The Owl House season 3 release Date on Disney Plus

The Owl House is an American animated fantasy television series created by Dana Terrace that premiered on Disney Channel on January 10, 2020.

The show has been hugely popular with audiences, and the series was understandably renewed for a second season back in November 2019. Then, in May 2021, the series was renewed for a third season consisting of three specials, ahead of the second season premiere, later announced to be the final season of the series.


The Owl House Season 3 Release Date

See update below. 

The Owl House season 3 will be much different compared to the previous two seasons as Disney decided not to renew the series for an entire season. Instead, the third season will be consisting of three 44 minute specials. Creator Dana Terrace mentioned that although they asked for an extended third season, Disney disagreed. In addition, it was also announced that season 3 of The Owl House would be the final season.

The Owl House season 2 premiered approximately one year after the end of season 1. If Disney were going to continue that trend, The Owl House season 3 should have arrived sometime in the April to June 2022 timeframe. However, that didn’t pan out and Disney hasn’t made any official release date announcements for The Owl House season 3.

We expect that we could see an announcement for season 3 of The Owl House announced at D23. Stay tuned!

Even though Disney hasn’t renewed the show beyond season 3, Creator Dana Terrace stated that fans should continue to share their love for The Owl House on social media in the hopes of spins-offs, shorts, movies etc. Some fans have even started a petition which you can sign here.

UPDATE: “The Owl House” debuts the first of its final specials SATURDAY, OCT. 15 (9:00 p.m. EDT/PDT), with a simulcast on Disney Channel and Disney XD.


The Owl House Season 3 Disney Plus Release Date

Disney has made no official announcement as to when The Owl House Season 3 will be arriving on Disney+. We expect to see the three specials arrive sometime in Q2 or Q3 2022 at the latest. Stay tuned for official details!


What is The Owl House About?

“The Owl House” follows Luz, a self-assured teenage girl who stumbles upon a portal to a magical realm where she befriends a rebellious witch, Eda, and a tiny warrior, King. Despite not having magical abilities, Luz pursues her dream of becoming a witch by serving as Eda’s apprentice at the Owl House and ultimately finds a new family in an unlikely setting. In 4Q20, “The Owl House” was a top-five cable animated series with kids and girls 6-11, and the series has amassed over 58 million views on Disney Channel YouTube since its launch in January 2020.

Starring in the series is Sarah-Nicole Robles (“Star Darlings”) as Luz, Wendie Malick (“Just Shoot Me”) as Eda, Alex Hirsch (Disney’s “Gravity Falls”) as King and Hooty, Matthew Rhys (“The Americans”) as Emperor Belos, Issac Ryan Brown (Disney Channel’s “Raven’s Home”) as Gus, Tati Gabrielle (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) as Willow, Mae Whitman (“Good Girls”) as Amity and Cissy Jones (“Little Big Awesome”) as Lilith.

The Owl House season 3 release date has just been confirmed, but there is a catch that fans of the series will be devastated about.

The second season of Disney’s hit animated series, The Owl House, came to an end back on May 28th 2022, after the show made its long-awaited return in Summer last year.

Almost immediately after the credits rolled, fans around the world will start looking ahead to what the future holds for this socially important and relevant show.

Well, there is both good and bad news concerning season 3 of The Owl House; it is in the works and the release date has just been confirmed, but it will also be the final instalment in the series and will not be a full-length season.

Here’s everything you need to know about The Owl House season 3’s problems, why the show was axed and most importantly, what date it is now set to release on Disney.

The Owl House season 3 release date confirmed, but there’s a massive catch

The good news for fans of The Owl House is that season 3 was ordered by Disney all the way back in May 2021, before the second season even premiered.

“Dana and her team have created a series that continues to push the envelope with epic and diverse storylines, an astounding world and multifaceted characters that have captivated our audience. We’re eager to showcase more adventures in seasons two and three.” – Meredith Roberts, via Deadline.

