The official website for MF Ghost Season 3 confirmed that the anime will premiere in January 2026. In addition, a new teaser visual for MF Ghost Season 3 was revealed at the “Initial D 30th Anniversary 2days” event at Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka, along with the January 2026 date.
Like the first and second seasons, the third season will most likely air on Tokyo MX, BS11, RKB Mainichi Broadcasting, Animax, TV Aichi, Shizuoka Broadcasting System, TV Setouchi, Tochigi TV, and YTV in Japan. A total of 24 episodes for MF Ghost were released thus far, so another 12 are expected in the third season.
Serving as the sequel to Initial D, the MF Ghost manga by series creator Shuichi Shigeno entered serialization in September 2017 for Weekly Young Magazine. The series starred Kanata Livington, a Japanese-British 19-year-old trained by Initial D protagonist and legendary racer Takumi Fujiwara. Kanata aims to find his long-lost father, and the talented rookie must get behind the wheel like those before him.
The MF Ghost manga series is available to purchase digitally at Kodansha’s official website. Additionally, the manga is available to read on Kodansha’s K Manga app. Here’s an overview of the MF Ghost manga series via Kodansha:
The author of Initial D has roared back onto the track with another hit! In a near future where cars have mostly switched over to sustainable power, combustion engine racing is a rarity. The MFG is the last major race for this dying breed, and half-Japanese Kanata Rivington has come back to try his luck. But that’s not all he’s come to Japan to do…he’s searching for his father, too. Can even the ambitious Kanata accomplish all he’s set out to do?
