When will A Series of Unfortunate Events season 3 be released on Netflix?

As season two has yet to air, no official released date has been announced for the third run yet.

However, one of the show’s stars and producers Harris confirmed that the series would indeed by back for season three but it will be the last season of the series. 

“We're three seasons all in,” he told TV Guide.

Netflix has yet to confirm Harris’ comments on a season three renewal. 

The first season was released in January 2017 and the follow up will be released in March 2018. 

So it is highly likely the third season will get a spring 2019 release.

What will happen in A Series of Unfortunate Events season 3?

The show is very true to the original books in the A Series of Unfortunate Events series.

There are 13 books in total - the first season adapted the first four books - and the second will be based on books five to nine.

Season three will adapt the final four books which are titled The Slippery Slope, The Grim Grotto, The Penultimate Peril and The End.

Speaking about the Netflix show, Harris said: “We've intentionally been very truthful and factual and loyal to the books.”

The How I Met Your Mother actor added: “We've added a few characters that aren't in the books, we've added some songs that you probably couldn't put into the books, but for the most part we're sticking to the structure of what already worked.”
