‘In the Dark’ season 3: Series renewed for final installment; Filming schedule, plot, cast and release date prediction

“In the Dark” season 3 is happening as it was renewed in May. Its co-creator, Baran Boodar, announced the show’s return and stated that it would be the last run. The renewal of season 2 was said to be quite surprising as no one expected that it would be one of the most popular original series on Netflix.

The show debuted in 2017, and the sci-fi thriller gained viewers as the episodes go by. On the detail that it will be ending in the third season, Boodar explained that since the beginning, it was their plan to have just three installments, so it is confirmed that “In the Dark” season 3 will present the final episodes.

Third season finale

On his social media, the series’ co-creator relayed that they have already reached the finale and working on it. “It‘s official! We are working on Dark Season 3,” he wrote. “It is the final cycle of this great journey. We always had three seasons in mind when we developed Dark and are happy to tell you that we will start shooting the third and final season in 4 weeks so we can deliver you guys the final chapter of Dark next year.”

“In the Dark” season 3 will still feature German cast like the first two chapters. It is also expected to have more viewers since the story is ending and the audience has to know where the whole storyline will lead them.

What will happen in the next episodes?

Season 2’s finale showed Jonas (Louis Hofmann) traveling to another dimension. He was brought to a world that tells the story according to this now-dead girlfriend Martha (Lisa Vicari). “In the Dark” season 3 will show how the lead traveler lived when his ex was still alive. Plus, it was mentioned that the focus on this installment would change to the other main character - Ulrich.

"We’re going to see a bit more about grown Ulrich also the same as we did in Season 2 where we put a little bit focus on different characters like Claudia and Egon, we're going to do the same in Season 3 and call some people up that had smaller parts," co-creator Jantje Friese told Indiewire in a separate interview.
