After years of silence and countless fan theories, One Punch Man is officially returning — and yes, it’s about to hit harder than ever.
The long-awaited Season 3 of the hit anime finally has a release date, streaming details, and a clear direction for what’s next in Saitama’s ridiculously overpowered journey.
🎬 Release Date & Studio
Mark your calendars: One Punch Man Season 3 officially premieres in October 2025 — with the Japanese broadcast beginning on October 5, and international streaming (including the U.S.) rolling out around October 12.
The new season is being produced by J.C. Staff, the same studio that handled Season 2, rather than the first season’s legendary animation house, Madhouse. Fans have mixed feelings about that, but there’s cautious optimism that this time, J.C. Staff is upping its game.
📺 Where to Watch in the U.S.
For viewers in the United States, One Punch Man Season 3 will stream exclusively on Hulu.
In Canada, the series will be available on Disney+, while Crunchyroll will distribute the show in Europe, the Middle East, and other global territories.
Basically — wherever you are, chances are you’ll be able to catch Saitama punching monsters into oblivion in HD.
🧠 Plot: What to Expect This Season
Season 3 will dive deep into the Monster Association Arc — one of the most intense and beloved chapters of the manga.
This arc ramps up the chaos as heroes from the Hero Association go head-to-head against the monstrous villains of the Monster Association, setting the stage for massive battles and moral conflicts.
Central to it all is Garou, the “Hero Hunter,” whose complex evolution from villain to anti-hero is expected to dominate much of the story.
Expect darker themes, emotional twists, and fight sequences that test even Saitama’s legendary boredom with battle.
If Season 1 was comedy and Season 2 was setup — Season 3 is full-blown war.