On September 14th, it was officially confirmed via TV Guide that season 3 episode 1 of The Owl House would release on Saturday, October 15th at 9 PM ET/PT on Disney Channel and Disney XD.

Per the exclusive report by TV Guide, “The first 44-minute special, titled “Thanks to Them,” will pick up right where The Owl House Season 2 finale left off, with Luz and her friends stuck in the human realm — and willing to do whatever it takes to return to the demon realm to save the Boiling Isles from Emperor Belos and the Collector.”

However, the bad news is that season 3 of The Owl House will be the final instalment in the series after it was cancelled by Disney and will also not be a normal 19–21-episode season, instead of being “comprised of three 44-minute specials.”

Responding to a fan on Twitter on whether season 3 would be the last, creator Dana Terrace said in a now-deleted tweet via Popculture, “Unfortunately, yes. But we’re excited for what we have planned.”

A release date for The Owl House season 3 episode 2 and episode 3 has not yet been revealed, but are set to premiere in 2023.

Fans of The Owl House are now left in this uncomfortable situation where we are happy for the new specials but simultaneously extremely frustrated at this being the final adventure, so why was The Owl House axed?

Why was The Owl House cancelled with a shortened season 3?

Speaking on a Reddit Ask Me Anything, Terrace would go into more detail about why she thought The Owl House had got the axe from Disney. The first point of call was to address whether the series had been cancelled because of LGBTQ+ representation.

Terrace said that “While we have had issues airing in a few countries (and are just straight up banned in a few more) I’m not gonna assume bad faith against the people I work with in LA.”

Budget and pandemic-related production were also not the reasons for the cancellation, with Terrace noting how she “wasn’t even allowed to present my case.”

“They just wanted to be done with TOH and this was the perfect chance to do that. Even getting the consolation s3 episodes was difficult, apparently. Hard to say, I wasn’t allowed to be a part of any conversations until I was just… Told.” – Dana Terrace, via Reddit.

The creator would then add how both the budget and ratings at the time of this decision were good enough to merit a full-length third season…So what was the real reason? According to Terrace, branding.

“At the end of the day, there are a few business people who oversee what fits into the Disney brand and one day one of those guys decided TOH didn’t fit that “brand”. The story is serialized (BARELY compared to any average anime lmao), our audience skews older, and that just didn’t fit this one guy’s tastes. That’s it! Ain’t that wild? Really grinds my guts, boils my brain, kicks my shins, all the things. It sucks but it is what it is.” – Dana Terrace, via Reddit.

It’s not fair that The Owl House isn’t getting a “full” season 3, I’m not even counting those 3 episodes as a season, The Owl House deserved a full season 3, it deserved a season 4 too, even if it means only releasing on Disney+, Disney sucks for canceling the show! #TheOwlHouse

Can you get involved to help The Owl House?

As noted by Terrace in a now-deleted tweet, the best thing that fans can do is tell Disney directly that they want more content from The Owl House season 3.

“This has been said by many creators before but the idea’s still the same. If you want more Owl House let Disney know! Watch it on Disney+! Send physical letters bc they still read those for some reason! Have your own House Demon? Make them stare uncomfortably at ppl having lunch!” – Dana Terrace, via Popculture.

However, fans have also taken matters into their own hands and started countless petitions calling for Disney to continue production on The Owl House. At the time of writing, the most popular petition had over 167,000 signatures and is only a few members short of reaching its goal of 200,000 signatures.

The petition explains how Disney doesn’t “appear to read DMs and emails, presumably due to 1) the sheer number they receive, and 2) the fact that people mailing letters are statistically over 18 and therefore able to earn and spend money (like on, say, cable subscriptions or merch).” Subsequently, they emphasise the importance of sending physical letters by ‘snail mail’

“What message is it that we want to be putting out? Personally, I know I want to watch inclusive TV shows with positive representation of different races, sexualities, body sizes, and economic status. I want to see weirdness and imperfections celebrated, not shamed. The Owl House provides just this – so let’s see it continue!” – Change.org Petition.
