Funimation announced Attack on Titan Season 3 will premiere in Japan on July 22 with the first trailer back in April. The trailer focused on Levi, with him talking about a man he grew up with. By the end of the trailer we learn this man is named Kenny, and it seems the Titans aren't the only things our heroes will fight in Season 3.

"We're thrilled to be bringing back 'Attack on Titan' for its third season in 2018 and on the heels of the series' long awaited and exciting return last year," said Gen Fukunaga, CEO and founder of Funimation in a press release. "Everyone is anxious to see what's in store for the new season. Fans have been clamoring with non-stop speculation ever since Wit Studio released a Season 3 teaser poster last October. We will all soon find out later this year."
