What time does The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 come out?
The premiere streamed on Crunchyroll at 8:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM ET (3:00 PM in the UK) on October 2. US clocks moved back one hour on November 1; Crunchyroll has not published a new time, so check the app on Friday morning.
How many episodes does Season 3 have?
Crunchyroll has not posted an official episode count. Schedules from anime news sites list 12 episodes in Part 1, ending on December 18, with a second part reported for April 2027. Seasons 1 and 2 each ran 24 episodes, so a 24-episode season split in two parts would match the series so far. We will confirm it here when it is official.
On Crunchyroll, the episodes are numbered after Seasons 1 and 2, so the Season 3 premiere can appear as episode 49 in the app.
Is the English dub out?
Yes. The English dub started on Friday, October 16, 2026, with new dubbed episodes weekly. Emi Lo returns as Maomao and Kaiji Tang as Jinshi.
