Global K-pop group SEVENTEEN has officially entered the world of anime. The 13-member boy band performs the ending theme song for the upcoming BEASTARS Final Season Part 2. The track, titled “Tiny Light,” will accompany the final episodes of the popular CG anime when they drop on Netflix this March. Fans got their first taste of the collaboration back in December when SEVENTEEN surprise-screened a clip during their dome tour in Japan .
The news connects two massive entertainment forces. On one side is BEASTARS, the critically acclaimed anime about a world of carnivores and herbivores navigating high school life and their own dark instincts. On the other is SEVENTEEN, one of the biggest K-pop acts in the world today. The collaboration has been in the works for months, but with the release date now locked in, the excitement is higher than ever.
When and Where to Watch the Final Episodes
BEASTARS Final Season Part 2 will begin streaming exclusively on Netflix on March 7, 2026 . This date applies to all regions simultaneously, meaning viewers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, India, and across the globe can watch the conclusion at the same time. Netflix handles the worldwide distribution, so the episodes will be available with multiple language dubs and subtitles shortly after they go live .
The first part of the final season arrived on Netflix in December 2024. After a wait of over a year, the story will finally reach its end this spring .
The Song: ‘Tiny Light’ by SEVENTEEN
The ending theme “Tiny Light” is not just any random track licensed for the show. SEVENTEEN member WOOZI personally participated in writing the lyrics, composing, and arranging the song . This level of involvement is significant. WOOZI is known as the producer of the group, and his deep understanding of music ensures the track fits the emotional weight of the anime’s finale.
The song is described as carrying heartfelt lyrics about never letting go of someone, no matter how hard things get. It combines fast-tempo drums with rhythmic guitar riffs . This energy mirrors SEVENTEEN’s signature performance style while matching the intense drama of BEASTARS.
For those who want to listen to the song before the anime airs, “Tiny Light” was released on major digital music platforms on February 27, 2026 . It is available on streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and various Korean and Japanese music sites.
A Special Connection Between WOOZI and the Creator
The collaboration goes deeper than just a business deal. On February 27, 2026, a special video was released featuring a conversation between WOOZI and Paru Itagaki, the original creator of the BEASTARS manga .
In this video, WOOZI openly talked about being a fan of the series. He shared his favorite characters and explained the meaning he poured into “Tiny Light.” Itagaki, in turn, engaged with the K-pop world by taking a quiz to guess which BEASTARS character best matched WOOZI’s personality . This interaction shows mutual respect between the artist and the creator. It is rare to see such a personal crossover, and it adds a layer of authenticity to the song’s role in the story.
What to Expect in Part 2
The story is picking up right where Part 1 left off. The peace in the world of BEASTARS is falling apart. Melon, the half-carnivore, half-herbivore criminal, is secretly working to destroy the trust between the two groups. His schemes are pushing society to the edge .
Legoshi, the gentle giant wolf, finds himself drawn deeper into the dangerous Back Alley Market. He is preparing for a final confrontation. Haru, the dwarf rabbit he loves, is in increasing danger as Melon’s plans move forward. Meanwhile, Louis, the red deer who once rejected his herbivore weakness, is dealing with new pressures in the surface world .
The main visual for Part 2, released alongside the date announcement, shows Legoshi and Louis standing back-to-back, ready for battle . It signals that these two characters, who have had a complicated relationship throughout the series, will join forces one last time to stop Melon.
The Voice Cast and Production Team
Studio Orange is back handling the animation. They are the reason BEASTARS looks so distinct, with its expressive CG characters that moved away from the stiff look people used to associate with computer-generated anime . Shinichi Matsumi returns as director, and Nanami Higuchi is again writing the scripts .
Several new cast members joined for the final season. The Japanese voice cast includes big names like Shinichiro Miki as Yahya, Shigeru Chiba as Gosha, and Koji Okino as the villain Melon . For English dub viewers, Netflix has confirmed voices like Jonah Scott (Legoshi), Lara Jill Miller (Haru), and Griffin Puatu (Louis).

Why This Matters for Both Franchises
For SEVENTEEN, singing an anime theme is a big move in the Japanese market. The group already has a massive following in Japan, as proven by their recent dome tour that drew 420,000 fans . Tying their music to a hit Netflix anime introduces them to an even wider international audience that might not follow K-pop closely.
For BEASTARS, having a top-tier act like SEVENTEEN attached to the finale raises the show’s profile even higher. The manga has already sold over 10 million copies worldwide and won the Manga Taisho award . The anime has been a flagship series for Netflix’s anime library since 2019. Ending with a original song by one of the biggest boy bands in the world is a fitting way to close the chapter.
The manga finished its run in 2020, so fans who read the books already know how the story ends . But seeing it animated by Orange, with the emotional punch of “Tiny Light” playing over the closing scenes, will be a completely new experience. The wait is almost over. Mark your calendars for March 7.
