A screening event of the Bungou Stray Dog: Dead Apple anime film at the Marunouchi Piccadilly theater in Tokyo on Saturday announced that a third season of the franchise is in production.

Bungou Stray Dogs adapts Kafka Asagiri and Harukawa35's supernatural action manga of the same title, which has been serialized in Young Ace magazine since December 2012. Kadokawa published the 15th compiled volume on June 4.

Produced by animation studio Bones, the first season aired in Spring 2016, followed by a second cours in Fall that year, each running for 12 episodes. An OVA was bundled with the 13th manga volume last August. The Bungou Stray Dog: Dead Apple anime film opened in Japan on March 3. Crunchyroll screened the film in the United States and Canadian theaters in May.

Yen Press licensed the manga in English and published the seventh volume on June 26. Crunchyroll and Funimation licensed the anime series for North American distribution and released the first season on Blu-ray and DVD with an English dub on March 6. The second season is scheduled to be released on September 4.
