But we still have no official announcement from the makers. Until then these are only speculations.

Plot
Shigeo Kageyama nicknamed Mob is an average, school-going boy. Except that he is not. He is a powerful esper that possesses psychic power. With the amount of power in this small body, it is a difficult task to keep a lid on. He seeks help from a con man Reigen Arataka to control his abilities. Mob aspires for normalcy in people’s lives. However, his power threatens to break its limits with each passing day. Season 2 ended with Mob losing his powers and deemed as weak by everyone around him. Season 3 will pick up from this scene.
A new addition to the series might be the only clue we have for now for the plot of Mob Psycho 100 Season 3. Haruki Amakusa is a new character, whose aim is to hunt down Hyakki, a spiritual monster.
