Amphibia is an animated fantasy-comedy television series that airs on Disney Channel. The show follows 13-year-old girl Anne Boonchuy who is magically transported to the world of Amphibia, a land populated by frogs, toads, and other amphibious creatures. She befriends locals Sprig Plantar and Polly Plantar, and becomes determined to find a way back home.
Amphibia premiered on June 17, 2019 and is currently in its third season, which started on October 2, 2021. With season 3 still ongoing, fans are wondering if all the episodes have been released already or if there are still more to come. In this article, we’ll take a look at what’s been released so far for Amphibia season 3 and when we can expect the remainder of the season.
What’s Been Released So Far
Amphibia season 3 premiered with a one-hour special titled “The New Normal” on October 2, 2021. This kicked off what has been announced as a 20 episode season.
Since the premiere, 17 episodes have aired to date. Here is a list of the season 3 episodes that have been released so far:
| Episode # | Episode Title | Original Air Date |
| 1-2 | The New Normal | October 2, 2021 |
| 3 | The Haunted Camp | October 9, 2021 |
| 4 | Feet of Clay | October 16, 2021 |
| 5 | Birds of a Feather | October 23, 2021 |
| 6 | Lost in Language | November 6, 2021 |
| 7 | Contagi-Anne | November 13, 2021 |
| 8 | Fight at the Museum | November 20, 2021 |
| 9 | Temple Frogs | December 4, 2021 |
| 10 | Scavenger Hunt | December 11, 2021 |
| 11 | The Dinner | December 18, 2021 |
| 12 | The Birthday That Never Was | January 8, 2022 |
| 13 | The Turnipocalypse | January 15, 2022 |
| 14 | Thai Feud | February 5, 2022 |
| 15 | Anne of the Year | February 12, 2022 |
| 16 | After the Rain | February 19, 2022 |
| 17 | The Third Temple | February 26, 2022 |
So 17 episodes of season 3 have been released between October 2021 and February 2022. With the season order at 20 episodes, that means there are still 3 more to be released.
When Will the Remainder of Season 3 Be Released?
Based on Disney Channel’s release schedule for the season so far, Amphibia episodes have been premiering most Saturdays at 10:30 AM EST.
There was a bit of a break between “The Dinner” on December 18, 2021 and the next episode on January 8, 2022, likely due to the holiday season. And there was another longer break between “Anne of the Year” on February 12, 2022 and the most recent episode on February 26, 2022. But new episodes seem to consistently premiere around the Saturday morning timeslot.
Going by this pattern, it looks like the remaining 3 episodes will likely air on the following Saturdays:
- Episode 18 – March 5, 2022
- Episode 19 – March 12, 2022
- Episode 20 – March 19, 2022 (series finale)
Of course, the actual schedule is still subject to change based on Disney Channel’s programming decisions. But tentative airdates for the last few episodes look to be in March 2022.
Series Finale
It has also been revealed that the season 3 finale, episode 20 titled “All In”, will serve as the series finale for Amphibia as a whole. Show creator Matt Braly announced that the show would be concluding after season 3.
So fans can look forward to a proper series conclusion wrapping up Anne’s journey through Amphibia when the final episode airs likely on March 19, 2022. That will bring the entire series to a total of 60 episodes over 3 seasons.
Will There Be More Amphibia After Season 3?
With Amphibia ending after season 3, the main series will not continue beyond the upcoming series finale. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean this is the absolute end of the Amphibia universe.
Spinoff Series Potential
There is a possibility that Disney could greenlight a spinoff series or specials based on Amphibia at some point in the future. Spinoffs allow networks and studios to continue exploring popular worlds and characters while providing a sense of conclusion for the main show.
For example, the hit series Star Wars: The Clone Wars ended its main run after 6 seasons. But its characters and setting lived on in the Clone Wars spinoff series Star Wars: Rebels. Disney has a number spinoff shows like these for some of its other popular franchises.
Amphibia has a rich world with lots of potential for compelling side stories about other characters down the line. Creator Matt Braly and the team seem enthusiastic about the universe they’ve built. So while the main series is ending, there is always potential to revisit that world in future spinoff content.
Other Media
The characters and setting of Amphibia could also continue on in other media formats after the series finale airs. Franchises these days are transmedia experiences, expanding beyond just the main TV show into books, comics, video games, and more.
For example, Gravity Falls finished its main series on the Disney Channel back in 2016. But the property has lived on through a variety of books expanding on the world of the show.
Amphibia is a prime candidate for this kind of transmedia treatment as well. Through books, graphic novels, interactive games, and other content, fans may be able to continue exploring aspects of the Amphibia universe and characters even after the conclusion of the core animated series.
In Conclusion…
While the upcoming season 3 finale will be the end for Amphibia’s main run on Disney Channel, there are still possibilities for the show to continue in some capacity through spinoffs, transmedia content, or other media down the line. For now, fans can look forward to wrapping up Anne’s epic froggy adventure across the remaining season 3 episodes airing in March 2022.
