Hacks Season 4: Creator Talks About Future Plans

Hacks has remained one of the most popular series on Max, and there’s no denying that. The comedy-drama has created its separate fandom, and people are just enjoying the struggle between Deborah and Ava. But will they return to enchant the audience with their charm? Is Hacks Season 4 on the cards? You will be surprised to know that the series creators and the production committee have peaceful news for the series fans. That’s right! Hacks is about to enter a new territory. So, without further ado, let’s see what happens next.

Created by Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky, Hacks follows the story of Deborah Vance and her head writer, Ava Daniels. Deborah, a legendary stand-up comedian, struggles to find her place in the fast-changing world. While she struggles to become the most renowned comedian, she meets Ava, who struggles to find a job after her insensitive tweet. However, things turn fruitful for them as they both join hands to live up to their dreams. But will this teamwork continue in Hacks Season 4? Let’s see!

Hacks Season 4 Is Officially Renewed

Since the series debuted, it has left its fans on their toes, and there’s no denying that. The show is undoubtedly entertaining, and everyone just loved it. That’s why when the third season of Hacks wrapped up airing, the network didn’t take much time to make a pleasing announcement. Max surprised its audience on the day Hacks released its ninth episode of the third season.

Max

The streamer confirmed that the Emmy-winning comedy series starring Hannah Einbinder and Jean Smart will return. That’s right! The streaming platform renewed the series for the fourth season. “We congratulate Hack’s brilliant cast and crew and our partners at Universal Television,” said Sarah Aubrey, head of Max original programming.

Sarah added that the series is a masterfully crafted comedy that shares the insights of the joy of dreaming and vulnerability. She added that the creative team behind the show is not only brilliant but also incredible and joyful to work with. They are happy to return with Hacks in another season with Ava, Deborah, and the rest of the family.

The show is undoubtedly amazing, and there’s no second guess. That’s because the third season turned out to be a masterpiece. It broke its own records as the series gained positive reception. Hacks Season 3 received a solid 91% positive reception on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.2 out of 10 on IMDb.

In fact, Max revealed that the seventh and eighth episodes of the third season were the best. They gave the streaming platform its best single-day viewership to date. So, it’s enough to suggest why the streaming platform renewed the series just after season 3’s conclusion.

Universal Television President Praised The Team

As soon as the streaming platform announced Hacks Season 4, Erin Underhill, president of Universal Television, the production company behind the series, expressed her gratitude to the incredible creative team. Erin said, “Hats off to Jen [Statsky], Lucia [Aniello], and Paul [W. Downs] for crafting a world as compelling and poignant as it is clever and funny.”

Erin expressed her gratitude to the team, applauding their outstanding cast, who made it possible. Their acting skills were the ones to be praised as they made everyone fall in love with these flawed, hilarious, and deeply human characters. Universal Television’s president thanked their streaming partner, Max, for their terrific partnership for the first three seasons and counting.

MAX

Erin added that they couldn’t wait to return with more Hacks seasons. Meanwhile, the series co-creator Lucia shed light on their struggle. Lucia shared that they started working on the third season in May 2022, and filming started in November of the same year. However, things didn’t work out as planned. Thanks to the writers’ and actors’ strike, filming for the third season was delayed.

The team faced several setbacks before entering production. Fortunately, the strike concluded in September 2023, allowing them ample time to return to finish production. Despite that, Lucia shared that they didn’t wrap up filming until January 2024. Although they faced several hardships to finish the third season, the pain was worth counting.

Creator Envisoned The Series As Five Seasons

While the series has performed incredibly well, the creator has already mapped out how things would move. Lucia Aniello, the show’s creator, told Variety that they already planned the series to run for five seasons, so Hacks Season 4 was still on their plan. She shared that they started pitching the series in 2019. However, they have been in talks about the show since 2015. So, they already had a plan for how the series would look and even discussed how they wanted the show to go.

Max

In addition, Lucia told Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast that they are now ready to extend the series. The second season had eight episodes, while the third season returned with nine. Lucia stretched on that and shared that they are now ready to return with more episodes than they had planned or agreed on. It’s like there’s more to share, and covering everything within eight or nine episodes is impossible. So, Hacks Season 4 will now have ten episodes. That’s because there’s more to say and do.

Statsky discussed the team’s decision to do ten episodes in Hacks Season 4. She said, “I think, for better or worse, comedy has changed so much.” Statsky added that comedy is currently in a precarious state. The team did a fantastic job, but there are several elements that they want to explore, and it isn’t easy to do that with a shorter season. That’s why they are ready to return with ten episodes per season instead of eight.

Hacks Season 4 Cast Details

The show will undoubtedly bring the lead character, Deborah Vance, back into our lives. That means Jean Smart will return to Deborah. We can safely say that Hannah Einbinder will also return as Ava Daniels. Carl Clemons-Hopkins will return as Marcus, Megan Stalter will return as Kayla Schaefer, and Paul W. Downs will return as Jummy LuSaque Jr. Rose Abdoo as Josefina, Mark Indelicato as Damien, and Kaitlin Olson as Deborah “DJ” Vance Jr.

Max

The other recurring cast members include Christopher McDonald as Marty Ghilain, Poppy Liu as Kiki, and Johnny Sibilly as Wilson. Angela Elayne Gibbs as Robin, Jane Adams as Nina Daniels, and Lorenza Izzo as Ruby will return in a recurring role. Luenell as Miss Loretta, Joe Mande as Ray, and Lauren Weedman as Madam Mayor Pezzimenti will also reprise their role in Hacks Season 4. However, it remains unclear who will return as the guest role. The production committee has yet to share more details about the cast of the series.

What Will Happen In Hacks Season 4?

The third season has already set the stage for the next chapter. In the final episode, we see Ava blackmail Deborah to have a one-night stand with network executive Bob Lipka as Deborah loses her late-night show host job. Surprisingly, Deborah agrees to do that and sleeps with Bob to secure her position. However, things will become more challenging if this secret gets exposed in Hacks Season 4. Well, the series creator has already planned how they will move this storyline.

Statsky told Variety that Deborah had finally gotten this huge gig and needed to work on it as she had waited for this position. However, her dreams have complicated things between her and her closest collaborator and friend. She has betrayed her friend, and now it remains to be seen how things will be played off. Apart from this, Marcus is all set to leave Deborah’s circle. He is ready to leave the team for a role at QVC, and Damien seems to know that.

Max

On the other hand, Jimmy begs Kayla to stay. He even chases her, leading many to believe he’s trying to propose to her. However, it later turns out that he only wants to promote her so that she can remain a part of the business. Surprisingly, she accepts the proposal. As for the family front, Deborah will face another challenge when she learns about DJ’s pregnancy. Now, how she will deal with everything remains to be seen.

