The Great, developed by Tony McNamara, is a satirical historical black comedy-drama series. The Hulu series is obliquely based on Catherine the Great’s (not so) meteoric rise to power as Empress of All Russia.
McNamara, Elle Fanning, Marian Macgowan, Brittany Kahan Ward, Doug Mankoff, Andrew Spaulding, Josh Kesselman, Ron West, and Matt Shakman all contributed to the show as executive producers.
Season one premiered on May 15, 2020, season two on November 19, 2021, and season three was renewed in January 2022.
How about a release date for season three? Exactly what happens? Who, if any, from the original cast will be returning? Continue reading if you want to find out more.
The Great Season 3 Cast
The first season is based on some actual events from the reigns of Catherine the Great and Peter the Great of Russia. Catherine, a country girl from the provinces, marries the new Tsar Peter in the hopes of asserting her authority as queen.
The death of Catherine’s mother and a number of uglier facts lie beneath the surface of the second season, which is a total farce with no basis in reality.
Top-notch comedy and dramatic action from the 18th century surround these ideas. No doubt, Season 3 will take up where the last two left off, with viewers on the edge of their seats and a plethora of unanswered questions.
Elle Fanning, Nicholas Hoult, Gillian Anderson, Jason Isaacs, Pheobe Fox, Belinda Bromilow, Charity Wakefield, Gwilym Lee, Adam Godley, Douglas Hodge, and Sacha Dhawan are among the key cast for the upcoming season.
The Third Season Is About to Be Released, and It’s Fantastic
The third and final season of The Great is expected to premiere on November 18, 2022. A division of Paramount Pictures, Paramount Global Distribution Group is responsible for making the show.
It’s possible that the upcoming season will include 10 episodes, the same as the past two. It’s anticipated that further information will be made public soon.
Is Season 3 of “The Great” in the Works?
When the third season of The Great will premiere is still up in the air, and Hulu has not said. Hulu didn’t announce season 2 of The Great’s renewal until 2 months after the first season aired, so there’s no reason to worry just yet.
The showrunners confirmed that they had pitched the series for six seasons, which includes the cliffhanger finale, so they are open to filming more. Creator Tony McNamara claims there will be enough storylines and characters for the show to continue airing well into Catherine’s old age.
Hulu’s decision on whether or not to renew The Great for a third season will ultimately be determined on the show’s viewership numbers from season 2.
In the event that The Great is renewed for a third season, its premiere date is unlikely to come before late 2022, and could even slip into the middle or end of 2023 due to widespread production delays brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
When will season three of “The Great” begin, and what will happen then?
The plot of a potential third season of The Great has not been revealed, although it would most likely pick up right where the second season left off, perhaps with another time jump like the first two seasons did.
Following Catherine’s attempted murder of Peter in Season 2, Season 3 of The Great will have to demonstrate whether or not their relationship is healthy.
Catherine’s imprisonment of so many nobility will undoubtedly have consequences, and it is unclear what her goal was beyond the first arrest.
The new war with the Ottoman Empire is predicted to further challenge Catherine’s reign over Russia, and if she is unable to free the serfs, she may face an uprising similar to the Pugachev Rebellion.
