The Apothecary Diaries quickly became a sleeper hit, thanks to its smart storytelling, compelling lead characters, and striking historical setting. With season 2 about to be wrapped, fans have been clamoring for news about a potential continuation, and now, a cryptic tweet from series creator Natsu Hyuuga has sparked a fresh wave of speculation.

While not a direct confirmation, Hyuuga’s post via @NaMelanza on X hints that something big may be coming soon. The author casually mentioned that early July would be packed with announcements and that her weekends are fully booked. That vague but loaded comment was all it took to send fans into a frenzy, many convinced that season 3 is quietly brewing behind the scenes.

Natsu Hyuuga’s Innocent Post Might Not Be So Innocent After All

Natsu Hyuuga’s seemingly innocent tweet would not typically cause a stir, except this time, the timing could not be more perfect. With anime studios often revealing major updates at the start of new quarters, Hyuuga’s comment about “lots of announcements” landing in early July has made fans sit up and take notice.

The line about being “busy on the weekends” added even more fuel.

The Apothecary Diaries season 2 is set up to end on a high note, and both seasons have been praised for their faithful adaptation of Hyuuga’s novels. From the political plots to Maomao and Jinshi’s evolving dynamic, the show left fans hungry for more, especially since there is still so much left in the original story to adapt.

Add to that the series’ strong sales in both anime and manga form, and it is hard to imagine the production committee passing up a third season. With a passionate global fanbase and a wealth of source material, The Apothecary Diaries has everything it needs to keep going, and Hyuuga’s tweet may be the first breadcrumb toward that.

Now, all eyes are on the calendar. Early July cannot come soon enough for fans desperately hoping Hyuuga’s comment leads to the long-awaited season 3 announcement for The Apothecary Diaries. Whether it is a new teaser, cast update, or full-blown trailer, expectations are sky-high for what is next.