Deborah And Ava’s Relationship Will Stain

Statsky also told the outlet that Hacks Season 4 will focus on Deborah and Ava’s relationship. Their bonding has remained the strongest one, but things will change. She said that the fourth season would revolve around their relationship and that the new dynamic would tell how things would move. But since the series is a comedy show, it’s challenging to delve such a stained relationship drama into the picture. However, now that they are focusing on late-night shows, many new changes and environments will occur. So, be ready.

Hacks Season 4 Release Date

Max

As of now, the series has only been renewed. So, it doesn’t seem like it will return this year. The third season took two years to wrap up filming, and the credit goes to the Hollywood strike. However, it doesn’t seem like such a thing will happen again. So, the filming will only take six to seven months to wrap up, but when the fourth season enters production, it remains to be seen. Considering all the parameters, Hacks Season 4 won’t return until 2025. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

The Bear Season 4: In Production? Gets Early Release Date

The Bear has been ruling its fans’ hearts since 2022. There’s no doubt that the show has won the hearts of all demos of people. After its debut, the series became one of the most prestigious shows, and now everyone is rooting for another season. Will we get The Bear Season 4? There’s no doubt all demos of people have loved the show.

However, it remains unclear whether the series will return, considering FX being mum about the show’s future. But don’t worry! We have pleasant news for you. So, without further ado, let’s head to see what The Bear has in store for us.

Created by Christopher Storer, The Bear follows the story of Carmen “Carmy” Anthony Berzatto, whose dysfunctional family issues create problems for him. His family is known for running an Italian beef sandwich shop. However, things turn dramatic for Carmy when his older brother Michael attempts suicide, causing problems for the former. Now, the responsibility of the restaurant and the unruly staff is in Carmy’s hands. So, can he handle it?

The Bear Season 4: Is It Renewed Yet?

The comedy-drama The Bear debuted back in June 2022 and soon made history on FX. Well, the network plans to expand its original series, and The Bear turned out to be the most-loved show on the network. That’s why the network didn’t take much time to renew the show for the sophomore run. However, three seasons have passed, and fans wonder whether FX will return with Season 4 of The Bear.

There’s no doubt the show ended on a cliffhanger, suggesting there’s more to come. But will we get another season? To your surprise, FX has already planned to return with The Bear. Before the third season premiere, the show was renewed for the next season. That means The Bear Season 4 is happening. This shows the network’s fate in the series.

FX

Why not? The series has remained a fan-favorite for years, which was also reflected in the 2024 Emmy nominations. The Bear broke its own record by earning 23 nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Casting, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Director. Jeremy Allen White (Carmy) and Ayo Edebiri (Sydney) earned a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor/Actress.

The Bear Season 4: Production Details

Since the series has been renewed for the fourth season, many believe The Bear Season 4 will soon enter production. When asked about the filming details, actor Jeremy Allen White said he wasn’t sure when filming for the fourth season would begin. However, he believed this season would follow the same pattern as last year.

Season 4 might undergo filming in February/March, following the same timeline. If you remember, the second season started filming in February 2023 and returned on screen in June 2023. Likewise, the third season started filming in February 2024 and aired in June 2024. So, it’s believed that The Bear Season 4 will enter production in February 2025.

FX

However, earlier this year, Deadline reported that the cast and crew had already started filming the next season. According to the reports, the series cast and crew filmed seasons 3 and 4 back-to-back in Chicago. Although FX has yet to make a public announcement, it’s believed the series has already wrapped up its filming.

Deadline later reported the reason behind filming the two seasons back to back. As per the reports, Edebiri has become a bona fide star and is receiving plenty of opportunities. So, to avoid conflicting schedules, the production committee decided to film two seasons together. In other words, the team didn’t want to force anyone to shoot their scenes and leave in the first place.

The Bear Season 4 Cast: Who Will Return?

The series is based on Carmy’s struggle, who faces challenges while trying to run his family business. Since a lot has happened in the last season, we believe he will return to make things workable in The Bear Season 4. So, it’s safe to say that the Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White will return as Carmy. In addition to him, Ayo Edebiri will also return as Sydney, the leading actress in the comedy-drama. Besides them, we believe that other talented cast will also return.

FX

These include Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richie, Abby Elliott as Natalie/Sugar, and Liza Colon-Zayas as Tina. Other cast members include Matty Matheson as Neil Fak and Lionel Boyce as Marcus. While FX hasn’t revealed much about the guest stars and recurring characters’ details, we believe Oliver Platt as Jimmy “Cicero” Kalinowski will return in a recurring role. Molly Gordon as Claire Dunlap, Robert Townsend as Emmanuel Adamu, and Ricky Staffieri as Theodore “Teddy” Fak will also return.

Gillian Jacobs as Tiffany ‘Tiff” Jerimovich, Mitra Jouhari as Kelly, Will Poulter as Luca, and Jamie Lee Curtis as Donna Berzatto will return in the guest role. Olivia Colman as Chef Andrea Terry, Sarah Ramos as Jessica, and Andrew Lopez as Garrett will also return. Other recurring stars include Maura Kidwell as Carol, Bob Odenkirk as Uncle, and Josh Hartnett as Frank will also return.

The Bear Season 4: What Will Happen Next?

The third season finale concluded with a message “to be continued,” teasing the cliffhanger ending will be explored in the next season. That directly hints that The Bear Season 4 is happening. In the previous season, Sydney received an opportunity to uplift her career, which will be explored in the fourth season. The upcoming season will reveal whether Sydney will decide to stay at The Bear and sign a partnership agreement or leave the place.

FX/ Sydney leaving

She has already received a good opportunity as the former Ever chef Adam Shapiro has offered her a new job at his place. So, will she accept it? Meanwhile, the crew at The Bear Restaurant has no idea about The Chicago Tribune’s review. They have yet to deal with the aftermath of the published review. If things turn out worse, then The Bear Restaurant might lose its only investor, Cicero.

Apart from this, the team needs to change their work ethics to make profits. But with Carmy’s high standards and non-negotiable move, things will turn out to be dramatic for them. Meanwhile, The Bear Season 4 has yet to reveal whether Richie will visit his ex, who is ready to walk down the aisle.

FX/ Richie regrets his decision

This will open a door for Richie to start a new romance with someone else. As for Marcus, he’s currently working on a dessert. But it remains unclear whether it will turn out to be a masterpiece. In addition, it remains to be seen whether the series will show Carmy’s personal growth.

The Bear Season 4 Release Date

As mentioned above, the series has already entered production. That means it has already finished the filming and might be ready to return. However, FX has yet to make an official announcement. Typically, the show premieres the new season in June. If it sticks to this, we believe The Bear Season 4 will be released in June 2025. However, there’s a chance that the fourth season will air in the fall of 2024. We will update you shortly. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more updates.

