My Happy Marriage season 3 release date speculation and latest news
Here's everything we know about the future of this romantic anime series!
The romantic anime drama My Happy Marriage just aired its season 2 finale, releasing episode 26 on 9th April. With that in mind, fans will certainly be wondering if the show will return for a third season.
Adapted from a series of light novels by writer Akumi Agitogi and artist Tsukiho Tsukioka, My Happy Marriage explores a slow-burn love story within an arranged marriage, taking place in a historical fantasy setting.
The story's lead character is a young woman named Miyo Saimori, whose abusive family force her into a betrothal with a military commander named Kiyoka Kudou. His fearsome reputation suggests that he won't make a good husband for Miyo, but as they spend more time together, we begin to realise that his reputation may be misleading.
Over the first two seasons, Miuo and Kiyoka have gradually grown closer, revealing secrets about their respective lives, and tackling a variety of supernatural threats.
So, with season 2 rearview mirror, can fans expect to see more of the show? Read on to learn everything we know about season 3 of My Happy Marriage.
Will there be a My Happy Marriage season 3?
My Happy Marriage will return for season 3.
The show's official accounts announced on 9th April that My Happy Marriage has been renewed. This announcement was accompanied by a brief teaser trailer in Japanese, featuring the show's two lead characters:
This update didn't include any further information about the upcoming third season, but fans of the original light novels will likely be able to guess some plot points.
At present, the My Happy Marriage book series is nine volumes long, and the story still isn't complete. So the anime series still has a lot more material left to adapt.
We'll update this article once we know more about season 3's plot and release details!
When could My Happy Marriage season 3 be released?
The earliest plausible release window for My Happy Marriage season 3 is summer 2027.
Although some anime series do manage to release one season per calendar year, that hasn't been the case for My Happy Marriage so far. The gap between the first two seasons was about 17 months long, with season 1 premiering in July 2023, and season 2 arriving in January 2025.
So if season 3 follows a similar creative timeline, we can expect it to arrive in mid to late 2027.
