Fire Force is certainly one of the hottest anime properties around - see what we did there? - so fans have been eager to find out when we’d be getting more. The second season ended back in 2020, so it has been a long wait to see what happens next. Finally, we’re about to get our wish as Fire Force season three has been confirmed and is coming in less than a year.

As part of its Anime Expo 2024 panel, Crunchyroll announced that it will be streaming the third (and final) season of Fire Force, which has a release date of April 2025. Just like the previous two seasons, Fire Force season three will run for two cours of around 12 episodes each. However, the full season won’t run in one go. The first part will be out in April 2025 while the second half of the final season won’t air until January 2026.

In addition to the release date announcement, Crunchyroll also released a trailer for the new season of Fire Force. It showcases some of the big action moments we can expect to see when it returns to our screens in April 2025. We see the White Clad, who has been manipulating everything behind the scenes since the start of the series, along with some pretty impressive visuals for a TV anime.

Fire Force season three will run in two parts – the first airing in April 2025 and the second airing in January 2026. It will be the final season of the hugely popular anime and will stream on Crunchyroll.

Here's our guide to every anime coming to Crunchyroll, Netflix and other streaming platforms during the Summer 2024 anime season.
