The Chinese anime series "Bai Yao Pu," also known internationally as "Fairies Album," is getting a third season: For the new episode titled "Jingshi Pian" (Japanese: "Hyakuyōfu Daisanki Keishi-hen"), the production and broadcaster have now released the key visual and a teaser PV. The Japanese dubbed version will start in autumn 2026 on Japanese television – specifically from October 7, every Wednesday from 25:15 to 25:45, in the B8station slot on Fuji TV and bilibili (broadcast only in the Kanto region).

This continues the series' previous broadcast history: The Japanese version of the first season aired from January 2024 in the same time slot, and the second season followed from October 2024. Since April 1, 2026, B8station has also been airing a selection of particularly popular episodes from the first two seasons as an introduction to the new season.

"Bai Yao Pu" is based on the novel of the same name by Chinese author Sha Luo Shuang Shu and is set in China in a distant past. At the center is the ghost doctor Tao Yao, who, with a golden bell on her wrist, treats wounded demons and mythical creatures, accompanied by her travel companions – the devout young monk Mo Ya and the enigmatic nobleman Liu Gongzi. In the Japanese version, Nao Toyama, Ayumu Murase, and Kengo Kawanishi reprise their roles. In China, the work was shown as a series on bilibili and has now garnered more than 660 million views there; the third story arc was already shown there in 2022 as a twelve-episode online series.

The new key visual shows the nighttime capital Jingshi, while Tao Yao smilingly reaches out her hand toward a water lily on the water's surface; the warm glow of sky lanterns, also visible in the teaser, gives the scene a fairy-tale touch. The teaser PV sets the mood for the story arc with images from the new episodes, introduces two new male characters, and repeatedly offers glimpses of the creatures that are likely to play a role in the season.

The three main voice actors have also commented on the continuation. Nao Toyama is happy that the series returns for a third season and wonders where the "Bai Yao Pu" lost by Tao Yao – the titular register of a hundred demons – might have disappeared; she hopes the audience will continue to follow the fate of the characters. Ayumu Murase reports on guest characters with special quirks and a noticeably improved image quality, which made the dubbing sessions enjoyable. Kengo Kawanishi, in turn, points to the growing bond among the three protagonists and announces new encounters and events.

Direction for the new season is by Dong Yi; for the Japanese dubbed version, director Naoko Ando, translators Yoshie Honda and Masako Hayashi, and sound director Shin Yoshimoto are responsible. Sound production is handled by Tohokushinsha, and the dubbing is produced at Fuji Television.