Reacher Season 3 Release Date, Cast Changes, and Shocking Story Details

Reacher is undoubtedly the wildly popular series on Prime Video. With the seasons ruling the streaming charts, fans can rejoice as Reacher Season 3 is on its way to surprise you with gritty drama and murder mystery. The show has remained faithful to its source material. However, this season will bring a new perspective as Jack Reacher is getting worth fighting opponents.

With a thrilling storyline and never-before-seen drama, the show is gearing up to return to our screen sooner than later. So, without further ado, let’s see when Prime Video will return with Season 3 of Reacher.

Based on Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novel series, the show focuses on the former U.S. Army military police major who prefers to live as a drifter. However, his life takes a U-turn when he is accused of murder. Although he is freed, he later teams up with the police officers to uncover the mystery surrounding a local conspiracy involving corrupt politicians and a business tycoon. As the show progresses, it delves deeper into new missions and how Reacher solves the case.

Reacher Season 3 Is Officially Back

Reacher has remained one of the most popular Prime Video series since its debut in 2022. The show undoubtedly gained huge popularity for adapting Jack Reacher’s novel series by Lee Child. Since the novel series has its separate fandom, it didn’t take much time for the audience to tune into the show to watch their favorite character on screen.

So far, the show has gained positive reception from the audience as well as critics, which seems to have increased in the past two years. While the show has just returned with the second season, Prime Video has already shared the much-anticipated update. Before the second season’s premiere, the streaming platform renewed the show for another season.

Prime Video

That means Reacher Season 3. Unlike other series, which have to bear the uncertainty for several months before receiving a renewal announcement, Reacher received the third season way before. This shows Prime Video’s faith in the popular series. Why not? The show has remained the most talked-about series on the internet.

It has gained 8 stars out of 10 on IMDb and a 95% positive response on Rotten Tomatoes. This is enough to suggest that the series has performed incredibly well on the platform. In fact, Prime Video has also listed the show as one of the most-watched series on the streaming platform. Thus, it is a no-brainer why the show has been renewed for the next run.

Reacher Season 3 Production Is Underway

As soon as the show received another season, the series underwent production. As per the reports, Reacher Season 3 started filming earlier this year. Typically, the show takes three and a half months to finish filming, while post-production work takes six extra months to wrap up. Considering this, we believe the series has already wrapped up the filming work.

In fact, Alan Ritchson, who plays the titular character Jack Reacher, told The Tonight Show, which stars Jimmy Fallon, that filming is almost finished for the third season. Shortly then, a user @neilmorton on X, formerly known as Twitter, confirmed that filming was still underway on April 2023. The user shared that Alan Ritchson was spotted filming a few scenes in Millbrook, Ontario.

Although the snaps didn’t share much detail, they did suggest the third season was still in production. However, Ritchson revealed on July 2 that filming for Reacher Season 3 had concluded. He shared his transformation for the new role in “Motor City.” The actor also discussed the transition between playing the titular character in Reacher and Motor City.

While the filming has already been concluded and the show has entered the post-production stage, things aren’t great for the series. Variety reported on August 13 that Paramount decided to shut down Paramount Television Studios, its television studio. It later left many to wonder whether this would create complications for Reacher Season 3 since PTVS was the production studio behind the series.

However, you don’t have to fret. That’s because CBS Studios will now produce all the upcoming and ongoing series of PTVS. However, it might delay the series’ post-production work, pushing the release date.

Reacher Season 3 Cast Details

While it remains unclear whether the cast of the previous seasons will return, we can safely say that Alan Ritchson will return as the titular character Jack Reacher. Maria Sten will join him as Frances Neagley. However, it remains unclear who else will return. Since the show brings a new cast every season, fans can’t expect to see familiar faces.

However, the second season brought Malcolm Goodwin as Margrave PD Police Captain Oscar Finlay. But now it remains unclear whether he will return. The series showrunner Nick Santora also revealed in an interview that it isn’t worth expecting the former cast members to return. Reacher has already moved to the new location and said goodbye to those people, so there isn’t any chance for him to return.

Prime Video

However, two new faces are joining Reacher Season 3. These are Sonya Cassidy as DEA agent Susan Duffy and Anthony Michael Hall as Zachary Beck. Beck is the major antagonist of this season. So, we can expect him to create trouble for Reacher.

Besides them, Prime Video has confirmed that Brian Tee will join as Quinn, another antagonist. Johnny Berchtold will join as Beck’s son Richard. Meanwhile, Daniel David Stewart will play DEA agent Steven Elliot, and Roberto Montesinos will play DEA agent Guillermo Villanueva. The duo will work alongside Reacher and Duffy. The other cast includes Olivier Ritchters as Paul “Paulie” Masserella, Beck’s bodyguard.

Reacher Season 3: What To Expect Next?

Reacher Season 3 is all set to bring back the action and drama in its fans’ lives. It has already been announced that the third season will be based on Lee Child’s seventh novel “Persuader.” Since the series has remained true to its source material, we expect this season to bring more drama and fights to the screen. However, there’s a silver lining.

Reacher will work with the task force in the third season to help them take down a powerful drug kingpin. However, infiltrating his business and operation won’t be easy, especially when he knows how to deal with underworld crime. While Reacher fights his way to deal with Beck and his crime business, he will receive another task.

Prime Video/ Anthony Michael Hall as Beck

As per the source, Reacher is tasked with rescuing one of the undercover DEA Agents who has been working to uncover this organization. But he is about to lose his cover, so Reacher needs to hurry to rescue him. While the series has remained true to its source material, it will bring some changes again.

As avid readers know, the seventh book doesn’t feature Frances Neagley. However, the character has remained a prominent member since the beginning, and the cast details also share that Neagley will return. This is enough to suggest that the third season will change the storyline more.

Will Reacher Season 3 Be The Last?

No way! The third season won’t be the final season of the series. That’s because there are plenty of books left to be covered. Prime Video has just started its high-profile crime drama series, and it doesn’t seem like it will end the show in just three seasons. Plus, the series is based on Lee Child’s novel series. The book chronicles the misadventure of Jack Reacher. So far, it has 28 books and a collection of short stories.

Prime Video

Reacher series has remained true to its source material. But the show doesn’t follow the same order as the original books. Since there are 28 books available, and three of the novels have already been adapted, plenty of source material remains to be covered. This suggests that the show could continue with multiple seasons. Besides this, the show has remained one of the most popular shows on the streaming platform. Thus, it doesn’t seem like it will cancel the show with just three seasons.

Reacher Season 3 Release Date

As of now, Prime Video hasn’t yet shared the official release date of Reacher Season 3. The series was announced before the second season premiere and entered production earlier this year. Since the reports suggest that the show has already concluded its filming and might be in the post-production stage, it’s expected that the third season will be released later this year or in 2025. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

Dark Winds Season 3: CANCELLED? AMC Reveals The Series Fate

Dark Winds has remained an impressive series since its debut. However, with the second season wrapping up last year, fans have remained unclear whether the show will return with the third season. But you don’t need to fret. That’s because we have pleasant news regarding Dark Winds Season 3. The production committee has already released the much-needed updates on the third season and whether the team will return. The second season’s cliffhanger has already left the door open, but will AMC be looking to return? Let’s find out.

