Pen15 Season 3: Back in 2019, Hulu came up with a comedy-drama Pen15. Starring Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle, two seasons of the show are out. Ever since then, fans have been wondering if Pen15 Season 3 would happen.
The show sees Erskine and Konkle as they play the teenage versions of themselves who are in middle school. The two of them try to make their way through the school with actual teenagers around. The series has been able to pique everyone’s eye and interest. What’s next for the show? Here are all the details about it-
Is Pen15 Season 3 Renewed?
As of now, Pen15 hasn’t been renewed for a third season. The second season of the series released in September on Hulu. So, it is quite early to wonder whether or not Hulu would renew it. Streaming giants usually take a few months before they announce the renewal. So, we suggest fans to be a bit patient.
The first season of the drama was released in February 2019 and was renewed two months later in May 2019. So, if history does repeat itself, there is still some time before the creators announce anything. With that said, it doesn’t look like we will get Pen15 just yet.
There might be episodes from the second season that is yet to air. Back when the second season of the series was announced, the creators had revealed that they would bring fourteen seasons in the second season. These fourteen episodes will be divided into two parts splitting the whole series into two equal batches of episodes—the first seven episodes released in September 2021. The second half has not yet been released.
The second season did start filming in late 2019. The creators took onto their social media to share the news with their fans. However, then COVID shutdown the shooting. It looks like the team has resumed shooting in September. In an interview with W Magazine, Konkle said, “We’re almost done shooting, but Covid stopped us in the middle, so the next seven episodes… probably won’t be out for a year now,” Hoping for the best, viewers can expect to see the remaining episodes of the second season to release sometime in 2021.
Creators Have Plans For More
Last year, Erskine spoke about her idea for the future of Pen15. It looks like the creators have more plans for the series. Before the second season was released, Erskine spoke about these plans. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Erskine said that they are hoping that the show will continue to tell her and Anna’s story in the seventh grade forever. That is the whole concept of the show. It is about purgatory.
Continuing her statement, she says that the show isn’t about these two characters going to high school. They might explore darker and mature things in the next season, but they will continue to tell this story. So, when the next episodes of the series come out, fans can expect to see many weird middle school situations coming up. We will keep updating you with all the new information about the show as we get it. So, you stay tuned.
