The Apothecary Diaries has quietly become one of the most critically admired anime series of recent years. What started as a slow-burning historical mystery evolved into a character-driven drama that balances intellect, politics, and emotional depth. Now, with The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 officially renewed, fans finally have clarity on what comes next—and when.
Season 3 will continue Maomao’s journey in a split format, with the story unfolding across two parts. This decision reflects both the scale of the upcoming arcs and the anime’s growing importance within the industry.
The anime has been officially renewed for a third season, with the announcement made alongside confirmation of an original anime film. Season 3 is scheduled to premiere in October 2026, marking the next major phase of the story and signaling the studio’s long-term commitment to the series.
Unlike earlier installments, Season 3 will be released in a two-part format, allowing the narrative to unfold at a measured pace. The first part will air in October 2026, followed by the second part in April 2027. In addition, an original theatrical anime film has been confirmed, featuring an all-new story written by original author Natsu Hyuuga and scheduled for a December 2026 release, expanding the franchise beyond its television run.
