It has been several years since the end of Assassination Classroom Season 2. Is there still a chance for a Season 3 extension?
Assassination Classroom is a unique anime that has built a loyal fanbase. The story revolves around a school class and their alien teacher, whom they must kill to save humanity from a catastrophic fate. The last season of the series was released in 2016. When can we expect Season 3?
Assassination Classroom: What’s the status of Season 3?
We remember: At the end of Season 2, the students of Class 9-E manage to kill their teacher, Koro-Sensei, thus preventing the destruction of the Earth. It’s a finale that seems to tie everything up nicely. Nevertheless, many fans are longing for a continuation.
Various rumors about a possible third season of Assassination Classroom are circulating online. Sometimes, a release date is even mentioned, but these details cannot be confirmed by any third parties. The creator of the manga, Yusei Matsui, stated back in 2016 in an interview that the story had come to a close. With the source material wrapped up, the series likely is too ( via watchinfinite).
It seems highly unlikely that Assassination Classroom will get a third season. No one from the responsible team has commented on the anime for years. The production studio Lerche has moved on to new projects, and there’s no indication from the manga creator for a return of the series.
However, for those wanting to see more of the anime’s heroes, there’s some good news. In April 2019, a new spin-off titled Koro Sensei Quest! was released, bringing back familiar faces from Assassination Classroom. The roughly two-hour special is available on DVD and Blu-ray, among other platforms, including Amazon.
