The Apothecary Diaries’ Fall Visual Sparks Curiosity for Season 3
In The Apothecary Diaries season 2 finale, Jinshi and Maomao are seen peacefully searching for fresh persimmons, reminding fans of the anime’s upcoming sequel. Although there is no official release date for season 3, it is speculated to premiere in either the Spring or Summer 2026 anime season, likely in April or July.
Season 1 was announced in February 2023 and aired from October 2023 to March 2024. Season 2 followed shortly, being announced immediately after and airing from January to July 2025. With a consistent gap of about nine months or three seasons between announcements and releases, season 3 is expected to follow a similar timeline, aiming for a spring 2026 release.
The Apothecary Diaries season 3 is expected to adapt volume 5 of the light novel and likely conclude with volume 6, as it might be another two-cour season.
This season will kick off with significant political shifts, with Jinshi dropping his pretense and Gyokuyou giving birth to a son, officially making her the empress. Meanwhile, Maomao will discover a potential insect plague and, true to her nature, become entangled in yet another mystery.
