The Burning Question: Will There Be a Radiant season 3?

The first season of the anime, which ran for 21 episodes, gave viewers an introduction to Seth's world, his allies, and the mysteries surrounding Radiant. The second season, which aired in October 2019, continued the adventure, delving deeper into the lore and character development. While viewers await word on Radiant season 3, the following possibilities can be taken into account for speculation.

There's a chance the anime will boldly deviate from the original work. It might surprise fans while preserving the spirit of the Radiant universe by developing an original plot. Alternately, the anime could make filler episodes out of the scant content that has been published since October 2019. These episodes might go into side stories, character backstories, or universe-building beyond what the manga offers.

But making such a change carries a risk as it might upset manga fans and break the flow of the narrative. Additionally, there have been no formal announcements from the anime studio Lerche regarding the renewal or cancellation of the series. Thus, it's still unclear what will become of Radiant season 3.

Patience is probably the most likely situation when waiting for the volumes to release. Lerche might hold off on adapting until there's more manga. Radiant season 3 can draw from new material as long as Japanese manga and French comics continue.

There are only 17 volumes of the manga, of which 13 have been covered by the anime. The manga releases only one volume a year, so it moves at a very slow pace. In other words, gathering enough content for a third season will take at least another two years. If everything goes as anticipated, Radiant season 3 might appear on our screens in late 2024 or early 2025.


About Radiant anime

Radiant started out as Tony Valente's french comic book, or Manfra. What sets it apart is its unique position as a french work published in Japan, bridging the gap between western and eastern storytelling traditions. Produced by Lerche, the anime adaptation debuted in October 2018 and attracted a devoted fan base quite swiftly.

In the fantastical world of Radiant, humans are in danger from Nemeses. Survivors of Nemesis attacks gain a curse and the ability to wield magic called Fantasia.