Based on Tony Hillerman’s novel series Leaphorn & Chee, the series follows the story of three Navajo Tribal Police officers: Jim Chee, Joe Leaphorn, and Bernadette Manuelito. Set in the 1970s, the trio tries to solve mysterious cases to bring justice to the citizens. While the series delves into the novel’s elements, there is ample source material to be delved into. The first season was based on “Listening Woman” and some elements of “People of Darkness.” Meanwhile, the second season was based on “People of Darkness.”

Dark Winds Season 3 Is Back

Dark Winds has remained a popular series on AMC since its debut. The series debuted back in June 2022 and did a great job. The network didn’t take much time to return with the series’ sophomore run in July 2023. While AMC remained the parent home for the series, the show was later added to Netflix on August 19, giving it global exposure. There’s no denying that the streaming giant was fruitful for the series as it boosted its performance on an international level.

AMC

Just three weeks after the series debut on Netflix, Dark Winds secured its position on the Global Top Ten, peaking at #8. While many AMC series performed well on the streaming giant, Dark Winds outpowered all the other series. Thus, fans are curious to know whether there will be Dark Winds Season 3. But you don’t have to fret. That’s because AMC announced the third season of Dark Winds a year ago. Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks said they have high hopes for the show.

Given the impressive source material and extraordinary creative team behind the series, they started this journey with high hopes. It was no surprise that the team delivered this on every level. AMC president also said that the creative team behind the series has done justice to the beloved novels. McDermott also thanked the creative team, which included George R. R. Martin, Robert Redford, showrunner John Wirth, and star Zahn McClarnon. He also thanked the incredible cast and crew for giving justice to the storyline.

Executive Producer Talks About New Season

Not only fans but the series executive producer is also glad to return with another season. The renewal announcement came several weeks after season 2’s finale concluded. The welcome news left many on their toes. However, the show’s executive producer, Chris Eyre, who also directed the second season’s finale, said there was more to tell. Eyre said, “I don’t feel like we’ve hit our stride with this series.” That means the story hasn’t concluded yet; there’s more to come.

AMC

The series creative producer also told TVLine that there is ample source material left to be explored. Hillerman’s source material is a collection of 18 volumes, which means there is ample source material left to be covered. This suggests that the story won’t end anytime soon, and Dark Winds can return for over three seasons. However, AMC has yet to discuss this. As of now, the show has only been renewed for the third season.

When Will Dark Winds Season 3 Enter Production?

Although the series was renewed for the third season in September 2023, before the conclusion of the Hollywood strikes, there’s no news of its production. According to the reports, the series has yet to undergo production. Filming typically takes six to seven months to wrap up. However, it remains unclear whether the scripting has been done. The production committee has yet to reveal which book they will adapt in the upcoming season. Since a lot of information has yet to be revealed, it remains unclear when the series will enter production.

Dark Winds Season 3 Cast Details

Without any doubt, it’s safe to say that the trio will return to reprise their roles. Zahn McClarnon will return as Joe Leaphorn, Kiowa Gordon as Jin Chee, and Jessica Matten as Bernadette. Besides them, it has been revealed that two new guest stars will join the series. These include Bruce Greenwood as Tom Spenser and Jenna Elfman as FBI Agent Sylvia Washington. The other cast members include Raoul Max Trujillo as Budge, Tonantzin Carmelo as Border Agent Eleanda Garza, and Alex Meraz as Border Agent Ivan Munos.

Netflix

Terry Serpico will join Dark Winds Season 3 as Border Patrol Senior Chief Ed Henry. Joining him will be Derek Hinkey as Shorty Bowlegs, Phil Burke as Michael Halsey, and Christopher Heyerdahl as Dr Reynolds. The third season will also see some recurring characters. These include Natalie Benally as Natalie Bluehouse, DezBaa’ as Helen Atcitty, and Ryan Begay as Guy Atcitty.

What To Expect Next In Dark Winds Season 3?

AMC has already revealed what will happen in Dark Winds Season 3, suggesting that the third season will offer a compelling mystery. The upcoming season will follow a six-month time jump, where Leaphorn and Chee will investigate a new mystery. It follows the disappearance of two young boys. However, this new case will be challenging for them as there is no evidence to help them. On the other hand, Bernadette struggles to find her place at the Border Patrol Agency.

However, during this process, she will discover a conspiracy involving trafficking. This will turn out to be an essential development in Dark Winds Season 3. However, it won’t only answer the finale’s loose threads correctly. In the second season’s finale, Leaphorn kills Vines, complicating his character development. Further, the series has yet to reveal the answer to his son’s death. A lot has yet to happen; however, how well the story will progress remains to be seen.

Dark Winds Season 3 Release Date

AMC

As mentioned above, the series hasn’t yet started filming. That means the show won’t return this year. Plus, the production committee has yet to reveal the filming details. The third season is expected to undergo production in the fall of 2024. Since filming will take six to seven months to wrap up, Dark Winds Season 3 will be released sometime in Q2 of 2025. It’s a tentative date. We will update you once we learn the official announcement. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

Wednesday Season 2 Released In 2025? Check Out The Latest Update!

Wednesday is returning! That’s right! Wednesday Season 2 is ready to take you on a spooky ride with Jenna Ortega and the rest of the cast. The first season debuted back in 2022 with a bang, creating its own place on Netflix. While the series craze is unmatched, the avid fans were disheartened when Wednesday went on a hiatus. However, things are finally going back to normal, indicating Wednesday Addams and her stalkers will return for good. But when? Keep reading to find this out!

Based on The Addams Family IP, the series explores the story of Wednesday Addams, whose life takes a U-turn when her parents enroll her at Nevermore Academy. Since the school is for monstrous outcasts, Wednesday struggles to find her way in the school because of her emotionless personality. However, things start to change when she connects with her schoolmates. As the series unfolds, it focuses on a murder mystery surrounding a mysterious monster who targets the students of Nevermore Academy.

Wednesday Season 2 Is Officially Renewed!

On January 6, 2023, Netflix surprised its fans as it renewed the popular spooky drama Wednesday for Season 2. Well, the renewal announcement came out as a no-brainer. That’s because the series became the most-watched English-language series on Netflix. In addition, it amassed 12 Emmy nominations. But it only won four for best costumes, makeup, original main title theme, and production design. Upon Wednesday Season 2 renewal, the streaming giant dropped a short announcement clip.

However, Netflix didn’t share much about the second season’s plotline. While Netflix hasn’t dropped more details, the renewal came as no surprise. The show was the second-biggest series in Netflix’s history. It has remained in the Global Top Ten for 91 days, holding a record at 1.72 billion watch hours. Not only this, but the series also remained in Nielson’s Top 10s for 14 weeks, holding the 412.08 million watch hours record.

