The finale delivers a massive cliffhanger that expands the scope of the entire series. After Arisu and Usagi’s ordeal, the real world is plunged into chaos by massive earthquakes and news reports of global tectonic shifts. In a stunning post-credits scene, the action shifts to an American diner, where a waitress named “Alice” is shown. This clever twist strongly suggests that the phenomenon of the Borderlands is not confined to Japan but is now a global crisis. An international version of the deadly games including new characters and difficulties is set in motion by this move, which is reminiscent of the approach taken by shows such as Squid Game.
Is Alice in Borderland Season 4 Confirmed?
As of now, Netflix has not officially greenlit a fourth season.
The creative team, however, is quite excited about carrying on with the plot. Director Shinsuke Sato told RadioTimes.com, “If you’re asking me whether I’d be interested or not, I would certainly say yes.” The cast is also actively brainstorming ideas, indicating a strong desire to return.
What Could Season 4 Be About?
The finale’s American diner scene is the clearest indicator that Season 4 could introduce an international cast of players. The story may follow “Alice” and other new characters from around the world as they are forced into their own version of the Borderlands. Arisu and Usagi would likely remain involved, perhaps as guides or veterans trying to understand and stop the global spread of the games.
Actress Tao Tsuchiya (Usagi) has even proposed a compelling familial storyline. “I have a premise where the child will find themselves in Borderland and the parents have to go in and save them,” she revealed. “The kids don’t understand the world at all but then the parents do… We’d love for our own life experiences that come with our age to be projected into the story.” She added, “I’m holding my hand out into the ether and hope one of the producers will be listening!”

Who Stars in Season 3?
The new season brings back the beloved lead duo, Kento Yamazaki as Arisu and Tao Tsuchiya as Usagi. They are joined by a returning ensemble cast including Hayato Isomura, Ayaka Miyoshi, and Katsuya Maiguma, among others. The season introduces new characters played by actors like Sakura Kiryu and Yugo Mikawa, who become pivotal to the new games and the evolving narrative.
The combination of a thrilling new season and a ambitious cliffhanger ensures that the conversation is no longer just about the games in Tokyo, but about a borderless battle for survival. The Joker card has truly been dealt on a global scale.
