OK… raise your hand if you didn’t expect this. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
Earlier today, the final episode of Attack on Titan‘s second season hit Japanese TV. The episode concluded with a short teaser, which confirms that a third season of Attack on Titan is in the works for 2018.
The 15-second teaser trailer features a short slideshow of manga covers through volume 22. The final text before the logo cut reads “Behold, the sea.”

Funimation describes the new season as:
Eren Jaeger swore to wipe out every last Titan, but in a battle for his life he wound up becoming the thing he hates most. With his new powers, he fights for humanity’s freedom facing the monsters that threaten his home. After a bittersweet victory against the Female Titan, Eren finds no time to rest—a horde of Titans is approaching Wall Rose and the battle for humanity continues!
