Netflix's deadly survival thriller Alice in Borderland has three seasons, and knowing how they connect helps make sense of its twisty games.
Gamer Ryohei Arisu and his friends suddenly find themselves in an empty Tokyo, where they must compete in deadly games to earn visas that keep them alive. Teaming up with climber Yuzuha Usagi, Arisu sets out to uncover who runs the games and how to escape. Based on Haro Aso's manga and directed by Shinsuke Sato, the series became one of Netflix's most-watched Japanese originals.
๐ Release Order
Release order covers all three seasons of the live-action series.
- Alice in Borderland Season 1 (2020)
- Alice in Borderland Season 2 (2022)
- Alice in Borderland Season 3 (2025)
Seasons 1 and 2 adapt the original manga's story, from the playing card games to the face cards. Season 3 goes beyond the manga's main arc with a new chapter for Arisu and Usagi.
๐ Story Chronology
The story is told in a straight line, so chronological order is the same as release order.
- Alice in Borderland Season 1 (2020)
- Alice in Borderland Season 2 (2022)
- Alice in Borderland Season 3 (2025)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Start at Season 1 and watch straight through. Each season ends on major revelations that the next one builds on, and Season 3 relies heavily on the ending of Season 2. If you enjoy the show, the original manga and its spin-off stories offer even more games and characters to explore. Be warned that the show is violent and intense, so it is best suited to mature viewers who enjoy high-stakes puzzles, shocking twists and morally gray characters forced into impossible choices.
