Season 3 Part 2 premiere
Thursday, April 1, 2027
April 2027 is the Season 3 return — the season already started in fall
If you only care about “when does it come back after the break,” this is your page: Season 3 Part 2 is dated April 2027. Part 1 will already have aired from October 2026. Showing up in April expecting episode 1 of a brand-new season is the wrong mental model.
Calling it Season 4 in search will send you to the wrong tracker
Split-cour shows spawn “Season 4 when?” threads the moment Part 1 ends. Official language still says Season 3’s second cours. Use this Part 2 slug for April 2027; keep Season 3 Part 1 for the October open; keep the movie page for December theaters.
The winter gap on a single franchise calendar
- October 2026 — Season 3 Part 1 TV premiere window.
- December 11, 2026 — original film opens in Japan (separate page).
- April 2027 — Season 3 Part 2 TV return (this page).
- Exact Friday night — TBA until Nippon TV locks the spring slot.
April 1 on this countdown is a working stamp — not a promise of day-one spring broadcast
Month-level anime announcements often get stored as the first of the month until a network prints the real Friday. April 2027 is confirmed; April 1 is the placeholder this site uses until the Friday Anime Night listing appears. Re-check closer to spring before setting a hard alarm.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 Part 2 air?
April 2027 for the second cour. That month is the official TOHO window; treat early April (including this page’s April 1 working stamp) as provisional until Nippon TV prints the exact Friday Anime Night debut.
2Is Part 2 actually Season 4?
No. Marketing and the anniversary trailer keep both halves under Season 3. Part 2 is the spring continuation after the October 2026 cour — not a new season number.
3What happens between Part 1 and Part 2?
On the calendar: Part 1 runs from October 2026, the original theatrical film opens December 11, 2026 in Japan, then Part 2 returns April 2027. The film is a side theatrical story; Part 2 resumes the TV season.
4Will Part 2 still be on Crunchyroll?
Season 1–2 simulcast history and the Part 1 slate point that way, but the Part 2 night is only as firm as the April 2027 Japan window until the platform reprints the season page. Watch for the same Friday-night follow pattern once the slot locks.
