Theoretically, if we keep on the same timeline, what’s our next release date? I guess it would be January or February 2019. But I don’t know. I would love for it to be as soon as possible. We just want to make them good, and good takes time. It all goes into shaping a really beautiful product, and that’s the most important thing.”

Season 3 will also bring a different vibe that viewers are not used to as it will reportedly take place in the summer, just one year after where Season 2 left off. Another big name will also join the talented cast in Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke’s daughter, Maya Thurman-Hawke, who is set to play the role of an “alternative girl.”
