When it comes to animated comedies that really get how weird and tough and wonderful adulthood can be, Netflix has the market cornered. Whether it’s Bojack Horseman, Tuca and Bertie, or the Ezra Koenig-helmed Neo Yokio, there’s something the streaming giant fundamentally understands about using the animated medium to really unpack big, serious, adult issues. Perhaps that’s why Aggretsuko has been so warmly embraced by adult fans.
The Sanrio character Retsuko has made her way to Netflix, presenting as a 25-year-old red panda who is sweet and only wants to be the best at her job. But life in the workplace comes with its regular set of annoyances, so Retsuko frequently channels her frustrations into regular metal-filled karaoke sessions after work. Here’s everything we know about Season 3 of Aggretsuko.

How did Aggretsuko Season 2 set up Season 3’s plot?
Aggretsuko Season 2 took a more inward look at Retsuko’s life, analyzing her relationships to her family and her friends while still incorporating the wry depictions of life in the workplace that made Season 1 so beloved. Retsuko gained a new appreciation for some of her coworkers, like the very gossipy Kabae, whom she witnessed counseling another employee with a more mature attitude. For Retsuko, Season 2 was not just about managing the daily pressures of being a 20-something and trying to hold it all together, but really looking deep at preconceived notions she had about what adulthood is supposed to be like and what they’re really like.
Season 3 had Retsuko moving on from romance in exchange for falling more into her work. As she fills the void in her life with a virtual boyfriend, she’s left with her funds depleted. Luckily, a new opportunity opens up when her singing prowess is discovered and she’s recruited for a girl group. It ends up being a big test for Retsuko, as she tries to figure out managing her day job with a chance at stardom.
