🌟[OSHI NO KO] Season 3: Lies, Fame, and the Price of Stardom | Coming January 2026 on Crunchyroll

✨ “In the world of showbiz, lies are weapons.”

The dazzling yet dark world of [Oshi no Ko] returns in Season 3, premiering January 2026 on Crunchyroll. As the curtain rises once again on Ruby, Aqua, and the members of B-Komachi, the story takes a deeper, more emotional turn — exploring fame, identity, and the painful truth behind the glittering lights of the entertainment industry.

🎭 A Quick Recap: Where We Left Off

The end of Season 2 left fans reeling. Aqua and Ruby, twins born from tragedy, continued to chase the ghost of their mother, Ai Hoshino, the pop idol whose murder shattered their childhoods.

Aqua, still driven by revenge, infiltrated the entertainment world to expose the man responsible for Ai’s death — their biological father, Hikaru Kamiki. Meanwhile, Ruby’s rise as an idol mirrored Ai’s own path, but her growing obsession with uncovering the truth began to consume her.

“Lies are the seeds of dreams,” Aqua once said — and in Season 2, those lies grew into a tangled forest of deceit, fame, and heartbreak. The twins’ once unbreakable bond began to fracture under the weight of secrets, ambition, and vengeance.

💫 What Awaits in Season 3: Ruby’s Spotlight

It’s been six months since “POP IN 2.” Thanks to MEM-Cho’s tireless efforts, B-Komachi is finally on the verge of their big break. Aqua has become a rising multi-talented actor, and Akane’s career as a serious actress continues to soar. But all isn’t as bright behind the scenes — Kana, once full of cheer, has lost her spark, weighed down by the shifting tides of fame.

And then there’s Ruby — determined, radiant, and quietly haunted. Season 3 places her front and center as she climbs the entertainment ladder, all while digging deeper into the truth behind Ai and Goro’s deaths.

Ruby’s new journey leads her into the world of variety shows, beginning with “Dig Deep! One Chance!!” — a symbolic title that mirrors her own internal quest for answers. As the teaser visual shows her standing alone beneath the blinding studio lights, it’s clear this season will push Ruby to her emotional limits.

🕯️ The Lies Behind the Lights

Director Daisuke Hiramaki returns alongside writer Jin Tanaka and studio Doga Kobo, promising a season that blends the haunting mystery of Ai’s past with the raw emotional intensity that made Oshi no Ko a modern classic.

While Aqua’s pursuit of vengeance continues, Season 3 focuses more on Ruby’s emotional growth — and her slow, painful realization that the path to truth may cost her everything she’s built.

💔 “To shine brighter than anyone, you must first walk through the darkest shadow.”

Expect this season to dive into the duality of fame, the burden of legacy, and the price of chasing dreams built on lies.

🎤 B-Komachi Live Tour 2026

Beyond the anime’s return, Oshi no Ko will expand into the real world with its first virtual live concert, B-Komachi Live Tour 2026 - Beyond the Brilliance Virtual Live. The tour will begin in April 2026, with performances scheduled across Aichi, Osaka, and Tokyo, offering fans the chance to experience the group’s music in an immersive virtual format.

🌹 Final Thoughts: The Stage is Set

With over 20 million copies of the manga in circulation and two acclaimed anime seasons behind it, Oshi no Ko has proven it’s more than a story about idols — it’s a mirror reflecting the cost of performance, the loneliness behind every smile, and the courage it takes to face the truth.

Season 3 promises to be a raw, emotional showdown — Ruby’s ascent, Aqua’s descent, and the haunting echo of Ai’s stardom still lighting the stage.
