated, and according to a report by FlixPatrol, Alice in Borderland is currently the No. 1 TV show on Netflix worldwide. With a twist that left fans intrigued, questions about what comes after this season naturally follow. While Netflix has yet to confirm anything, a pattern has emerged, making it very possible that the series will return.
Netflix’s Alice in Borderland Likely to Follow Squid Game‘s Path
The latest season of Alice in Borderland ended with Arisu and Usagi returning to the real world after their journey in the Borderland. However, what stood out was the intriguing finale, where earthquakes began occurring across the globe, including in Los Angeles. The season closed with a scene in a Los Angeles bar, where a waitress named Alice is shown taking orders. While nothing has been confirmed yet about what’s next for Alice in Borderland on Netflix, it is evident that the franchise will return, and this scene strongly suggests a spin-off set in Los Angeles rather than Tokyo.
This mirrors the approach of Netflix’s other highly anticipated series, Squid Gamewhich ended its third season with a tease involving developments in the United States, setting up a potential spin-off. In the same way, Alice in Borderland appears ready to follow this pattern, with the next installment focusing on a new protagonist actually named “Alice.” This raises the intriguing question of whether fan-favorite characters will return. Unlike Squid Game’s main cast, Arisu and Usagi are still alive, leaving the possibility of their return open. However, with the next chapter seemingly being an American spin-off rather than a direct continuation, their reappearance remains uncertain. Still, fans can rest assured that there is strong hope for Alice in Borderland’s return.
