After six incredible rounds, humanity and the gods are tied at 3 wins apiece. With seven more pulsating fights to go, we fully expect Record of Ragnarok to return for a third season on Netflix sometime in the near future.
Record of Ragnarok is a Netflix Original fantasy-action anime series and an adaptation of the manga publication of the same name by authors Shinya Umeura and Takumi Fukui. The series was formerly produced by Graphinica, who worked on anime such as Hellsing, Wonder Momo, and Another World, before being moved to the Yumeta Company.
When the gods decide to end the existence of mankind, the Valkyrie Brunhilda convinces the pantheon to give humanity one last chance and to hold the tournament Ragnarok. In order to survive, humanity must win 7 out of the 13 fights against the gods. To give humanity an even greater chance, the valkyries risk their own lives and bond their souls to the humans, giving them a powerful tailored weapon capable of killing gods.
When is Record of Ragnarok season 3 coming to Netflix?
Netflix has yet to officially announce if a third season of Record of Ragnarok is happening. However, when you consider that there are seven remaining rounds, that’s at least two more seasons we would expect to see.
