Netflix anime Beastars is returning to our screens this December.

Thankfully, there’s a new trailer to tide viewers over in the remaining weeks. In it, series protagonist Legoshi outlines his intentions to start a family with his partner Haru, but not while he’s a Beastars. Meanwhile, a new villain is waiting in the wings: Melon, described in the trailer as “toxicity in motion.”

“Following the confrontation with Riz, Legoshi decides to leave school and begins living alone in Beast Apartments. Meanwhile, Louis, who has declined the Young BEASTARS and graduated from the academy, decides to finally face his father, Ogma,“Netflix’s newly-released synopsisof the final season begins.

“Haru, who is enjoying her campus life, deals with an endless series of troubles. Around this time, current BEASTAR Yahya pursues Melon, a violent criminal who seeks pleasure in murdering beasts. The fates of Legoshi and Melon, which never should have crossed paths, are intertwined by a secret held closely by Legoshi’s family.”

Several new characters are also joining the fray in the latest season of Beastars. They include komodo dragon Gosha, horse Yahya, and Legoshi’s sheep neighbor, Seven.
