The series is a visual treat to thriller and fantasy fans with its riveting storyline and relatable characters. Centering upon the emotional and heartbreaking stories of a mysterious village, Duon village, where the dead live happily after, the show has given solace and comfort in its own strange ways to viewers of all kinds. With its second installment already out on Tvn, fans are looking ahead to see its future episodes. But, as of now, there is no renewal announcement for S3, leaving fans wondering about the series’ future.
It is too early to get any solid word on S3 because the next batch of episodes has just arrived. Don’t we want to be fully invested in the episodes until we hear any confirmation news? With that in mind, here is everything you must know about Missing: The Other Side Season 3, its premiere date, cast, and more
Missing: The Other Side Season 3 Airing date
The Korean drama does not have a specific airing date for its future episodes as of now. However, we can be optimistic that it lands on our screens later anytime.
Its inaugural run launched in August 2020 followed by a quick renewal of part two that was premiered in Q4 of 2022. Thus, its consistency gives us hope that fans would not wait for long to watch its new episodes. Assuming things go smoothly and the renewal arrives by early 2025, or else we could anticipate S3 in the last quarter of 2024 as well.

Netflix’s Missing The Other Side Ending Explained
The Other Side episode 12 begins by Wook getting set to walk into Dong-Min’s hospital room. He heads inside after starting a recording on his phone. Wook tries to suffocate the culprit with a pillow after the killer confesses to all of his crimes since it is too much for him. While trying to stop him, Jun-Ho rushes inside and manages to convince Dong-Min to reveal Yeo-Na’s location.
Wook later apologizes to his mother for the previous day in the village. She assures him that she is aware of his feelings and that she can relate. She tells him it’s her fault because she took him to the house and broke her vow, and she is proud of the man he has grown to be. Myung-Jin has agreed to meet with Pan-Seok in the interim. His only response when he asks the murderer again where his daughter is is, “You haven’t changed,”
Later on in the cafe, Thomas tells Wook his real name is Cha Gwon Muk, a member of the Guryong Cha family’s 34th generation. He perished while crossing the Amnok River during the Korean War. He describes how he arrived and adds that he thinks there might be other locations like Duon.
Jong-A, Wook, and Pan-Seok visit Jun-Ho on the day of the funeral to show their respect. Thomas was present as Yeo-Na left, and Wook reports that she was grinning. When the chairwoman sees a picture of Yeo-Na, she realizes that Yeo-Na is wearing the same necklace that her daughter once wore.
After solving Joon-Soo’s case, Wook, and Pan Seok leave as the program comes to a close. They come to see a young child playing with a football who Pan Seok thinks looks rather familiar. The young girl then makes her way toward other children, including Hyun-Ji, by crossing the street.
