It previews Maomao and Jinshi facing a disaster that threatens the country and a mysterious woman who has been causing a stir among the people. The ending theme is "AIYOU" by Eve, and the trailer includes a snippet of the song.
Eve's posted comment describes the song as coming from a different place than a mystery. Eve wrote that the human heart cannot always be unraveled, and that emotions which cannot be put into words can sometimes create a distance as vast as the universe between two people standing right beside each other. Eve said the song was born from wanting to capture the desire to see the "you" that exists beyond your role and position. Eve also wrote that even in the loneliness of gazing at such a distant star, there are feelings that draw hearts toward one another, and that those feelings cannot be neatly explained by logic.
The third season airs in two parts. The first cour premieres on October 2, 2026, and the second cour follows in April 2027. An anime film titled The Deceased Empress' Treasure is set to premiere in Japan in December 2026.
