The Great Season 3: Release Date, Plot and more!

Created by Tony McNamara, The Great is a historical and satirical black comedy-drama streaming television series described by its commissioner Hulu as “anti-historical” loosely based on the rise to power of Catherine the Great, Empress of All Russia. McNamara also served as executive producer of the show along with Elle Fanning, Marian Macgowan, Brittany Kahan Ward, Doug Mankoff, Andrew Spaulding, Josh Kesselman, Ron West and Matt Shakman.

In July 2020, Hulu renewed the series for a second season which premiered on November 19, 2021. In January 2022, the series was renewed for a third season.

So, when is the third season releasing? What is the plot? Who would come back to reprise their roles? Continue reading to know further details.

The Great Plot and Cast

The first season narrates somewhat true incidents from the history of Russian rulers Catherine and Peter. Catherine is an outsider living in a rural town, and she gets the opportunity to marry the new Tsar Peter and hopes to take matters into her hands once she is Queen.

The second season is a pure farce with no connection to reality and ends with the death of Catherine’s mother and a lot of ugly truths underneath. All of this is wrapped up in top-notch humour and 18th-century drama. Season 3 will most certainly pick up from where it left with fans asking multiple questions from the edges of their seats.

The main casts for the upcoming season include Elle Fanning, Nicholas Hoult, Gillian Anderson, Jason Isaacs, Pheobe Fox, Belinda Bromilow, Charity Wakefield, Gwilym Lee, and Adam Godley, Douglas Hodge and Sacha Dhawan.

Tony McNamara-created drama The Great Season 3 is now officially announced by Hulu Network. It is scheduled to arrive on November 18, 2022.
