The manga series was adapted into an anime for the first time in 2015 and quickly become a fan favorite due to its simple and relatable characters especially the MC who looks like an ordinary bald guy, but is overpowered.

Two seasons have been aired so far and now, fans are looking for an upcoming third season that has been confirmed (like Zootopia sequel) but why is OPM Season 3 taking so long?

Of course, one reason is pandemic but what’s the other one? Production problems, most fans don’t want this season to be produced under JC Staff but by Madhouse.

Even though, the anime series was announced to be in development nine months ago, we aren’t expecting it to arrive before 2024 as the production of animation takes time. See, there was a gap of around four years in between the release of two OPM seasons.

Season 1 was released in Oct 2015 while the second season took nearly four years to arrive on Crunchyroll in April 2019. Following the same way, we are expecting One Punch Man season 3 to be released around October 2023 with twelve new episodes.

Saitama is still the mysterious character of the series and there is a lot to cover about him in the upcoming manga chapters. So, we are expecting to see a backstory of Saitama like how he gained such incredible strength and his hidden abilities.
