After an initial time of mourning following the conclusion of Season 2 of Classroom of the Elite, fans’ attention has shifted to the show’s future. With a third season announced and in the works, anime fans are likely thinking about the story’s potential directions, at least as laid out in the light novel by Shgo Kinugasa and Shunsaku Tomose on which the anime is based.
So far, the anime has stayed true to the tale presented in the novel, but we don’t know if that will remain the case or if the creators will look elsewhere for inspiration in the forthcoming seasons.
Classroom of the Elite Season 3 Release Date
The first season of Classroom of the Elite aired in 2017, while the second season was published in 2022 and completed on September 26, 2022, as previously announced. The two seasons are based on a light novel series of the same name based on the manga of the same name.
The anime’s official website announced the premiere date for Season 3 of Classroom of the Elite on Friday, November 24. On January 3rd, the anime will debut. First on AT-X, then TOKYO MX, Sun TV, KBS Kyoto, and finally TV Aichi will show the series.
What is the storyline of Classroom of the Elite?
The Japanese government created the school depicted in Classroom of the Elite to safeguard the country’s future; there, students are granted wide latitude in their daily activities. The series’ primary character is the bright youngster Kiyotaka Ayanokji. Even yet, he prefers to spend his time alone and avoids social situations if possible.
Because of his low intelligence, he will be sent to the D class, but meeting Suzune Horikita and Kiky Kushida would alter the course of his life forever. His desire to have a typical high school experience fades as he becomes active in numerous extracurricular activities.

Classroom of the Elite Season 3 Expected Plot
The pupils of Koudo Ikusei Senior High School will be presented with yet another duty in the upcoming third season of the anime. In contrast to prior seasons, when students were expected to work together, the promotional film implies that there is a possibility of students being placed in mixed-gender groups.
Ayanokouji may face off against Arisu Sakayanagi of Class A in the next season. She has played a significant role in the advertising. Beyond that, her knowledge of the White House might be pivotal to the storyline to come.
