Hands up, who binged on Season 2 of The Sinner after it was released on Netflix?
Season Two aired in full on Netflix on November 9.
The Sinner’s latest instalment followed Detective Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) as he heads “back to his hometown in rural New York to assess an unsettling and heart-wrenching crime — parents murdered by their 11-year-old son, with no apparent motive.”
When will The Sinner Season 3 air
Given the popularity surrounding the series, which received two Emmy nominations, The Sinner season 3 will get the green light and be commissioned.
With such a stellar cast, a looking back at the turn around time in years past, we’re betting Netflix will air The Sinner season 3 in the later half of 2019.
Who will star in The Sinner Season 3
Jessica Biel, who played Cora in Season 1, is said to not be in Season 2. Instead she is the series executive producer.
And she is keen for fans to see more of her storyline.
“It’s possible. It is, I think – so I think I can say that. Is it probable? I don’t know,” Biel said.
“I don’t think so, simply because we’re not quite sure how she would fit in anymore – in a way that would hold and maintain the integrity of the show and what we want to do with future seasons.
“And you know, it pains me to say that a little bit because I love this character and at one time I really thought that maybe season two would be about Ambrose and Cora,” she continued.
“But our writers exhausted all options, with every type of Cora storyline, and as a creative team we really looked at it very specifically and acutely and said, ‘This is just not what our show is’.
“So the answer is I don’t know, it could be possible. But I’m not sure, I’m not sure it will ever happen.”
As Pullman’s character Detective Ambrose, showrunner Derek Simonds has said, “If given a season three, we’re definitely sticking to our anthology model where we’ll be introduced to a new cast of characters and a new crime for Ambrose to solve.”
What will Season 3 be about?
Simonds told Digital Spy, “We’re so addicted to closure right now in this time in storytelling, and I think staying in an area of ambiguity and inviting the viewers’ imagination is a really powerful thing and stories should do more because it lingers more and resonates more.”
“On a basic emotional level I feel there is enough closure just because characters have arrived at a truth. When they finally know the whole story, there is a pain in that and the truth is often very hard, but there is a freedom to move past it because they know what it is — they know what happened.”
