When Will The Great Season 3 Come Out

Ah, The Great! A show so ridiculously funny, so historically…flexible, and so dripping with fabulous costumes, it’s no wonder we’re all clamoring for more. The burning question on everyone's lips (besides, "Did Catherine really do that?") is: When oh when will Season 3 grace our screens?

The Royal Rumor Mill

Unfortunately, there's no official decree from Empress Catherine herself (or, you know, Hulu) just yet. The production timelines are often shrouded in more secrecy than a royal conspiracy to overthrow Peter. Figuring out release dates is more art than science!

We can, however, play royal detective. Let's consider past seasons as our clues. Season 1 debuted in May 2020, followed by Season 2 in November 2021. Notice a pattern? Not really, it's all over the place.

The gap between seasons was roughly 18 months. This gives us some faint hope that the new season is coming sometime in 2023 or early 2024.

Factors Affecting the Wait

Several things could be influencing the wait. Big productions like The Great require meticulous planning. Think about all those gorgeous sets, elaborate costumes, and the star-studded cast schedules!

Then there’s the writing process. The writers of The Great aren't just churning out historical dramas. They’re crafting a comedic masterpiece that bends history in the most delightful and surprising ways. That takes time and a whole lot of imagination!

Of course, the unexpected can always happen. Remember how a certain pandemic threw a wrench in everything? Production delays are sadly a reality in the entertainment world.

While We Wait, Huzzah! (and Binge-Watching)

Fear not, dear subjects! The wait doesn't have to be torture. There are plenty of ways to fill the Great-sized hole in our hearts.

First, there's the obvious: Re-watch seasons 1 and 2! Seriously, you'll catch new jokes and details you missed the first time around. It's like discovering a hidden treasure in the royal vault.

Dive into some real Russian history (with a grain of salt, of course!). Learning about the real Catherine the Great can be surprisingly fascinating, even if the show takes some major liberties.

Or, explore similar shows. If you love the historical setting and the witty writing, check out other period comedies. There are countless options to choose from!

You can also re-watch The Favourite, a historical comedy with a very similar dark humor. It will keep you entertainted until The Great is back on screen!

Hope on the Horizon

While we don't have a definite release date, there's every reason to believe that The Great Season 3 is indeed on its way. Hulu has not officially cancelled the show.

The show is a critical darling and has a devoted fanbase. These are good signs that the story of Catherine and Peter (and everyone else caught in their delightfully dysfunctional orbit) will continue.

So, stay tuned! Keep an eye on social media, entertainment news sites, and maybe even send a strongly worded (but polite) letter to Hulu. Eventually, the royal word will come down, and we'll all be celebrating the return of The Great. Huzzah!
