by The critically acclaimed anime BEASTARS is approaching its powerful conclusion. It has officially been announced that “BEASTARS FINAL SEASON” Part 2 — the final installment of the series — will stream exclusively on Netflix starting March 7, 2026. Along with the announcement, a striking main visual has been unveiled, hinting at an intense and emotional climax.
Fans worldwide have been eagerly waiting to see how the story of Legoshi, Louis, and Haru will end — and this final chapter promises to deliver the long-awaited resolution.
A Global Hit Based on an Award-Winning Manga
“BEASTARS” is adapted from the manga by Paru Itagaki, one of the most celebrated creators in modern Japanese comics. The series has received numerous prestigious awards and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide, cementing its status as a modern classic.
Set in a society where carnivores and herbivores coexist, the story explores deep themes such as:
- Instinct vs. morality
- Prejudice and discrimination
- Identity and personal growth
- Love across social divides
- The meaning of strength
Unlike typical action-focused anime, BEASTARS is an ensemble drama driven by psychological tension and character development.
Studio Orange’s Revolutionary CGI Animation
The anime adaptation, produced by Studio Orange, first aired in 2019 and quickly gained international praise. Known for cutting-edge 3DCG animation, the studio created a unique visual style that blends realism with expressive character acting.
Highlights of the production include:
- Highly detailed fur and lighting effects
- Natural character movements and facial expressions
- Cinematic camera work
- Seamless integration of action and drama
The series proved that full-CG anime can be both emotionally compelling and visually stunning.
FINAL SEASON: A Story Split Into Two Parts
The final arc of BEASTARS has been divided into two parts to fully adapt the manga’s concluding storyline.
- Part 1: Released December 5, 2024
- Part 2: Premieres March 7, 2026 (Netflix exclusive)
Part 1 introduced darker political themes and the terrifying hybrid criminal Melon. Part 2 will bring the conflict to its ultimate resolution.
Legoshi’s Final Trial
In the final season, Legoshi accepts his identity as a carnivore and vows to become stronger — not only for himself but for Haru, the rabbit he loves.
His past at Cherryton Academy, his connection to the underground black market, and the growing tension between species all converge into one decisive struggle.
The central question remains:
Can Legoshi protect what matters most without losing himself to his instincts?
Main Visual Teases an Epic Showdown
The newly released visual features several key characters poised for the final confrontation:
- Legoshi — determined to protect Haru and his ideals
- Louis — confronting his past and responsibilities
- Melon — the violent antagonist representing chaos between species
- Oguma — Louis’s father and influential figure
- Political leaders and other major characters
Their expressions convey resolve, tension, and uncertainty — signaling that the ending will not be simple or predictable.
Why BEASTARS Stands Out
BEASTARS has remained popular because it offers something rare in anime:
✔ Complex moral questions rather than clear heroes and villains
✔ Mature storytelling appealing to older audiences
✔ Strong character relationships
✔ Social commentary on prejudice and coexistence
✔ Unique anthropomorphic worldbuilding
The series resonates with viewers who enjoy character-driven drama as much as action.
