The official website of the third Kingdom anime season revealed the staff and a teaser visual (pictuted) on Monday. The new season will begin airing on the NHK-G channel in April 2020.

Staff
Director: Kenichi Imaizumi (Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Gokukoku no Brynhildr)
Series Composition: Noboru Takagi (Shoukoku no Altair, Golden Kamuy)
Character Design: Hisashi Abe (Berserk, Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System trilogy)
Studio: Studio Signpost (previously Pierrot Plus)

The third season will adapt the Gasshougun-hen (Coalition Army Arc), which spans from volumes 25–32. Masakazu Morita, Jun Fukuyama, and Rie Kugimiya are reprising their character roles as Li Xin (Li Shin), Ying Zheng (Ei Sei), and He Liao Diao (Karyou Ten). Yasuhisa Hara, the original creator, is supervising the new season.

Kingdom adapts Hara's historical military-themed manga series of the same name, which began its serialization in Weekly Young Jump in 2006. Shueisha published the 56th volume on November 19.

The first two anime seasons, produced by Studio Pierrot, ran for three cours each in Summer 2012 and 2013.

Can we at least get the manga localized here in the U.S.?

I'd would at least like to try this with the manga in my own bare hands instead of through a shitty anime adaptation.

The director of Reborn eh. could be good, depends on how much time they're given. I'm not concerned about it being a subsidiary. Studios use subsidiaries all the time. I mean while Bones always goes by Bones, they have three different teams. I'm going to remain optimistic for this project, I'd rather wait for a PV first before jumping to the worst case scenario

Berserk fanboys complain about cgi but at least they won´t have their best arc ruined by a Pierrot subsidiary.
