Legoshi and Haru's Story Reaches Its Finale: 'BEASTARS Final Season Part 2' Premieres March 2026, Main Trailer Out Now
BEASTARS Final Season Part 2 is almost here -- and the newly released main trailer brings Legoshi and Haru's journey into sharp focus ahead of the March 2026 premiere. Along with the trailer, the ending theme has been revealed: "Tiny Light" by SEVENTEEN.
Based on Paru Itagaki's award-winning manga (Shonen Champion Comics, Akita Shoten) with over 10 million copiesin circulation worldwide, BEASTARS has grown into a global favorite. The anime adaptation by Orange, one of Japan's leading CG studios, has earned sustained praise from fans and critics in Japan and beyond.
The new trailer looks back at key moments from earlier arcs, charting Legoshi and Haru's growth while teasing the looming threat of Melon as the story heads into its final chapter. It's a reminder of what's at stake -- and why this relationship has been at the heart of the series from the beginning.
Capping the season is "Tiny Light," the ending theme by SEVENTEEN, a group celebrated worldwide for their influence that extends beyond K-pop and into the global pop music scene. The track blends powerful energy with a message of holding on through hardship, a fitting note for the finale.
BEASTARS Final Season Part 2 streams exclusively on Netflix in March 2026.

The facade of peace is shattered by Melon's secret schemes.
As distrust between herbivores and carnivores intensifies, Melon's fangs draw close to Haru. Legoshi, having drifted to the Black Market, is once again forced to confront himself, while Louis struggles with new entanglements in the surface world. Reunited, they move on their respective paths toward the same goal: to face Melon.
Legoshi believes in miracles, Haru looks toward the future, Louis defies destiny, and Melon despises the world.
In a society shaken by desire and fear, what "answer" will they finally reach? The coming-of-age ensemble drama set in the animal world now reaches its conclusion.

iHeartMedia Offers Creators and Publishers Unique New Video Podcast Platform
Highlighting Its 'Creators First' Mission, iHeart Will Seamlessly Support Both Audio and Video Podcast Distribution Within iHeartRadio - For Free
*
NEW YORK, NY - iHeartMedia, the leading audio media company in America, announced today that it will be extending its 'Creators First' mission by expanding its podcast platform offerings to seamlessly support both audio and video distribution withinboth the app and web versions of iHeartRadio -- at no cost to creators.
In early 2026, iHeart will give creators the ability to distribute full-length video directly into iHeartRadio - for free - in addition to their existing audio distribution. When this video feature launches, creators will be able to upload their podcast episodes, including full-length video versions, through their standard RSS feeds for seamless distribution in iHeartRadio, the #1 digital radio service which also includes access to millions of podcasts.
This new feature will deliver on three important factors:
* Creative Integrity: Podcasters will control how their content is presented: If they want to offer a full-length video version of their podcast, it will be supported - and if a creator prefers distribute as audio-only, that will be supported too. iHeart will provide the tools; creators will maintain creative ownership.
* Monetization Strategy Consistent with Podcasting: Creators will retain control over their monetization, with no revenue share required to iHeart. By offering this distribution for free, consistent with audio podcast distribution platforms to date, iHeart will offer creators the most cost-effective strategy for launching and expanding their podcasts -- without compromising either their creative integrity or their financial autonomy.
* Creator Control Over Where Content is Hosted: iHeart will not require creators to have their videos hosted and served from an iHeart-owned hosting provider in order to make video available on iHeart. Just as they do in audio, creators can decide where they want their videos to be hosted and served.
"While audio remains the backbone of the podcast medium, as well as its primary source of audience connection and the reason for the industry's explosive growth, video podcasting is now emerging as a completely separate and incremental form to audio, in the same way that podcasting evolved as a new layer on top of broadcast radio," said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. "At iHeartMedia creators come first. Providing this new video distribution capability for free to our creators is an additional testament to our continuing focus on creators' success, and is consistent with how and why the podcast industry was built to begin with."
"As content has become more popular and podcast creators have become true stars, we've seen a natural trend: Creative audio content is becoming more valuable to more platforms," said Conal Byrne, CEO of the iHeartMedia Digital Audio Group. "This makes sense: When you have some of the best creators in the world, making some of their best content in podcasting, then that's going to drive other content types too - like video. As the no. 1 podcast publisher, iHeart provides the scale, credibility and expertise required to navigate the complexities of the growing and evolving podcast landscape, and we're fully committed to working with creators to help them grow and retain their audience, ensuring they reach the widest possible audience and maximize their financial performance - which now includes video. Because that's what our creators want, deserve and should expect."

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, Dec. 23 -- Duke Energy issued the following news release:
* * *
Duke Energy partners with community organizations in South Carolina to help customers in need stay safe, warm and connected
* Together with customers, employees and local partners, Duke Energy is making a difference - providing critical energy assistance so families can stay safe and connected during challenging times.
*
GREENVILLE, S.C. - As temperatures drop this holiday season, more families are turning to community resources to make ends meet.
Impact this year: Through the Share the Light Fund(R),Duke Energy, its Foundation, customers and employees have contributed more than $670,000 in South Carolina to community agencies this year alone - helping neighbors keep their homes warm and powered when it matters most.
Long-term commitment: Since 2022, more than $11 million has been contributed to nonprofit partners to connect customers in need with assistance nationwide.
What they're saying
Amanda Dow, Duke Energy Foundation South Carolina director: "Behind every request for help is a story--a family, a friend, a community member working to get through a tough time. Through Share the Light Fund and our local partners, we're able to support our neighbors in their moment of need."
Kristi King-Brock, Anderson Interfaith Ministries executive director: "Duke Energy has provided consistent funding to AIM for the last 35 years through the Shine the Light Fund formally known as the Share the Warmth program. This partnership has allowed us to assist thousands of low-income individuals and families with their utility bills. We are so grateful for Duke's continued investment in our work, allowing us to give Hope and change lives."
Shelley L. Price, G.R.A.S.P. executive director: "We are incredibly grateful to Duke Energy for their continued partnership and support through the Share the Light Fund. This funding allows GRASP to provide critical assistance to families and individuals who are facing difficult choices between paying for utilities and meeting other basic needs. Partnerships like this strengthen our community and help ensure that no one has to go without essential services during times of hardship."
How to get help or give back: Customers who need assistance can find local agencies through our Payment Assistance Finder.
Want to help? You can set up a recurring or one-time contribution to the Share the Light Fund - bringing comfort and connection to those who need it most
Deeper dive: Many homes across the Palmetto State were unable to benefit from weatherization programs because of pre-existing health and safety issues. That's why Duke Energy and Duke Energy Foundation awarded $125,000 in microgrants in 2025 to South Carolina nonprofits that have programs to help make necessary repairs to enable households to become eligible for energy efficiency improvements.
Duke Energy also increased incentives and eligibility for many of its energy efficiency and demand response programs in South Carolina, expanding ways customers can save money and energy. For more information about these programs, visit duke-energy.com/SeasonalSavings.
