‘Berserk Season 3’ is the highly anticipated sequel of one of the best animes out there. The anime is based on the Japanese manga series written and illustrated by the late Kentaro Miura. More than 50 million copies of the manga have been sold, making it one of the best works in manga history.
Set in medieval Europe, the anime was a sequel to the Golden Age Arc film trilogy. It follows the life of Guts, who is a mercenary, also known as ‘The Black Swordsman’. Things changed dramatically for him after joining the mercenary group, known as ‘Band of the Hawk’, led by Griffith. Berserk is based on a similar genre of anime like ‘Goblin Slayer’.
Here’s everything you need to know about Berserk Season 3.

Berserk’s manga artist, Kentaro Miura sadly passed away in 2021, bringing the production of the anime series to a halt. Kentaro’s friends, and fellow manga artists, Hakusensha and Kouji Mori announced that Berserk would continue publication.
