Overview
- Farr, speaking at Deadline’s Contenders TV panel on Monday, confirmed season 3 is underway and said it will arrive sooner than the last installment.
- He said the new chapter will confront season 2’s bleak finish and pursue justice and redemption without losing the show’s grounded tone.
- Tom Hiddleston voiced enthusiasm to return as Jonathan Pine and endorsed ending the story as a three-part arc.
- There is no production start or release window yet, with Farr describing the scripting as a major task he is now leading.
- The show initially lacked a sequel plan because John le Carré wrote only one novel, which helps explain the 2016 debut, the long pause, and the BBC/Prime Video return in January 2026.
