When does Link Click Season 3 premiere? Season 3 Part 1 starts August 14, 2026 on bilibili — Bridon Arc specials are not this cour.
Current target date: Friday, August 14, 2026 (Season 3 Part 1). We update this page when studios or publishers move the window.
Link Click Season 3 Part 1 premieres August 14, 2026 on bilibili (Crunchyroll internationally where licensed). Bridon Arc (2024–25) was a separate six-episode special run; Part 2 of Season 3 remains a later cour.
Season 3 Part 1
Friday, August 14, 2026
August 14, 2026 is the locked Part 1 night — not a vague Summer window
Link Click Season 3 Part 1 begins Friday, August 14, 2026 on bilibili, with the June 20, 2026 trailer/visual drop confirming the day. If a tracker still says “Summer 2026 TBA,” re-anchor to August 14.
Bridon Arc already aired — do not search it as Season 3
The Bridon Arc specials (late 2024 into January 2025) filled the gap after Season 2 with a focused six-episode side run. Season 3 is the next mainline chapter for Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang. Mixing Bridon’s old dates into this countdown is the fastest way to a wrong calendar.
How the Time Photo Studio seasons lined up
- Season 1 — Apr 30–Jul 9, 2021 (bilibili; includes special 5.5).
- Season 2 — Jul 14–Sep 22, 2023.
- Bridon Arc specials — Dec 27, 2024–Jan 31, 2025.
- Season 3 Part 1 — Aug 14, 2026 (this page).
- Season 3 Part 2 — later cour; not dated here.
Calling August 14 “the end of Season 3” skips the split-cour plan
The marketing labels this return Season 3 Part 1. That means the August 14 premiere opens the next mystery block — it does not automatically finish every dangling timeline thread in one cour. Mark Part 1 for mid-August; leave Part 2 on a separate undated shelf until bilibili stamps it.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does Link Click Season 3 premiere?
Friday, August 14, 2026 — Season 3 Part 1 starts on bilibili in China that day. Crunchyroll is carrying the international simulcast lane for territories it licenses.
2Is August 14 the whole season or just Part 1?
Part 1. Trailers/visuals frame Season 3 as a split return; Part 2 is a later cour (commonly floated for 2027) and is not dated on this page. Do not treat August 14 as the Part 2 clock.
3Is Bridon Arc the same as Season 3?
No. Link Click: Bridon Arc was a six-episode special run (Dec 27, 2024–Jan 31, 2025). Season 3 is the next mainline cour after Season 2 — rewatch Bridon for continuity, not as a substitute premiere.
4Who is behind Season 3?
Same Time Photo Studio pipeline: the series comes from Li Haoling / Haoliners’ Link Click crew with Studio LAN on earlier seasons. Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang’s photo-entry cases continue from that donghua line.
