The world of Into the Badlands is growing rapidly, as AMC has renewed the show for season 3.
Into the Badlands season 3 will consist of 16 episodes, which’ll be its largest season to date. Season 2 had 10 episodes, and the freshman season only had six episodes. It’s the #4 scripted drama on cable, according to AMC’s analysis of the ratings.
“Into the Badlands looks like nothing else on television, a literal high-wire act attracting passionate and dedicated fans by the millions,” said Charlie Collier, president of AMC. “Thanks to series creators and showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar, the terrific cast, led by Daniel Wu, the amazing martial arts team guided by the incomparable Master Dee Dee and fight directors Stephen Fung and Andy Cheng, and everyone else involved who brings this thrill ride to the fans.”
“We are excited and grateful to continue our journey into the Badlands with Charlie, Joel, Susie and all of our friends at AMC,” said Gough and Millar. “We also want to give a big clipper salute to our Irish and Chinese partners! The thought of doing an expanded 16-episode season is both thrilling and exhausting!!”
A premiere date for Into the Badlands season 3 was not announced today. The series is currently in the middle of airing its sophomore run.
