BEASTARS Season 2
12 episodes, numbered 13-24. Continues straight from Season 1 as Legoshi looks for whoever killed Tem.
3
BEASTARS Final Season Part 1
12 episodes, numbered 25-36. The first half of the Final Season, picking up after Season 2 and introducing Melon. It stops mid-story, so go straight on to Part 2.
⚠ Netflix lists this as Final Season Part 1. Rotten Tomatoes, JustWatch and Wikipedia call it Season 3.

BEASTARS Final Season Part 2
12 episodes, numbered 37-48. The second half of the Final Season and the end of the anime, reaching the manga's final chapter.
Why This Order
There is only one way through BEASTARS, because each entry starts where the one before it stops. Season 1 sets up Cherryton Academy, Legoshi and Haru, and the killing of the alpaca Tem. Season 2 turns that killing into the main plot as Legoshi looks for the culprit, so it does not work without Season 1. The Final Season follows Legoshi after those events and was released on Netflix as two 12-episode batches, Part 1 in December 2024 and Part 2 in March 2026. The two parts are one 24-episode season cut in half, not two separate seasons, and many sites list them together as Season 3. Part 2 ends at the manga's final chapter, so the anime is complete at 48 episodes.

BEASTARS Watch Order FAQ
Where should I start with BEASTARS?
Start with Season 1, episode 1. BEASTARS has no prequel, film or alternate entry point, and every later season assumes you have seen the one before it.
What is the correct order to watch BEASTARS?
Season 1, Season 2, Final Season Part 1, then Final Season Part 2. That is 48 episodes in a single line, with nothing to watch in between.
Is BEASTARS Final Season the same as Season 3?
Yes. Netflix calls it Final Season Part 1 and Part 2 and never uses the label Season 3, while Rotten Tomatoes, JustWatch and Wikipedia list the same 24 episodes as Season 3. They are one season, and there is no Season 4.
Why is the BEASTARS Final Season split into two parts?
Netflix released the 24-episode Final Season in two batches of 12: Part 1 on December 5, 2024 and Part 2 on March 7, 2026. Each batch arrived all at once worldwide. Part 1 stops mid-story, so treat the two as one season and watch them back to back.
Can I skip any season of BEASTARS?
No. Season 2 resolves the killing that opens Season 1, and the Final Season follows the same characters afterward. None of the four entries is a side story.
How many episodes of BEASTARS are there, and how long does it take to watch?
48 episodes: 12 in Season 1, 12 in Season 2 and 24 in the Final Season (12 per part). At about 23 minutes each, the whole series takes roughly 19 hours. On this page the two parts of the Final Season are counted as separate seasons, which is why the table shows four.
Is BEASTARS finished, and will there be another season?
The anime is finished. Final Season Part 2 was released on March 7, 2026 and adapts the manga through its last chapter, and the manga itself ended in October 2020 at 22 volumes. No sequel or new BEASTARS anime has been announced as of October 2026.
Does the BEASTARS anime cover the whole manga?
It reaches the ending: the 48 episodes run from chapter 1 to the final chapter, 196. The Final Season covers chapters 100-196 (Volumes 12-22) in 24 episodes, a much faster pace than the first two seasons, so readers who want the longer version of that stretch can start the manga at Volume 12, Chapter 100. Viz Media has published all 22 volumes in English.
Are there any filler episodes?
No. BEASTARS has no anime-original filler episodes; every episode adapts the manga.
Is there an English dub?
Yes, all four entries are dubbed. Jonah Scott voices Legoshi, Lara Jill Miller voices Haru and Griffin Puatu voices Louis throughout. One role changes: Melon is voiced by Darren Criss in Final Season Part 1 and by Scott Whyte in Part 2.
Where can I watch BEASTARS?
On Netflix, which carries all 48 episodes in the US with both the Japanese audio and the English dub. It is not on any other US streaming service as of October 2026. Availability can differ by country.
Is there a BEASTARS movie or OVA?
No. There are no films, OVAs or recap specials. The only other animation is the three-minute music video for YOASOBI's Season 2 ending theme Yasashii Suisei (Comet in its English version), which is not an episode. Beast Complex, Paru Itagaki's short story manga set in the same world, has not been adapted into anime.