As soon as the series renewed, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the series co-creators, said they were glad to create a show that connected with a global audience. Now that they are returning with Wednesday Season 2, they are thrilled to continue the journey of this emotionless, torturous Wednesday Addams. The creators also said they can’t wait to explore the spooky world of Nevermore.

When Will Wednesday Season 2 Production Begin?

While the show was renewed for the second season in 2023, it went on hiatus for almost a year. That’s because of the dual Hollywood strikes in 2023, which slowed down the production of several American series, including Wednesday. However, you don’t have to fret now. Filming is underway. As per the reports, Wednesday Season 2 entered production in late April 2024. The filming will take place in Ireland, which was first scheduled to be filmed in Romania.

Netflix

Although the series was scheduled to undergo production in late April, it eventually started filming in early May 2024. As soon as the production began, Miles Millar and Al Gough said they were thrilled that the entire Addams family would enroll in Nevermore Academy. The co-creators also confirmed that Wednesday Season 2 would return with a dream cast of icons and new faces. According to the reports, the second season will wrap up filming on November 20, 2024. However, this date can be pushed.

Wednesday Season 2 Cast Details

There’s no denying that there won’t be another season without Jenna Ortega. So, undoubtedly, she will return as the titular character, Wednesday Addams. In addition, Riki Lindhome as Dr Valeria Kinbott, Jamie McShane as Sheriff Donovan Galpin, and Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin will also return. The other cast members include Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe, Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair, Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Otinger, Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay, and Georgie Farmer as Ajax Petropolous.

Besides them, we can also expect Naomi J. Ogawa as Yoko Tanaka, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzman as Gomez Addams, Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester, and Victor Dorobantu as Thing. George Burcea as Lurch and Issac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams will also return. However, since Gwendoline Christie’s Larissa Weems died in the first season, it doesn’t seem like she will return. But she can return in the form of a flashback. As for Percy Hynes White, his departure is because of the ongoing sexual assault allegations investigations.

Netflix

Wednesday Season 2 will also include some new cast members. These include Steve Buscemi as the new principal, Billie Piper as a new music teacher, Evie Templeton as Annie, and Owen Painter as Karloff. However, Noah Taylor’s role has remained under wrap. As for the new guest stars, Joanna Lumley will be the grandmama, Thandiwe Netwon will be Dr. Fairburn, and Heather Matarazzo will be Joanna. Christopher Lloyd, Joonas Suotamo, Haley Joel Osment, and Frances O’Connor will also join the guest role. However, their roles have yet to be revealed.

Wednesday Season 2: What To Expect Next?

The first season ended with Wednesday receiving a brand-new phone from Xavier. However, things turned dramatic when she received multiple ominous messages hinting at her first stalker. It remained unclear who sent her such messages. While it all points to Xavier’s direction, Wednesday’s first stalker could be someone else. Wednesday Season 2 will indeed delve into this angle.

However, it’s highly likely that this someone is ready to create a mess in Addams’ life. Besides this, the end credit scene focuses on Tyler’s fate. It showed that he was tied in chains and was about to be sent to a security prison. However, before the team could transport him, Tyler transformed into his Hyde form and killed the guards.

Netflix

Now that he’s on the loose, it’s highly likely that he will create more trouble down the road. He will turn out to be more dangerous as he blames Wednesday for his condition. The second season will also reveal who will become the next principal.

While many believe the new principal will be Morticia Addams, it is expected that she might turn down the opportunity. Although the reason will remain unclear, the cast list hints at someone else acquiring the position. As for Nevermore Academy, it will return with new teachers. However, since it’s a spooky drama Wednesday Season 2 will indeed bring back another monstrous villain.

Wednesday Season 2 Release Date

As of now, Wednesday Season 2 is currently in production. The series is scheduled to wrap up filming this November. However, the post-production work will take some time to conclude. That means it’s hard for the show to return this year. Guess what? Netflix has revealed that the second season is a part of the 2025 schedule and won’t return this year. Although the streaming giant has yet to announce the official release date, we will update you. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2: Gets November Release Date

After a year-long break, Yellowstone is ready to return with new episodes. With four and a half seasons revolving around John Dutton and his family saga, Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 is ready to bring some changes. Since the series debuted, Kevin Costner has been the face of the show. However, the signature series of the Paramount Network has now decided to return without Costner. You read that right! The series is returning with a twist. Taylor Sheridan and John Linson have found a replacement for Costner.

The series is a neo-Western drama revolving around the Dutton family saga. John Dutton and his family oversee the largest cattle ranch in Montana. However, the family faces several challenges from the ranch borderers, who aim to acquire the land. This leads to creating complications for the family. As the series progresses, it shows John’s struggle to maintain peace as his family starts to tear apart. Now that Costner is ready to exit the series, the Dutton family saga is about to enter a new territory. So, let’s see how things will move in Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2.

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2: Kevin Costner Announces His Exit

Costner has been a huge part of Yellowstone since the beginning of the show. However, Sheridan announced that the show would return without the actor, leaving many with several questions. While their ongoing battle has remained the main reason, Costner has revealed that he won’t return. Costner took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to announce his exit.

In a lengthy note, he wrote, “I’m not going to be able to continue Season 5B.” In fact, the actor won’t return for the future developments. However, he emphasized that the series has changed him a lot. There’s no denying that Yellowstone has a soft corner in his heart. However, he wants to move ahead. Costner departed with the series a year ago to work on his new project, Horizon: An American Saga.

The latest project received positive acclaim from the audience as well as critics. It hit theatres in June and received praise at the Cannes Film Festival. While the movie plays a huge role in Costner’s life, the ongoing battle with Yellowstone’s showrunner has created a tense air between them.

Paramount Network

During an interview, Costner shed light on his feud with Sheridan. He shared that things went south due to the schedule conflict and a new contract negotiation. However, the worst part was that none of his former co-stars defended him. In fact, he was solely blamed for his filming schedule for Horizon: An American Saga, which further strained their relationship.

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Teaser Hints At John’s Replacement

Paramount released the Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 trailer in late August 2024, which hints at John Dutton’s replacement. The trailer solely focuses on Rip Weeler’s (Cole Hauser) story arc and how he becomes one of the prominent parts of the show. It begins with Rip carrying a rifle as he enters the Dutton Ranch. While he says nothing in the trailer, the text reads, “Generations of blood have led to this.”

Based on the clip, it seems like Rip will become John Dutton III’s successor. Since Rip and John follow the same ideology, it will be okay to give him such a major role. Both are fierce, and only Rip can fit in John’s shoes. While the trailer hasn’t yet revealed much about Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, it did suggest the theme will surround a fierce battle between Duttons.

