Theme is "prison" does it means Acchan still involved in this drama?
No idea as the details aren't out yet.
My guesses of the direction that MG 3 could take:
- Atsuko's life in prison after her arrest in MG2. Atsuko-centric as it is her last drama with AKB48. Some backstory about Detective Takamina as well.
- The remaining students in Majisuka continue their inter-school war with new opponents from NMB48 and HKT48. Lots of references to Atsuko in prison to keep up with the prison theme.
- Brand new story set in a prison with new characters.
- Everyone in Majisuka Gakuen gets thrown into jail for fighting on the streets
Personally, I like the idea of a brand new story set in a prison. Majisuka Prison, anyone?
Without being restrained by the plot of the previous two seasons, we can have a mix of the good ol' senbatsu members and the up and coming members that the management wants to promote.
If MG3 is going to be a continuation of MG2, I foresee an uninspired plot full of fresh faces that may not hold the interest of casual viewers and even fans. I love the Center-Nezumi combination but the spotlight will probably move away from them in MG3, much like how the spotlight moved away from Atsuko in MG2.
