Season overview
''With time, Marinette and Adrien ended up becoming friends. But the collège girl discovers that declaring her feelings for her friend is not so simple, in fact, it will be almost the opposite!''

''For Ladybug and Cat Noir, despite their new powers and teammates that they can call upon when the situation requires it, the fight with Hawk Moth becomes harder and harder. Their opponent is always stronger as long as he can call on Mayura, a villain who can create allies for the Akumatized, the supervillains.''

''More powers, more action, more villains, and more emotions! Season 3 will put Adrien and Marinette to the test: Will they be able to keep their secret and prevent their private life from interfering with their superhero adventures?''

Trivia

 * Astruc's intention for Season 3 is to find out why Hawk Moth wants the Miraculouses.
 * According to Feri González, in Season 3 there would be a lot of references to Season 2.
 * This appears to refer to the fact that many characters are re-akumatized into villains, but with different identities from those of previous occasions.
 * Five akumatized villains from the first season return: Stormy Weather, Mr. Pigeon, The Puppeteer, Reflekta, Gamer, and Princess Fragrance, and three from the second season: Gigantitan, Zombizou, and Dark Owl.
 * During "Gamer 2.0" the majority of akumatized villains re-appear, including Stormy Weather, Mr. Pigeon, The Puppeteer, Reflekta, and obviously Gamer, though each of those return in another episode as well.
 * Several previously akumatized characters are akumatized with new identities: Lila as Chameleon; Alya and Nino as Oblivio; Kagami as Oni-Chan; Sabrina as Miraculer; Chris Lahiffe as Timetagger; Alya, Juleka and Rose as the Trio of Punishers; André and Audrey Bourgeois as Heart Hunter and Chloé as Miracle Queen.
 * One episode of Season 3 was slated to have a reference to "Glaciator".
 * References are actually shown in "Weredad", "Oblivio", "Desperada", "Ladybug", and "Heart Hunter".
 * This season is the first to have episodes without a confirmed akumatized villain. Those are "Feast" and "Ladybug".
 * Both episodes would turn out to have akumatized villains, though "Ladybug"’s are very brief.
 * Also, this is the first season to have an episode with an akumatized main hero.
 * The opening sequences of Season 3 are strictly the same as Season 2.
 * The actual viewing order for this season is via the production code.
 * Like with Season 2, Netflix split this season into two parts.
 * This season is the first to have four studios animating for this season, with the previously known ones, SAMG and DQ. Assemblage joins in since "Reflekdoll" and Symbiosis only for "Startrain".
 * Like season 2, this season of Miraculous has a few story arcs that start or progress throughout the entirety of the season, ending with "The Battle of the Miraculous". These include:
 * Marinette's arcs:
 * Marinette's love life is strained, with Adrien, Cat Noir and Luka pulling her in different directions. This is shown in "Weredad", "Silencer", "Oblivio", "Desperada", "Ikari Gozen", and "Cat Blanc", and ends with her letting Kagami and Adrien develop a relationship while she starts giving Luka her attention.
 * As Ladybug learns more about the power of the Miraculous, she starts building up her team and giving her friends Miraculouses to help her save the day, and increasing her own power as well. She also begins her training under Master Fu in order to became the next Guardian of the Miraculouses. This is shown in "Reflekdoll", "Miraculer", "Desperada", "Startrain", "Kwamibuster", "Ikari Gozen", "Timetagger, and "Party Crasher" and ends with the team members' identities revealed, presumably forcing them into retirement, and her losing Master Fu's guidance after Hawk Moth captures him.
 * Being Ladybug takes a lot out of Marinette, with new and old enemies taking up her time from being Marinette; she starts to doubt her abilities to keep it all together. This is shown in "Gamer 2.0", "Stormy Weather 2", and "The Puppeteer 2", and ends with her finding comfort first in Luka, and later in Cat Noir.
 * Adrien's arc involves him opening up to the possibility his and Ladybug's relationship stops at being partners, and focusing on his friendships with other characters. This is shown in "Oni-Chan", "Stormy Weather 2, "Party Crasher", "Cat Blanc", and "Ladybug", and ends with his starting a more romantic relationship with Kagami.
 * Hawk Moth's arc involves his plan with Mayura using the Peacock Miraculous to create struggles that Ladybug and Cat Noir have never before faced. This is shown in "Reflekdoll", "Miraculer", and "Ladybug", and ends with the villains discovering Master Fu's identity, and briefly recruiting Chloé into their ranks, as well as gaining the knowledge of the Miraculous spellbook.
 * Chloé's arc involves her learning she cannot be a Miraculous holder anymore since Hawk Moth knows her identity. This is shown in "Miraculer", and ends with her siding with Hawk Moth and giving up on her relationship with Ladybug.
 * Wang Fu's arc splits at "Feast":
 * Before "Feast", Fu's past is explored, including his role as the last Guardian of the Miraculouses, joining the Order of the Guardians, and the mistake leading to his stay in Paris. This is shown in "Backwarder" and "Feast", and leads to the old sentimonster of his creation being destroyed, his identity revealed to Hawk Moth, and the Guardians' temple in Tibet being restored, along with all of the Guardians who had inhabited it.
 * After "Feast", Fu goes into hiding with the Miracle Box, as seen in "Party Crasher" and "Ikari Gozen", and the arc ends with Hawk Moth and Mayura cornering him at Place des Vosges park and taking him hostage. This in turn plays out with Fu losing his memory, passing his position as the Guardian to Marinette, and leaving Paris with his old love, Marianne Lenoir.
 * Lila's arc involves her now back at Collège Françoise Dupont full time, and as Marinette tries to reveal her true face, Lila makes her move toward Adrien, causing more trouble for the two, and gaining Gabriel's favor. This is shown in "Chameleon", "Oni-Chan" and "Ladybug".
 * This is the only arc that ends before "The Battle of the Miraculous" finale.
 * Kagami's arc involves her starting to build her new life in Paris, finding friends and enemies along the way, and becoming her own person under her mother's strong influence. This is shown in "Animaestro", "Backwarder", "Oni-Chan", "Desperada" and "Ikari Gozen", and ends with her relationships with Adrien and Marinette going to their next step.
