The Great is the historical fiction drama that recently aired its season 2 on November 19 and has not failed to gather positive reviews. Based on the life of Catherine The Great hailing from Russia, the series was created by Tony McNamara.
Who also happens to executively produce the show alongside Andrew Spaulding, Doug Mankoff, Elle Fanning, Matt Shakman, Brittany Kahan Ward, Marian Macgowan, Ron West, and Josh Kesselman. The show was originally released in 2020 and received a good response.
Since the success of the previous two seasons, it becomes evident that season 3 should make a comeback. Let’s find out what is in store for the enthusiastic viewers with The Great season 3.
Is The Great season 3 on Cards?
Till now, there hasn’t been any update regarding season 3 of this light-hearted historical series. But going by the response, the show got for its previous two seasons. The show might likely make a comeback with a third installment.
The critics and audience have responded well to the show, so we are highly optimistic that the subsequent season might be on the cards. Also, the creators are equally enthusiastic about the show’s continuation and have intimated earlier that there is material for the next seasons.
The release date for The Great season 3 is unknown as of January 2023. The show was renewed, and Hulu announced in January 2022 that the new season would have ten episodes. Yay! The information was confirmed by a happy tweet.
The Great’s first season premiered on May 15, 2020, and season 2 didn’t reach our small screens until November 19, 2021, thanks in part to the Covid-19 pandemic.
When can The Great Season 3 be Expected to Release?
So, if the chances of the third season are high, the next question is the release date.
McNamara confirmed in the 2021 Summer TCA Press Tour that he is working for the third season and is always looking for fresher elements to be added to the tale.
Hence, if the series is renewed soon for the next season and its productions begin shortly towards the end of 2023 or starting of 2024.
What can be the Story in The Great Season 3?
Towards the end of season 2, we see tensions start to build between Catherine and her husband, Peter II, as the latter comes to know about her mother’s death. The Queen even tries killing Peter and sobs heavily but realizes it was just a lookalike of Peter she killed, and the couple hugs towards the end.
What can be expected from season 3 is that it will pick up from where the previous season ended. Owing to Joannah’s death and the situations surrounding it, Catherine and Peter would continue to face tensions in their marriage. The outbreak of a Civil War can also be seen covering a major part of season 3’s story. Well, let’s wait for more information from the officials.
Expected Cast of The Great Season 3?
If the third season is on the cards, many actors can be seen making a comeback in the installment. Nicholas Hoult (essaying the role of Peter III of Russia), Elle Fanning (essaying the role of Catherine the Great), Charity Wakefield (essaying the role of Georgina Dymova)
Gwilym Lee (essaying the role of Grigor Dymov), Sacha Dhawan (essaying the role of Count Orlo) and phoebe Fox (essaying the role of Merial) and are some of the likely comebacks that can be seen in the new season.
Not only these, but Douglas Hodge (essaying the role of General Velementov), Adam Godley (essaying the role of Archbishop), Miles Jupp (essaying the role of Maxim), and Belinda Bromilow (essaying the role of Aunt Elizabeth) also have high chances to reprise their roles in the season.
Unfortunately, Gillian Anderson’s role as Joanna (Catherine’s mother) will not be seen in the new season because of her death in the second season. Apart from older faces, newcomers can also be seen making the entry depending on the plot’s requirements.
