The series follows a nameless warrior who has the sole mission of destroying all goblins. Along the way, he meets a group of friends, all taking traits from core fantasy archetypes, who become a dynamic hunting team as things get more intense.
With season 2 having just finally returned to our screens in early October, fans are already desperate to know if we'll be getting a third season of the iconic monster hunting show.
Read on to learn everything we know about Goblin Slayer season 3, including potential release dates, trailers and cast.

Will there be a Goblin Slayer season 3?

As of writing, there is currently no official announcement of a third season of Goblin Slayer, but we'll keep this page updated as soon as new updates are revealed.

It's possible that Goblin Slayer season 3 could be revealed at the end of the second season, with the season finale set to premiere22nd December 2023, so keep a close eye on any announcements around that time.

When could Goblin Slayer season 3 be released?

Goblin Slayer season 2's initial announcement was made during GA FES 2023, with new visuals and a teaser trailer being released at the same time.

The gap between Goblin Slayer season 1 and season 2 was quite extensive - the first season premiered on 7th October 2018, while the second season only just premiered on 6th October 2023, a whole five years after the first season.

Some fans are worried that due to the considerable gap between seasons, the popularity for the show may have waned just through the lack of awareness from the show's resting period.

However, it's entirely possible that new studio Liden Films has thought about this beforehand, and there's a good chance that a Goblin Slayer season 3 announcement may be planned for just after the second season ends - to reassure fans that more is on the way.
