The third season premiere date for the famous historical comedy-drama The Great has been made public by Hulu. After more than a year since the conclusion of its second season, the Elle Fanning-starring series will formally return on May 12 with 10 new episodes.

Together with the debut of the first official image from the new series, the Season 3 premiere date was also revealed. After spending the previous season attempting to murder one another regularly, it shows Catherine and Peter appear to be trying to mend their marriage.

When will The Great Season 3 be released?

Season three of The Great will debut on May 12. The third season of the show, which will include 10 episodes, was renewed for a run on Hulu in January 2022. The information was confirmed by a tweet.

The Great’s first season premiered on May 15, 2020, while season 2 didn’t reach our modest screens until November 19, 2021, owing in part to the Covid-19 epidemic. Since that lockdowns are no longer in place, it seems sensible that the period between season 2 and season 3 won’t be as long this time.

What is The Great all about?

The Great is a historical dramedy that centers on Catherine, a young woman who marries Peter, the Russian monarch, and is touted as “an occasionally true story”  (and subsequently “an almost wholly fictional story”).

With the assistance of bureaucrat Orlo (Sacha Dhawan), general Velementov (Douglas Hodge), and noble-turned-maid-turned-noble Marial, Catherine seeks and finally succeeds in removing Peter as ruler of Russia in Season 2. (Phoebe Fox). 

During the course of the season, Catherine started to become accustomed to her new position as empress, but she encountered plenty of opposition from almost all quarters, particularly from the group of nobility who were devoted to Peter. 

She also started to realize how little she knew about Russia. That didn’t stop her from learning, though, or from attempting to change the attitudes of the Russians to one that was more forward-thinking.

The Great Season 3 cast

Nobody will be surprised to learn that all of the prominent members of the royal court will return for The Great season 3. As the titular Queen Catherine, Elle Fanning will undoubtedly return. Nicholas Hoult will reprise his role as her careless husband, Peter.

There isn’t a season 3 trailer for The Great yet, which is bad news for all Catherine enthusiasts. We are still in the dark on this one as production hasn’t started and there isn’t any material for a season preview trailer.
