Code Geass Season 3: Z of the Recapture Rumour (December 2024)

The iconic mecha-anime series starred back in 2019. Since then, fans have expected Code Geass season 3. Code Geass is a Japanese animated series written by Ichiro Okouchi and directed by Goro Taniguchi.

The storyline revolves around Lelouch vi Britannia, an exiled prince who obtains the power of absolute obedience from a mysterious woman named CC.

The series caught massive attention and a fan base due to its mind-blowing storyline. However, fans are still waiting for the series to be renewed since the last season lasted until 28 September 2008.

What happened to Code Geass season 3? Let’s find out in the article.

A Brief Introduction Regarding the Series

Will there be a Season 3 of Code Geass?

Since the series ended in 2008, it has been almost 14 years since it got a renewal. After the success of its previous seasons and increasing demand, the fans are desperately waiting for a new season.

Unfortunately, season 3 will not happen as it has been on pause for over a decade. The creators have also not announced anything regarding its renewal for a long time. In December 2020, many rumors emerged that a new Code Geass anime project was being developed.

However, later, it was announced that it would be a movie named Z of the Recapture. It was also announced that the movie would not follow the storyline from seasons 1 and 2. However, the release of Lelouch of the Resurrection in 2019 was phase 1 of the plan.

It is assumed that the Z of the Recapture potentially will be phase 2 of the plan.

Cast

If there will be a season 3 by any chance, its expected cast may be the old one only.

What will be the Plot of Season 3

As we have already told, the third season of Code Geass will not happen, so the expected storyline cannot be told.

But we can presume that the story might revolve around an alternative reality: the Holy Empire of Britannia is slowly becoming a military-dominating nation. Japan lost the war against the tyrants even after resisting their rule for a long time.

The story seems to shift the focus on Lelouch Lamperouge, a former royalty of Britannia who found himself in a dangerous situation between the rebel forces of Area 11.
