Alex Rider Season 3 gets a positive update more than two years after Season 2 premiered back in 2021.
The hopes for Alex Rider Season 3 coming to fruition dwindled when recent rumors about Amazon Freevee shutting down began circulating. An Amazon representative (via Variety) denied the reports, saying that there would be “no changes to Freevee.”
However, according to TVLine, even if the streaming service ends up shutting down, the third episode of the teen spy drama is definitely still happening. In response to a question, the outlet stated: “Have no fear, Season 3 will still see the light of day — presumably now on Prime Video.”
When is Alex Rider Season 3 coming out?
Filming for Season 3 reportedly began in 2022. No release date has been set yet for the third season of Alex Rider, but it was reported that Season 3 has successfully wrapped up production. With the filming already completed as well as the recent report from TVLine, fans can expect the British spy thriller to return anytime sooner.
What is Alex Rider about?
Alex Rider is based on Anthony Horowitz’s novel series of the same name, following the titular lead — an orphan known for his incredible skills — as he gets recruited to join the Department of Special Operations to sneak into a corrective academy catered for the reckless kids of wealthy families.
“Alex Rider is an ordinary teenager enlisted to work on behalf of MI6, where he uses skills he didn’t know he had to become an extraordinary spy,” the logline reads.
Created by Guy Burt, English actor Otto Farrant (Mrs. Wilson) stars as Alex Rider, with Stephen Dillane starring as Alan Blunt, Brenock O’Connor as Tom Harris, Vicky McClure as Mrs. Jones, Ace Bhatti as John Crawley, Thomas Levin as Yassen Gregorovitch, Nyasha Hatendi as Smithers, and Marli Siu as Kyra Vashenko-Chao, among others.
