San-X and animation studio Production I.G have confirmed the production of a third season for the television anime Rilakkuma directly following the broadcast of episode 24 on TBS. The upcoming continuation bears the subtitle Kimama ni Manpuku Biyori (Carefree & Satisfying Days), promising another warm installment of leisurely domestic life centered around the beloved lazy bear and his companions.
Alongside the renewal announcement, the production team shared the third promotional video featuring gentle narration and the ongoing theme song "stay with me" performed by singer-songwriter Lilas Ikuta (vocalist of YOASOBI). The sequence highlights the quiet comedy and culinary comforts that define the daily routines of Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma, and Kiiroitori.
