Ossan’s Love Returns おっさんずラブ-リターンズ- is a 9-episode Japanese BL series which premiered on January 5, 2024. On the same day, a special 10-minute spin-off, Ossan’s Love Returns: Haruta and Maki’s First Wedding Night おっさんずラブ-リターンズ- スピンオフドラマ「春田と牧の新婚初夜」, was also released.
Ossan’s Love おっさんずラブ first aired as an end-of-year single-episode drama in 2016. Following its popularity, a 7-episode series was released in 2018. The following year, a movie sequel, Ossan’s Love: Love or Dead おっさんずラブ～LOVE or DEAD～, was released in August, 2019. Then in November 2019, an 8-episode second season, Ossan’s Love: In the Sky おっさんずラブ-in the sky-, was released which was a separate “parallel universe” story and not a sequel to the 2018 series or the 2019 movie. Now this third season, Ossan’s Love Returns is the actual sequel to the 2018 series and the 2019 movie.
