Code Geass, also known as ‘Kodo Giasu: Hangyaku no Rurushu’ in Japan is a Japanese mecha anime series that was released under the production Sunrise. The series has been directed by Goro Taniguchi and it has been written by Ichiro Okouchi. In this article, we shall discuss Code Geass Season 3.

The plot of the previous seasons
The show has been set in an alternate reality. The story first shows Lampeouge. Then, it focuses on the story of an exiled prince Lelouch vi Britannia. The plot includes the Holy Empire of Britannia which is at a very slow but uniform rate of becoming a military dominating nation.
The empire began its conquest from a region of Japan known as Area 11. It shows that despite fighting and tolerating the rule for a very long time, Japan surrenders to the tyrants and loses. The story gradually shifts the focus of the show from Lampeouge to Lelouch. Lelouch is the former King of Britannia who one day, feels that he is stuck in between the rebel forces of Area 11 and the attackers or oppressors and realizes that he is in a very difficult position.
The show succeeded in impressing the anime audience with its 1st and 2nd seasons. That is why the creators thought of making Code Geass Season 3 to make the fans happy after a long time. The first season of the series aired very long back on 6th October 2006 and the second season was released on 6th April 2008.
Each season had 25 episodes and the show had a huge fan base of anime lovers. Almost all the people fell in love with the show because of its amazing, adventurous and thrilling content. The audience was enthralled with the release of the show back then.
The expected release date for Code Geass Season 3
It has been more than 14 years since the first episode of the first season premiered on Code Geass. But the fans have still not gotten over the madness of the show and are very excited to see Code Geass Season 3.
It appeared somewhere before that there will be no Code Geass Season 3 because of the long-lost hiatus of the show being as old as a decade or more. But later it was heard in July 2020 that a new season of the show is under production and is being worked upon.
A movie expanding or re-loading the series of Code Geass was released in 2019 which was considered Phase 1 of the plan. The movie was named ‘The Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection.
It is also being heard that the upcoming project is a movie of the name Code Geass: Z of the Recapture. It is essentially Phase 2 of the plan. However, this will not be related entirely to the story of the first or second seasons but will slightly take the gist of the previous seasons so that the fans could relate the new story to the old one.
Where are the previous seasons of Code Geass available?
Seasons 1 and 2 of the series are entirely available on both Funimation and Crunchyroll. They are dubbed in English and have subtitles in English for the ease of understanding of the fans.
Expected Cast of Code Geass: Z of the Recapture
The new project of Code Geass will surely have a new cast but it is also expected that some of the old cast and main characters will be returning for the new project. Lelouch’s character has been voiced by Jun Fukuyama in the previous season. CC has been voiced by Sayaka Ohara, Suzaku Kururug has been voiced by two artists, Takahiro Sakurai and Akeno Watanabe and Kellen Stadtfeld has been voiced by Ami Koshimizu in the Japanese version of the show.
If the leads of Code Geass will be returning, we will be seeing Johnny Yong Bosch and Michelle Ruff as the childhood versions of Lelouch, Kate Higgins as CC, Yuri Lowenthal, Laura Bailey as Suzaku Kururugi, and Karen Strassman as Kallen Stadtfeld.
Where will be Code Geass Season 3 available to watch?
Since the first two seasons and the movie of Code Geass were released on Crunchyroll, in Japanese audio with English subtitles and the dubbed English versions, Code Geass Season 3 or the movie is also expected to arrive on the same platform.
Also, Netflix has the whole Code Geass on it. So people with Netflix subscriptions can also easily watch the previous seasons there. But since the third one is not a Netflix Original, it is most likely to not be available on Netflix but on Crunchyroll. The trailer or teaser for Code Geass Season 3 is not yet released; neither is an expected or tentative release date. So we have to entirely rely upon the future to know the release dates.
