Will there be Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury season 3? Explained

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury season 3 being green-lit is one of the most anticipated news generating immense excitement among the mecha fandom. However, unfortunately, the Gundam franchise has yet to break its silence on a potential revival of G-Witch.

With its captivating storyline, thought-provoking themes, and fascinating characters, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury has become among the highest-selling series of 2023. G-Witch has captured the hearts of many, garnering a lot of appreciation from fans worldwide, including both Gundam enthusiasts and those who are new to the anime.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury successfully rejuvenated the Gundam franchise in 2023

As Bandai Namco Holdings announced on May 10, 2023, Gundam IP Group-wide sales grossed a record-high 131 billion yen per the 2023 Fiscal Year, which, compared to 2022, earned 29.7% more. The president of Bandai Namco Holdings, Masaru Kawaguchi, revealed that Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury played a pivotal role in acquiring new fans for the franchise.

With 7.6/10 on IMDb, 7.9/10 on MyAnimeList, and a 67% score on Rotten Tomatoes, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury has become a sensation among anime fans and critics alike. Solidifying its place as a must-watch entry in the Gundam franchise, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury season 3 is expected to be green-lit soon.

However, as the finale imparted a fitting end to the second installment, the possibilities of the renewal, on the other hand, seem thin. The finale saw how Miorine disbanded the Benerit Group and sold all the assets to Earth, initiating a deal with Shaddiq and causing the SAL to lose their justification for validating a war.

After three years, Miorine became a negotiator, facilitating communication and diplomacy between Earth and Space. As fans anticipated, Suletta and Miorine tied the knot at the end and have been living in peace with Prospera and Ericht. Fans also got emotional after learning that Ericht’s consciousness had been transferred into a mechanical keychain, thus accomplishing her dream of living with her family.

Despite the undeniable success of the series, the possibilities of season 3 becoming a reality are quite slim. However, fans can now find solace in the prospect of a new Gundam film on the horizon: Mobile Suit Gundam: SEED FREEDOM, which will be a sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam: SEED DESTINY.
