Despite little information confirmed about the new season, Rafe has provided a little teaser for fans.

“The first 15 minutes of season three is one of the most bonkers set pieces I’ve ever seen on television,” he told Deadline.

“I was just watching it this week, and it is absolutely bananas what our team pulled off … just a bunch of women in their 40s and 50s shredding each other, and it is wonderful to behold.”

When will season three release?

In March 2024, a special video of the cast was shared to X (previously Twitter) with the announcement that filming had officially wrapped.

“Thank the Light, we’re done filming Season 3,” the caption read.

The executive producer described S3 as “bonkers.”
