Alice in Borderland Season 3: Cast and Release Date of the Series Based on a Manga - Netflix Tudum
Last time you saw Arisu and Usagi, they’d cleared every card’s game and returned to the real world. Things have been looking up — the pair are now married — though they’re often visited by flashbacks of the Borderland, the alternate game word they keep narrowly escaping. But one day, Usagi vanishes. She’s been kidnapped and taken back to the Borderland. Devastated Arisu has no choice but to head back there to face grave dangers and get his wife. The survival drama Alice in Borderland, adapted from Haro Aso’s manga, is back for Season 3. Directed by Shinsuke Sato, who likewise helmed the first two seasons, Season 3 stars Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya.

When he arrives, he’s faced with immediate dangers — fiery arrows, electric currents — and finds out that only one game card remains: the Joker.
