When will the sequel to the anime “Fruits Basket Season 3” come out?

As we recall, the original source was released in 23 volumes, including 136 chapters. The first two seasons did not tell the story of the main characters in full. Do not forget that Natsuki Takaya became the author of 3 more manga, which she called “Fruits Basket another”, “Fruits Basket: The Three Musketeers” (in 2 parts). So is it really worth worrying about continuing the anime series?

Looking at the fact that the first two seasons came out with a break of exactly one year, season 3 of the anime “Fruits Basket” is expected in April 2021. But given the pandemic and other delays, the premiere of new episodes is likely to be slightly rescheduled.

p.s. Officially: The third and final season premieres on April 5, 2021.