The series dropped another teaser trailer titled “Generations.” The clip indicates the feud between Jamie and Beth. The latter suggests that she’s in control and will take back what belongs to her. While the series hasn’t revealed how they will fill John’s exit, it does suggest fans will witness his demise.

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Is Under Production

In May 2024, the cast and crew shared that they were ready to start filming for the second half of the fifth season. As per the reports, Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 has begun filming in Montana. The series released the first-look photos, suggesting they are still in production. But don’t fret. The show is nearing to wrap up the production work. That’s because the series has already announced the release date of the second part. That means the show is in its post-production phase and will soon conclude things.

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2: Cast Details

The series has remained Paramount Network’s signature series, while Kevin Costner has remained the show’s face. However, the actor will not return as John Dutton. As per the official cast list of Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, Luke Grimes will return as Kayce Dutton. Joining him will be Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton, Wes Bentley as Jamie Dutton, and Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler. In addition, Kelsey Asbille as Monica Long Dutton and Brecken Merrill as Tate Dutton will also return.

Paramount Network

Jefferson White will return as Jimmy Hurdstram, Forrie J. Smith will play Lloyd Pierce, and Denim Richards will play Colby Mayfield. Other cast members include Ian Bohen as Ryan, Finn Little as Carter, Gil Birmingham as Chief Thomas Rainwater, and Ryan Bringham as Walker. Jen Landon as Teeter and Kathryn Kelly as Emily will also join the series. Fans can also expect some new faces. However, the production committee has yet to announce the details of the new cast members.

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2: What Will Happen Next?

Since Kevin Costner won’t return as John Dutton, how things will be played off in the second part of the fifth season remains unclear. With Costner not returning for even one scene, it seems like his character will face a dramatic ending. Given that the first half of Yellowstone Season 5 witnessed the animosity between John and his son Jamie, it seems like Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 will focus on John’s demise. Both father and son schemed to eliminate each other in the finale.

So, there’s a chance Jamie has succeeded in eliminating John. With the family patriarch’s exit, things will turn more violent as John’s children fight over the Dutton business empire, and the power struggle will take a dramatic turn. Beth is already on the losing end and will threaten Jamie to back out. However, it doesn’t seem like Jamie will hear her words. On the other hand, Kayce will find new allies to win Dutton’s empire.

The teaser also shared that Rip has now entered the Dutton’s ranch. This means he will go to every extent to protect the Dutton’s ranch. He might try to end this sibling battle since he has remained loyal to the family. But it doesn’t seem like this will be played out. Rip might join hands with Beth to take control of the entire ranch. The succession war will take an intense turn when the political angle enters the picture. Will things end like this? Only time will tell.

Is Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 The Final Season?

Absolutely not! Paramount Network is ready to return with its flagship drama with more seasons. While many believed the series would end with the fifth season, it wouldn’t happen. That’s because Taylor Sheridan’s hit series has been confirmed to return with another season. That’s right!

Yellowstone Season 6 is underway. The show is ready to continue the story past Season 5B. However, the series won’t revolve around the Dutton family. The Dutton family saga will wrap up with Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2. As per the reports, the show’s next instalment will focus on a new family.

Paramount Network

While little is known about the series, the sixth season is currently in the scripting phase. Sheridan hasn’t yet discussed anything about the sixth season but has revealed that the show will focus on a new family. There’s a chance that it might bring some former characters back to the drama, which is yet to be disclosed.

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Release Date

Paramount Network recently confirmed that the show is gearing up for its release. According to reports, Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 will be released on Sunday, November 10, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The show will follow the weekly release pattern, dropping five episodes each Sunday. Viewers in Canada can stream the series on Paramount Plus. Meanwhile, the UK audience can watch the show on November 11. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

The Tyrant Season 2: Disney+ Hints At Potential Sequel!

After four action-packed and thrilling episodes, fans are clamoring to see the unstoppable director Choe back in The Tyrant Season 2. The series was undoubtedly a massive hit once it landed on Disney+. Well, the streaming platform has become the home to several superhero K-dramas. Now, fans wonder whether Disney+ will return with another season of Tyrant. That’s because the series ended on a cryptic note, leaving many to wonder about the fate of the “tyrant” virus. Will it turn out to be fruitful for the South Korean army? Let’s find out.

The show, written by Park Hoon Jung, focuses on an undercover operation called The Tyrant Project. The South Korean government planned to create a bioweapon that could help them enhance human abilities like superheroes. However, after learning about this, the US demanded the quick termination of the program. Despite that, Director Choe decided to work on this virus secretly. He even refused to hand over the virus to the US government. This led to a series of events that caused trouble for Director Choe.

The Tyrant Season 2: Is It Renewed Yet?

The Tyrant debuted back on August 14, 2024, with a bang. The series released four episodes on Disney+, leaving the viewers on their toes. As the story progressed, it delved deeper into the “tyrant” virus and how it could greatly affect humans. With a captivating storyline, the series left the viewers clamoring for more. However, neither Disney+ nor the production committee has announced The Tyrant Season 2. Typically, the decision takes a couple of months.

Disney+

However, considering its wide popularity, we expect the streaming platform will soon make a decision. In addition, Walt Disney Company Korea revealed on August 30 that the series was the most-watched on Disney+ Korea for 12 days shortly after its release. In fact, the series ranked first on the streaming platform FlixPatrol for three days in Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, K-drama was among the top five in Singapore and Taiwan. Despite that, the series hasn’t been renewed for another season. But don’t fret! The streaming platform hasn’t canceled the series, which means The Tyrant Season 2 is still possible. As of now, Disney+ hasn’t revealed the viewership data, so we expect the series to make an announcement soon. That’s because the series ended on a cliffhanger, leaving a door open for season 2.

The Tyrant Finale Hints At Season 2

The series ended with two interesting storylines, hinting at The Tyrant Season 2. The storyline revolved around the superhuman “tyrant” virus and the future of South Korea’s military forces. Despite the US demand to terminate the bioweapons program, Director Choe continued to work on the virus as he believed it could be fruitful for their army.

However, as the series unfolded, things turned gray for Choe and his team. It became challenging to safeguard the superhuman “tyrant” virus. While Director Choe played a significant role in the development of the “tyrant” virus, he ended up shooting himself at the end of the series. It remained unclear why he took that step.

Disney+

However, many believe that The Tyrant Season 2 will explore the storyline. It will also reveal Choe’s connection to the development of the virus and whether he is affected by it. There’s a high chance that Choe is affected by the virus and will indeed return.

His return can play a huge role as he knows a lot about the virus. Plus, he wants to create an army of superhumans and will be surprised to learn the backstory of Chae Ja-gyeong. Her story arc is left to play a significant part in The Tyrant Season 2. However, how things will be played off remains unclear.

