If you are unfamiliar, the Evangelist is a woman who assembled a religious order whose objective is to fulfill her apocalyptic dream. It remains to be seen how closely Season 3 follows the manga. Given that Seasons 1 and 2 already covered Volumes 1 to 20 of the manga, Season 3 will likely conclude Fire Force since it could explore Volumes 21 to 34.
Release Date of Fire Force Season 3
In May 2022, the official website of FF announced that Season 3 is in development. After a year on May 2023, the show’s Japanese Twitter account confirmed the commencement of production of Season 3. Major factors like the pandemic and David Production’s busy schedule working on other shows, like Cells At Work!! and Strike Witches: Road To Berlin, may be the reason behind the lack of updates for Season 3. A past leak from anime insider Shueishaleaks claimed that Studio Shaft will replace David Production as the show’s main studio. Though there is no confirmation, this could also be the factor in Season 3’s long wait. Fire Force Season 3 is likely to be released sometime in 2024.
Season 1 and Season 2 of Fire Force are available to stream on Crunchyroll. Season 3 is also set to premiere on Crunchyroll in the US and other international territories.
