Season 2 emphasizes Face Cards, such as the King of Spades, King of Clubs, Queen of Diamonds and more. Collecting these cards still comes with a deadly cost, but these games are much more intense than those in the previous season as the players enter the Second Stage.

Will the battered gamers return back home to the ‘real world’?

Fans will have to wait for season three to find out – but will there be one? Here’s everything we know about Alice in Borderland season three.

Also, this brings a lovely (albeit dark) meaning to why the heart card challenges were so brutal. In the real world, these players barely survived a natural disaster and their hearts stopped. The heart challenges were asking them if – despite all the loss they witnessed – could they live with that knowledge. That is unequivocally the heart of this series: How do we continue through loss?

While it’s debatable, I like to think that those who died in the games (especially the heart games) had already died in the real world. We were just witnessing a reimagining of their final moments through the eyes of those who were there to experience it and find a way through the cruelty of grief.

While there have been rumours about season three being in the works, there has been no official line just yet as to whether or not Alice in Borderland has been picked up for another season. Naturally we remain hopeful because there is a lot more story left to unpack.

Fans had to patiently wait just over two years for season two to follow the first, with both seasons receiving a December release date. However, that does not necessarily mean we should mark our calendars for Christmas 2024.

But the hardest caveat to this reveal is what it meant for the characters’ relationships: When they returned to life, none of them really remembered each other. There’s the sucker punch that had some fans (understandably) feeling angry about how the Shinsuke Sato-directed series chose to close its second season.

Being Netflix’s most-watched Japanese television series ever, it’s understandable that fans are expecting and rooting for more battles to come. But is this a likelihood? And, if so, what would this mean for the series’ overall arc?

As it stands, Alice in Borderland neatly wraps up the questions and character arcs that started in its debut season. We know what the Borderlands is, who goes there, and what it takes to escape the realm. Our fan-favorite players miraculously all lived – despite the tease that only Arisu would survive it all.

Still, there’s one part of the season 2 finale that could lead the series in a new direction – either adapting another of Aso’s works or deviating from the source material to establish a round of games with new players and challenges.