What to Expect from the Remaining Season 3 Episodes
With only 3 episodes left of Amphibia, fans are eagerly speculating about what could happen in the final installments and how Anne’s journey through this magical world will wrap up. Here are some of the key things viewers can likely expect from the last few episodes of season 3 based on where the story left off:
Return to Earth
A major driving force this whole series has been Anne’s desire to return home to Earth after being warped to Amphibia. Now that she finally has the music box that brought her there, Season 3’s final episodes will likely depict Anne’s attempt to go back home. Can she successfully return? Will she want to stay? Expect some emotional goodbyes as this storyline comes to a head.
Confrontation with King Andrias
The power-hungry newt King Andrias has been positioned as the main antagonist going back to the season 2 finale cliffhanger. With Andrias enacting his conquest plans, there will surely be an epic showdown between him and Anne before the season is through. Their clash could have huge implications for the future of both Earth and Amphibia.
More Mysteries and Reveals
Amphibia has been gradually peeling back layers of mystery about this world, its unusual creatures, its ancient past, and Anne’s role in everything. With this being the final season, expect some major reveals about the Calamity Box, the ancient prophecy, and the true nature of this universe. There are likely still huge twists ahead before the end.
Character Sendoffs
A big theme of season 3 so far has been Anne coming to terms with the fact that she’ll eventually have to leave her friends in Amphibia behind when she returns home. The final episodes will likely contain lots of tearful goodbyes as Anne parts ways with the Plantar family, Sprig, Polly, Hop Pop, and others she’s bonded with on this journey. Saying farewell to these beloved characters will be bittersweet.
Conclusion of Anne’s Arc
Most importantly, the end of Amphibia means concluding Anne’s arc as a character. She began the show as an immature, selfish 13-year-old girl. Over three seasons, she has grown tremendously in strength, courage, empathy, and maturity. The final episodes will show how far Anne has come and conclude her hero’s journey as she saves Amphibia and finds her way home as a changed person.
Open Questions
A few other major storylines and questions that may be addressed in the final episodes include:
– What happened to Sprig and Ivy’s friendship? Will they reconcile?
– How will the townspeople react to Anne’s identity as the prophecy hero?
– Is there a way to heal the destroyed Planter home?
– What is the full history of the Calamity Box? Where did it come from?
– Will Anne be able to master all the Calamity Gem powers before the end?
– Is Marcy truly free from the King’s control? What role will she play?
The last three episodes are sure to be an emotional rollercoaster for fans as some of these plot threads presumably get tied up while others could be left open for future stories. Either way, the series finale looks to deliver a satisfying conclusion to Anne’s journey when it airs in March 2022.
Other Disney Channel Shows To Watch After Amphibia Ends
Once Amphibia airs its final episode, fans may be feeling a frog-shaped hole in their viewing lineup. Luckily, Disney Channel has plenty of other great animated shows to enjoy. Here are 5 titles that fans of Amphibia might want to check out next:
The Owl House
This fantasy series follows Luz, an eccentric human girl who stumbles upon a portal to another realm and apprentices herself to a powerful witch. With its magical setting, unfolding mysteries, and emphasis on charming characters, The Owl House has a similar adventurous vibe as Amphibia.
Big City Greens
For another fish-out-of-water comedy, try Big City Greens. It follows the misadventures of country siblings Cricket and Tilly after they move with their family to a big city they must adapt to. The urban setting contrasts with Amphibia’s wilderness, but the tone and humor will feel familiar.
Gravity Falls
Dipper and Mabel’s adventures uncovering the mysteries of Gravity Falls, Oregon make for one of Disney Channel’s most beloved series. With its paranormal elements, complex storytelling, and emphasis on character growth, Gravity Falls shares a lot of Amphibia’s strengths.
DuckTales
The recent DuckTales reboot does a great job blending humor, family dynamics, globetrotting adventures, and new interpretations of familiar characters. Fans of ensemble casts on fantastical quests should appreciate Amphibia’s similarities to this new DuckTales.
Star vs. The Forces of Evil
Magic, monsters, and growing up blend together in this series about magical princess Star Butterfly. Like Anne, Star learns tough lessons about responsibility, leaving home behind, and saying goodbye to friends as she comes of age. The tones match well.
While nothing can quite replace Amphibia, shows like these can help fill the void with more supernatural adventures, striking humor, and memorable coming-of-age stories. There are still plenty of animated magic and mysteries to discover on Disney Channel.
Conclusion
To summarize everything we’ve covered:
– Amphibia season 3 premiered in October 2021 and so far 17 episodes have aired, leaving 3 remaining.
– The final 3 episodes are likely to air on Saturdays in March 2022, with the series finale tentatively scheduled for March 19.
– Fans can expect an emotional conclusion to Anne’s journey featuring a return home, confrontations with King Andrias, big reveals, character farewells, and the wrap up of major story arcs.
– While the main Amphibia series ends with season 3, there is potential for the universe to continue through spinoffs, books, games, and other media in the future.
– For now, fans have several more animated shows on Disney Channel they can check out once Amphibia concludes, like The Owl House, Big City Greens, Gravity Falls, DuckTales, and Star vs. The Forces of Evil.
The last episodes of Amphibia promise to deliver an epic, nostalgic, and satisfying conclusion for fans who’ve been following Anne’s adventures through this strange amphibious world over the past three seasons. It will be sad to say goodbye, but the final episodes should give the show a wonderful send-off that viewers will remember fondly.
