Will One Punch Man Return for a third season?
One Punch Man season 1 and 2 were a big hit. Not only in Japan but anime lovers all over the world were highly impressed by the series.

Trailer
Since One Punch Man hasn’t been renewed for a third season, there is no trailer yet. There are a lot of uncertainties undergoing the series. One Punch Man season 2 did not receive much attention from fans and critics. Undoubtedly, the anime series is very popular and could be renewed for a third season. But the date isn’t certain and finalized. Also, the show-creators have expressed their interest in renewing the series for a third season. Usually, trailers are released a month before the season’s premiere. It seems like the third season is a bit far away. Fans are requested not to keep their hopes high at this point in time.
The popularity of the Series
One Punch Man season 2 did not gain as much popularity and appreciation as season 1. However, this is quite common in anime series. The opening song of season 2 was not liked by a lot of people. One Punch Man merchandise is also quite popular among the fans. Season 1 was a big hit globally. People loved and appreciated the concept of the series. However, season 2 lacked a few instances. We hope that the show creators would fill this gap in the third season. Here’s the season 1 trailer.
Source Material
