It has been decided that season 3 of " Akinaiseiden Kin to Gin ," a NHK BS period drama starring actress Fuka Koshiba , will be produced and will be broadcast in spring 2026.
" Akinaiseiden Kin to Gin" is set in the mid-Edo period and is a bright and lively portrayal of ordinary people who work hard and use their ingenuity to make their business a success, while incorporating a variety of local customs.
In season 2, the main character, Sachi Koshiba (played by Koshiba), fulfills a promise she made to her late husband, Chizou (played by Leo Matsumoto), and opens a store selling kimono and fabrics called "Gosuzuya Edo Store" in Edo Asakusa Tawaramachi. Together with her colleagues, they pool their ideas and work hard to make "Gosuzuya a store that will last for 100 years," and develop a small pattern dyeing method for the common people, which becomes a huge hit.
In the midst of all this, she is reunited with her ex-husband Souji (Kato Shigeaki), who fled Osaka and whose whereabouts are unknown. She also meets Masugoya Chubei (Takashima Masanobu), a book exchange merchant in Nihonbashi who has fallen in love with her younger sister Yui (Nagasawa Itsuki), and it seems that their encounter will have a ripple effect on the future of Gosuzuya... or so the story ends.
Season 3 picks up immediately after that, with an unexpected enemy appearing for Sachi. Who is her friend and who is her enemy? A series of unexpected events brings Sachi and Gosuzuya into crisis, and there is love, laughter, tears, and a furious development. The series will be broadcast on NHK BS and BSP4K in a total of 8 episodes.
