The highly anticipated third season of the TVING original series Yumi's Cells has officially set its premiere date. According to a report by Eyes on March 4, Yumi's Cells 3 will make its debut on April 13 at 6 p.m. KST, exclusively through TVING. Following this initial release, the series will also be available to viewers on tvN as the Monday-Tuesday drama following the conclusion of Siren, currently airing.

Based on the popular Naver webtoon of the same name by Lee Dong-geon, Yumi's Cells tells the relatable and heartwarming story of the ordinary character Yumi as she eats, loves, and grows, all with the help of her personified cells. The series has been praised for its unique combination of live-action and 3D animation—a first for a Korean drama—faithfully capturing the spirit of the original webtoon. Nearly four years after the premieres of Season 1 (2021) and Season 2 (2022), Yumi's Cells 3 marks the series’ much-awaited return.

This season sees in-demand actor Kim Jae-won step into the male lead role, following the performances of Ahn Bo-hyun in Season 1 and Park Jin-young in Season 2. Kim Go-eun reprises her role as Yumi for the third consecutive season, promising to deliver a new set of engaging episodes and highly relatable romance, continuing the tone that captivated audiences in previous seasons.

The reunion of Kim Go-eun and Kim Jae-won has already generated buzz. The two previously worked together in last September’s Netflix original drama Eun-jung and Sang-yeon, and viewers are eager to discover their chemistry in Yumi's Cells 3. The cast is further bolstered by Jeon Seok-ho, Choi Daniel, and Jo Hye-jung, raising expectations for a dynamic ensemble.

Yumi's Cells has garnered a dedicated fanbase and remains one of TVING's flagship original productions. When news of Season 3’s production broke in June 2023, fans' excitement reached new heights. Filming for the new season wrapped up in October of the same year.

Yumi's Cells 3 is set to premiere on TVING on April 13, with its television broadcast to follow as the successor to Siren on tvN from April 14 onwards. With its availability on both OTT and network TV, the show is expected to reach an even broader audience.
