On July 4, 2024, Netflix announced exciting news for fans eagerly awaiting the final season of Beastars. It is scheduled to release in December 2024;
This season will feature the first part, with a release date for the second part yet to be revealed. The announcement comes with a stunning new key visual, featuring Legoshi along with two new key characters.
The image depicts Legoshi situated between two separate landscapes: one filled with urban buildings representing the society ahead, and the other filled with butcher stalls, representing the black market.
This contrast hints at the theme of social division explored in the film.
What's particularly interesting are the two new characters introduced in the image: Yahya, a retired Sublime Beastar who will serve as the villain, and Gosha, Legoshi's grandfather and Leano's father.
Both characters will play important roles in the final season, significantly impacting the story's progression.
The final season of Beastars will adapt major storylines from the manga, including the Interspecies Relations Plot and elements from the Love's Revenge Plot.
Due to the split adaptation format and the need to manage the source material, the first season will focus primarily on the Interspecies Relations arc, although it is expected to touch on elements from the sequel as well.
Beastars fans can look forward to a compelling continuation of the story, exploring complex themes of identity, relationships, and social norms through a unique blend of humanoid characters and immersive storytelling.
As the series draws to a close, the introduction of new characters and the adaptation of key plot points promise a compelling and emotional conclusion to Legoshi's journey.