Chae Ja-Gyeong’s Backstory Will Be Explored

Ja Gyeong played the daughter of Mr. Chae, who has split personality disorder. However, the fourth episode hinted that the “tyrant” virus could infect Ja Gyeong. The finale revealed that director Choe discovered Ja Gyeong’s body was infected with the virus. Surprisingly, despite being infected by the virus, she was in control and retained her human nature.

While it remained unclear when she got infected, the ending credit revealed that she was infected when she was a kid. The flashback featured a little Ja Gyeong, who arrived at Mr. Chae’s shop in the night. As the series unfolded, it showed that Mr. Chae adopted her because she was an orphan. While Mr. Chae did not know about Ja Gyeong’s infection, it was revealed that she got infected before meeting Chae.

Disney+

That was why she was able to control her physical injuries and survived the gunshots. While it remains unclear how she got infected, it seems like The Tyrant Season 2 can explain the reason. The upcoming season can also explain how Ja Gyeong met Director Choi and how she could play a huge part in his experiment.

As the show has just picked a pace, there’s a possibility that the series can explore more storylines, which might focus on the army of superhumans. Will Director Choe’s dream come true? Only time will tell.

The Tyrant Season 2 Cast Details

As of now, the streaming platform hasn’t yet announced the renewal of The Tyrant Season 2. However, we expect the series to make an announcement soon. That’s because the series received positive acclaim. Also, it’s the most-watched series. So we expect season 2 will happen. If this is the case, then the entire cast will return. Cha Seung Won will return as Lim Sang, and Kim Kang Woo as Paul.

Jo Yoon Su as Chae Ja Gyeong will return as well. Her return will play a significant role, as the first season’s finale hinted at her major role in the upcoming installment. However, director Choe (played by Kim Seon Ha) killed himself at the end of the first season. This left many to wonder whether the mastermind behind the mission would return.

Disney+

There’s a possibility that he would return, as there wouldn’t be a second season without him. He might return in the form of a flashback or a superhuman who got infected by the virus. As of now, things remain under wrap. But we will update you. Besides them, there’s a possibility that the show will return with some supporting cast members.

The cast details have yet to be announced. However, Mu Jin Sung can return as Yeon Mo Yong, with Kim Joo Hun as Director Sa. Lee Ki Young can join the cast of The Tyrant Season 2 as the First Vice Director. Since Ja Gyeong will play a major role in the second season, we believe her adoptive father, Lee Sung Min, can return as well. The series can also introduce some new faces as superhumans.

The Tyrant Season 2 Release Date

As we have said before, the series hasn’t yet been renewed. However, a rep of Walt Disney Korea has shared that it has been one of the most-watched series on the platform. So we believe they might return with positive news sooner or later. If that’s the case, the series might undergo production later this year. Filming typically takes six to seven months to conclude.

Disney+

Since the cast members are currently busy with their scheduled work, we believe The Tyrant Season 2 will be released in the fall of 2025. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

Crash Season 2: Boss Teases Filming Is Underway, Releasing In 2025

Starring Kwak Sun-Young and Lee Min-Ki, the crime K-drama Crash is now all set to entertain you once again. That’s right! The creator and director recently released the much-anticipated update regarding Crash Season 2. Since the show aired on ENA, it has dropped several dynamic episodes exploring the various traffic crime cases, which kept the fans on their toes. With such a premise, the audience is now rooting for more seasons. But will they get another season of Crash? Let’s find out!

The series, written by Oh Soo Jin, follows a traffic investigation department TCI. It delves deeper into the investigation, tracking the criminals on bumpy roads while following the traffic rules and regulations. As the team explores several murder mysteries and dramatic cases, they find themselves at a crossroads when the deputy commissioner announces his decision. AStory produced the series, which ran for 12 episodes, exploring the intensity of crime and more.

Crash Season 2 Is Finally Back!

The first season of Crash debuted in May 2024 and quickly gained a place in its fans’ hearts. Since the series started broadcasting on ENA and streaming platforms, it has shown a steady increase in ratings. The pilot episode earned 2.232% of ratings, which later increased in the fourth episode. From the fourth episode, the ratings gradually increased, with the finale gaining 6.619%.

ENA

With such an amazing performance, it’s a no-brainer why the production committee decided to return with Crash Season 2. The renewal announcement came in mid-August when the series writer Oh Soo-Jin stated that Season 2 would focus on the chemistry between the TCI team members. Soo Jin added that the second season of Crash would be a blast as it will explore the colorful stories of Namgang Police Station’s staff.

The characters’ backstory will play a huge role in Crash Season 2. Fans will be delighted with a more fantastic storyline. That’s because the second season “Will cover more diverse traffic crime cases.” Thus, it seems like the show will focus entirely on introducing a new and developed storyline, engaging fans to their core.

ENA

Besides this, we can also expect some romantic angles in the next season. A lot happened in the previous season, so there’s a possibility that Crash Season 2 will bring back the angles again, delving deeper into the magnetic storyline and bond between TCI team members.

Director Expressed Gratitude To The Audience

As soon as the renewal announcement came, the series director, Park Joon-Woo, expressed his gratitude to his fans. He said, “Thanks to the support of our viewers.” He also said they will work hard to make Crash a long-running series. Since it’s one of its kind, it delves deeper into the traffic control police cases, which are not a part of any crime show yet.

So, it will be a pleasure to delve into such an angle. Plus, Park Joon-Woo shared that they would work on creating more diverse episodes with Korean-style season investigation. In addition, according to the stats, the show made history this year. The first season of Crash had the second-highest viewership rating in ENA’s history.

ENA

That’s right! The K-drama has been highly popular as it has explored the dark side of traffic violation-related cases. Also, the show has left a door open for Crash Season 2, which can reveal the fate of the TCI team, as massive changes were made in the season’s finale. So, be ready to witness some dramatic changes.

Crash Season 2: Production Started

While fans are delighted with the renewal news, the production company behind the series, ASTORY, also confirmed another news. On August 21, the production company confirmed the production of Crash Season 2. That means the show has already undergone production. K-dramas typically take six to seven months to wrap up production, so it’s likely that the series will soon announce more production updates.

As for ASTORY, it doesn’t share many details of Crash Season 2. However, it’s safe to guess that the show entered the writing phase. The scriptwriting work will take almost a couple of months to finish up the writing work. However, the busy schedule of the cast might play a major role in delaying production.

ENA

Lee Min Ki is currently busy working on the new movie Three Days, and Kwak Sun Young is currently shooting her movie Lobby. This might delay the production of Season 2 of Crash. But we will update you shortly about the production details.

Crash Season 2 Cast Details

Although the production committee hasn’t shared who will return for Crash Season 2, we expect the entire TCI team to join the season. These include Lee Min Ki as Cha Yeon Ho, Kwak Sun Young as Min So Hee, and Heo Sung Tae as Jeong Chae Man. In addition, Lee Ho Chul will return as Woo Dong Gi, and Moonhee will join as Eo Hyeon Gyeong. The audience can also expect to see some supporting characters to return.

