Mononoke - O Filme: Capítulo 3 - A Maldição da Serpente is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 29, 2026. It is the same feature released under the international title Mononoke The Movie: Chapter III - The Curse of the Serpent and concludes the film trilogy set in the Ōoku. To find it in the Brazilian catalog, search for the Portuguese title or open the third film’s official listing.
When does it premiere, and what is its Brazilian title?
Netflix’s September schedule and announcement give September 29, 2026, as the streaming premiere date. The trailer posted by Netflix Brasil also states that date. Its Brazilian listing uses Mononoke - O Filme: Capítulo 3 - A Maldição da Serpente and identifies it as a 2026 release rated A16. Accordingly, “Mononoke 3,” “Chapter III,” and “A Maldição da Serpente” identify the same third installment, not separate productions.
The announced date should not be mistaken for a precise release time: the official sources consulted do not give a specific hour for the title to appear in Brazil. Check the app or the film listing for actual availability on September 29.
What is the viewing order of the three films?
Watch the trilogy in chapter order. These are the names shown on Netflix’s Brazilian listings, alongside each film’s year:
- First film (2024): Mononoke - O Filme: O Fantasma na Chuva (The Phantom in the Rain).
- Second film (2025): Mononoke - O Filme: Capítulo 2 - As Cinzas da Ira (Chapter II - The Ashes of Rage).
- Third film (2026): Mononoke - O Filme: Capítulo 3 - A Maldição da Serpente (Chapter III - The Curse of the Serpent), scheduled to reach Netflix on September 29.
Netflix says chapters 1 and 2 are already streaming. Viewers who want the finale’s narrative connections in order can start with The Phantom in the Rain, continue with The Ashes of Rage, and then watch The Curse of the Serpent.
How does Chapter III connect to the other films, without spoilers?
All three films share the Ōoku setting, the inner quarters associated with the shogun’s court, and the Medicine Seller, who confronts entities called mononoke linked to human emotions and grudges. According to Netflix’s official overview, the trilogy shifts perspective with each film: the first follows a newcomer, the second highlights elite concubines, and the third focuses on the highest-ranking woman in the Ōoku.
That change of focus does not make the third film an unrelated story. Netflix describes the finale as the conclusion of a narrative that draws on elements planted in the first chapter. The Brazilian synopsis offers a spoiler-free starting point: a tragedy in the Ōoku gives rise to the Medicine Seller’s most fearsome opponent.
Does the 2007 anime count as part of the trilogy?
No. Mononoke, the 2007 anime series, predates the feature films but is not “Chapter I” of this trilogy. The numbered film sequence begins with the 2024 movie. The older series has its own listing, separate from all three films, so check the year and subtitle before choosing what to watch.
Where to watch and how to find the correct listing
Netflix is the announced streaming home of the third film. Its direct Brazilian listing helps distinguish it from the 2007 series and earlier chapters. The first and second films have individual listings too. Check audio languages, subtitles, and actual availability for your viewing profile and region; the announced date alone does not establish those options.
