Netflix’s hit Japanese sci-fi thriller series Alice in Borderland has ended with the third season. The news is coming more than a year after Netflix’s latest season was released. This show, which was compared with the Korean hit The Squid Game and gained immense global popularity, will not return for a fourth instalment. The series is hugely popular in India as well as abroad. However, Netflix hasn’t provided any details on why it won’t continue past the third episode.
Netflix has confirmed the conclusion of Alice in Borderland with the Season 3 episodes. A new report referred to these recent episodes as “the third and last season”. Fans were surprised that the streamer didn’t make a formal announcement about cancelling or give a reason why they ended the series. Netflix premiered the series, which is based on Haro Aso’s Japanese manga, in December 2020. The series follows the story of an intrepid group of teenagers forced to play deadly games on a desolate version of Tokyo. The show grew a large international audience who tuned in to watch the deadly challenges.

Netflix data showed that around 25,000,000 people watched the third season, which indicates that there was a high level of interest in the series until the end. The story is over despite these impressive numbers. Netflix did not explain its decision publicly, but fans believe that it was a natural conclusion to the story based on the source material. Media outlets such as The Independent reported that several social media users pointed out to The Independent how the live-action series covered most of the original manga’s arc, which ran between 2010 and 2016.
Some fans claimed that Season 3 was a shorter continuation of the story, as it only used limited new material. The manga story is over, so to continue the show, the creators would have had to create all new content. This may be a route they chose not take. Netflix hasn’t confirmed if the series was initially planned to be a 3-season show or if the plans have changed.

The third season also received mixed reviews compared with the previous two. Season 3 received a lower rating from Rotten Tomatoes than previous seasons, with a score of 63% for critics and 57% for the audience. Netflix and the creators of the show have not linked the conclusion of the series to the critical response. The platform’s official position is only that the third season marks the conclusion of the show, but without a reason.
Netflix has millions of members in 190 different countries who enjoy TV shows, documentaries and feature films, as well as mobile games, across many genres and languages. The service allows members to watch, pause, and continue watching at their leisure, wherever they are. They can also change plans or cancel them whenever they like.