These include Heo Jung Do as Pyo Myung Hak, Kang Ki Doong as Pyo Jung Wook, and Oh Eui Shik as Lee Tae Joo. Bek Hyun Jin can also return as Gu Kyung Soo. However, it remains unclear whether the YSC Group CEO will return. We can expect Lee Yoo Jun to play Yang Seok Chan if he does. The second season will also feature some fresh faces and introduce new criminal cases.

Crash Season 2: What To Expect Next?

The scriptwriter has yet to reveal what to expect from Crash Season 2. However, we can expect the entire TCI team to return to solve new mysteries and traffic violations. In the final episode of the first season, deputy police commissioner Pyo Myung Hak dissolved TCI. The team leader and other members were set to different units. TCI member Yeon Ho was later sent to Hwapyeong Island, where he started working on a case of a missing teenage girl.

ENA

As the episode unfolded, he contacted his former members to help him out with this case. As things progressed, it was revealed that the village leader and his other companions were involved in the case of this missing girl. Things took a dramatic turn when the village leader and his helper concocted a plan to divert the investigation.

However, the TCI team members decided to trick the culprits and revealed that a technician would soon arrive and track the missing girl Seunga’s whereabouts using her wireless earbuds. This left the village leader and his minion in dismay, and they rushed to dig the body in the mountain graveyard. As they dug the body, the investigation team caught them red-handed and revealed they just tricked the village leader.

ENA

It was later revealed that the group kidnapped Seunga after they killed her friend in a hit-and-drive case. They also planned to bury Seunga, beside her friend’s body, alive. But it didn’t happen. As the team resolved the case, the group received promotions and awards, and the National Office of Investigation restored TCI.

Crash Season 2 Release Date

As of now, it doesn’t seem like the show will return this year. That’s because the actors are currently working on their upcoming projects. So, this might delay the production of Crash Season 2. Considering that filming might take time to wrap up, we believe the second season of Crash will be released sometime in 2025. However, there’s a possibility that it can return sooner rather than later. We will update you, so don’t worry. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

Your Honor Season 3: Is It Renewed Yet?

Unfortunately, Your Honor Season 3 hasn’t been renewed yet. The series debuted back in December 2020 with a bang, leaving fans on their toes. There’s no denying that because the series is one of a kind. However, the show was intended to be a one-season miniseries. But things changed. With its phenomenal narration, the series was later renewed for a second season in August 2021. But it took almost two years to return with its sophomore run.

Showtime

With the second season’s conclusion, fans are now clamoring for Your Honor Season 3. But will it ever happen? The series remained Showtime’s signature series until May 2024. In late May 2024, the drama became part of the Netflix streaming list, gaining huge popularity and surpassing Bridgerton. As soon as the series became part of the giant streaming platform, it remained in the top ten list. The first season remained in the Global Top Ten English list for 11 weeks in the United States.

Meanwhile, the second season remained in the Global Top Ten for seven weeks in the United States. In fact, the drama surpassed Bridgerton for the No. 1 spot in July 2024. Thus, it made many believe the streaming giant might return with Your Honor Season 3. However, Netflix hasn’t yet renewed the series or commented on the third season.

Will There Be A Season 3 Of Your Honor?

Although the show hasn’t been renewed for another season, Cranston told Deadline that Your Honor Season 3 is possible. During an interview in April 2023, the actor stated, “There is some discussion.” Showtime is interested in returning with another season, and they are proud to know that the viewership and watch hours have increased in every episode.

Showtime/ Bryan Cranston hints at Your Honor Season 3

Cranston has also shared that they are happy to produce more seasons. While the Breaking Bad actor is interested in returning, it doesn’t seem like his character will be a part of the third season. In the interview, Cranston expressed that his role as Desiato has already explored his fate in the second season. He has lost his child and has already grieved on his loss.

He is serving his sentence in prison, and it doesn’t seem like more is left for him to explore in Your Honor Season 3. Cranston added that Showtime has already explored all the possibilities of how a grieving father could act. So, if that’s the case, it doesn’t seem like he will return. This might be the end of the series. But wait! There’s more.

CBS President Hints At Your Honor Season 3

While Bryan Cranston hinted he might not return, CBS Studios president David Stapf shared their enthusiasm for Your Honor Season 3. During an interview in July 2024, David said he is willing to return with the third season. He said, “We love the show,” and they are hoping to continue the series. However, it doesn’t seem like the show could return this year.

Showtime

That’s because David mentioned that although they want to return with the third season, they think that season 3 is a ways away. As of now, there’s no official news about season 3 of Your Honor. However, the chances are more to return with Your Honor Season 3 because there has been talk about the next season. So, the creator might return with the third season this year or later. We will update you as soon as we learn about the official announcement.

Your Honor Season 3: What To Expect Next?

The second season finale saw Desiato’s involvement in underground crime. Although he confessed his crime to Detective Costello and was in prison, his attorney, Olivia Delmont, mapped a plan to protect him from Baxter’s wrath. She proposed sending the former judge behind bars for tax evasion. Since it could protect him from Baxter, the mob boss would never figure out that Desiato was the mastermind behind his son’s death.

However, things turned upside down as Desiato was released from prison and got involved in more chaos. Desiato struggled to deal with his past and present as the drama unfolded. When the former judge was forced to testify at Eugene’s trial for his son’s murder, he spilled everything. He shared that his son, Adam, killed Baxter’s son in a car accident.

So, to cover everything, he created a web of lies, which ultimately led to Kofi’s death. While Desiato revealed everything, Baxter found himself in a complicated situation. He was shot and later hospitalized. That was because his wife Gina convinced her father—a high-ranking mob boss—to deal with Baxter.

But she concocted the plan in such a way that she left her father behind bars, leaving everything in her control. Now that Gina is in control, Your Honor Season 3 might focus on her storyline and how she avenges Desiato, who’s behind bars. The next season might also explore Desiato’s journey in prison and how he deals with Gina’s father.

Your Honor Season 3 Cast Details

If the show returns, we expect Bryan Cranston to return as well. However, he has already mentioned that his character might not be the center of Your Honor Season 3. So, it remains unclear whether Cranston will return as Michael Desiato or not. Besides him, Hope Davis will definitely return as Gina Baxter as her storyline has just picked a momentum. Michael Stuhlbarg can also return as Jimmy Baxter, with Mark Margolis as Carmine Conti. It remains unclear who else will return. But we can expect some new members to join the show.

Your Honor Season 3 Release Date

Showtime

As of now, the show hasn’t been renewed yet. Thus, it doesn’t seem like the show will return this year. Plus, the actors are busy with their other projects, so filming will only take place once they wrap up their pipeline project. Considering this, we can expect the production will take a year to finish. If this is the case, then Your Honor Season 3 might take a year or two to return. Fans can probably see that in 2026. That is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more updates.
