Based on the namesake light novel series written by Daisuke Aizawa and illustrated by Tōzai. The Eminence in Shadow is an isekai dark fantasy anime TV show. The plot revolves around Cid Kagenou, who was a boy named Minoru Kageno in modern-day Japan in his previous life. Holding on to his dreams of power from that life, Cid decides to put on a facade of mediocrity, while establishing himself as a powerful figure operating from the shadows in his new fantastical world.
Season 1 premiered on October 5, 2022, and Season 2 on October 4, 2023. If you are wondering whether there will be a third season of The Eminence in Shadow, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all the The Eminence in Shadow Season 3 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a The Eminence in Shadow Season 3 release date?
The Eminence in Shadow Season 3 does not have an official release date, but it will likely be announced in the future.
As of December 2023, The Eminence in Shadow hasn’t been officially greenlit for Season 3. Instead, an anime film was announced just as a second season drew to a close. Not much is known about the project except that its title is “The Eminence in Shadow – Lost Echoes.” Given that the second season covers about halfway into the fourth volume of the light novel series, it’s possible that the film can adapt the rest of volume 4 and beyond or it can be an original story.
Either way, there is enough material for future seasons of the anime TV show. The light novels series is currently ongoing and has six volumes. So, if Season 2 and the upcoming anime film replicate the success of the first season, Season 3 will certainly be a possibility.
The voice cast includes Seiichiro Yamashita as Cid Kagenou, Rina Hidaka as Claire Kagenou, Kana Hanazawa as Alexia Midgar, Haruka Shiraishi as Rose Oriana, Yui Horie as Akane Nishino, and more.
Where is The Eminence in Shadow Season 3 coming out?
The Eminence in Shadow Season 3 could come out on AT-X and other networks in Japan and Hidive in the US and other regions.
This is because previous seasons were made available on the networks mentioned above. ComingSoon will provide an update if and when Season 3 is officially greenlit.
The official synopsis for The Eminence in Shadow reads:
“Shadowbrokers are those who go unnoticed, posing as unremarkable people, when in truth, they control everything from behind the scenes. Sid wants to be someone just like that more than anything, and something as insignificant as boring reality isn’t going to get in his way! He trains in secret every single night, preparing for his eventual rise to power—only to denied his destiny by a run-of-the-mill (yet deadly) traffic accident. But when he wakes up in a another world and suddenly finds himself at the head of an actual secret organization doing battle with evil in the shadows, he’ll finally get a chance to act out all of his delusional fantasies!”
