There have been no official reports on whether there will be a season 3 of the fire force or not. David Production has so far not released any latest updates or official statements regarding season 3 of the fan favourite anime, leaving the curious fans wondering.
However, if we were to look at last year, season 2 of Fire Force hit the screens from the 4th of July 2020 to the 12th of December 2020. Therefore, this timeline gives us a basic idea of what we can expect from the producers—this year.

If everything goes well, we can expect the anime to hit the screens from somewhere around mid of July or Early August. This means that the official news on Season 3 will be released to the fans soon.
However, we shouldn’t keep our hopes too high. As we already know, the ongoing pandemic is now returning with a second wave. The pandemic has already delayed more than 70% of the ongoing productions. Therefore, it would come as no surprise that season 3 might not make the cut this year.
Plot and The Setting
The story takes place in the year 198 in Tokyo (Solar Era). The world is plagued by the monsters or the ” Infernals”. The infernals are humans who have undergone spontaneous mass combustion. In other words, humans who caught fire abruptly and now are suffering in excruciating pain while their flesh burns off their bones turning them into a true example of “Living Hell”.

The infernals are the examples of the ” first – generation” i.e. some of the first people to have undergone spontaneous combustion. However, fast forward to 3 generations and the world has now finally gained control over the flames, without turning into a big giant ball of chaos, an ability which is known as pyrokinesis.
In this world, no form of death is as horrifying as being turned into an Infernal. The Special Fire force is the league that is trying to fight this disastrous phenomenon.

Shinra Kusakabe is a young pyrokinetic who has the ability to ignite his feet at will. Shinra joins the Special Fire Force Company 8 to extinguish the “Infernals” and end their suffering. The members of the Special Fire Force Company 8 consist of other flame users with pyrokinetic abilities. However, Shinra soon realises that things aren’t what they seem to be.
Much to his horror, he begins to uncover the truth about a mysterious fire. A Fire that killed his entire family 12 years ago.
