I Will Become the Villain’s Poison Taster wrapped up its second season in June, and readers are eager to know when Season 3 will begin. I’m also looking forward to it, since Leniel is one of my favorite green flag MLs so far. In the last chapters, Giselle and Leniel’s relationship is finally established, and in Season 3 they will have to face Leniel’s mentor from the past. Season 2 was much shorter than Season 1, so let’s hope we get more chapters this time.
In this article, we go through everything we know so far – official creator statements, platform announcements, and what this means for international readers.
I Will Become the Villain’s Poison Taster, Season 3 Release Date Confirmed
Season 3 of “I Will Become the Villain’s Poison Taster” is officially returning this October! According to the publisher C&C Revolution, the webtoon will resume on October 13, 2025, at 10 PM (KST) with episodes 84 and 85, followed by episode 86 on October 16. To celebrate the comeback and thank readers for their patience, the creators are kicking things off with a special three-episode release. After that, new chapters will return to the regular Friday schedule (released Thursday nights at 10 PM KST). The artist shared the news on their Instagram, including new cover art:
I Will Become the Villain’s Poison Taster, Season 3: Korea vs. Global Release Date
- Korea (KakaoPage / Kakao Webtoon):
Chapter 83 was released on May 1, 2025, marking the official end of Season 2. In the announcement, the creators thanked readers for their continued support and confirmed that news about Season 3 will be shared once the schedule is finalized in the second half of 2025. And just like they promised Season 3 is around the corner. - Global (Tapas):
International readers saw the Season 2 finale a little later – it was uploaded on June 8, 2025, with a hiatus notice attached. This one-month gap clearly shows that overseas platforms can run behind the Korean schedule.
Why this matters: Once Season 3 begins in Korea, English readers on Tapas or Lezhin may have to wait several weeks before seeing the episodes.
I Will Become the Villain’s Poison Taster, Season 3: Official Hiatus Statement
Artist PilYoo shared a message on their official Instagram account on May 1. There have been no posts since then. I also checked the news on KakaoPage, and the latest update was the same.
The final episode of Season 2 has been released.
Thanks to all the readers who have enjoyed the story every week, we were able to successfully conclude Season 2.
News regarding Season 3 will likely be shared once the schedule is confirmed in the second half of this year.
The weather has become much warmer lately, and we hope you enjoy lively and happy spring days. Please also be careful not to catch a cold due to the temperature changes. Thank you as always.
From May 2 to May 6, there will be a special limited-time event to celebrate the conclusion of Season 2.
We hope you enjoy it!
This confirms that Season 3 will not return before mid-to-late 2025.
I Will Become the Villain’s Poison Taster Season 3: Platform Status (as of September 2025)
- KakaoPage (Korea): Original serialization, Fridays. On hiatus since May 1, 2025. Season 3 will air on October 13th.
- Tapas (EN): Season 2 finale released June 8, 2025. Currently marked as Hiatus.
- Lezhin (EN): Last update June 11, 2025 (Episode 83), followed by an official hiatus notice on June 18, 2025.
- WEBTOON (EN): Started publishing the series on September 10, 2025, with weekly Thursday updates. This is a new launch of Season 1 on WEBTOON, not the continuation into Season 3.
What This Means for Readers:
- Season 3 release date is confirmed. Episode 84 and 85 will be released on October 13th, 10 pm.
- Expect delays for English releases. Since Season 2 ended a month later on Tapas than in Korea, the same could happen again with Season 3.
Season 2 of I Will Become the Villain’s Poison Taster has officially ended – May 1 in Korea, June 8 on Tapas.
Season 3 will be released on October 13th. For international fans, it’s also important to keep in mind that even once Season 3 starts in Korea, Tapas and Lezhin could see a delayed rollout, just like with the Season 2 finale.
You can revisit the completed Season 2 on many major platforms – and follow PilYoo, the artist, on Instagram for updates.
