Overview

  • Casey Bloys said it “certainly seems” the upcoming third season will be the last, while emphasizing the decision lies with the creative team.
  • Season 3 is confirmed to shift focus to Abby’s perspective from Part II, with Kaitlyn Dever in an expanded role.
  • Reporting indicates plans have moved toward completing the remaining story in one extended third season with a tentative 2027 release.
