The Japanese sci-fi thriller is based in a parallel version of Tokyo and revolves around a group of people who are forced to play and win dangerous, sadistic games to remain alive.
As revealed by the teaser for season three, which arrived back in June, Arisu and Usagi’s lives are falling apart since their return to the real world at the end of season two, with the characters being haunted by nightmares about Borderland. Usagi is abducted and brought back to the Borderland, while Arisu’s handed a mysterious Joker card as chaos ensues.
