As season 2 ends on a massive cliffhanger, creator shares an update on Black Doves season 3

Black Doves season 2 has finally been released on Netflix, and it ends on a massive cliffhanger, so when is season 3 coming?

In Black Doves season 2, Helen Webb seems to be finally ready to tell her husband Wallace everything, including the truth about her secret identity. But just as he asks her to start with her real name, the episode ends.

And now the creator Joe Barton has revealed that plans for more episodes are already being discussed.

So, is Black Doves season 3 happening?

Technically, Netflix hasn’t officially renewed Black Doves for a third season just yet. But that doesn’t mean the creative team isn’t already thinking about what comes next. During an appearance on the Pilot TV podcast, Barton revealed, “It’s an ongoing conversation. There’s a writers room. Netflix are really behind it.”

He also said, “They’ve said that thing ‘we’d love to re-commission it’. I’m like no one’s stopping you, you can! We have a writers room for it. They’ve been really supportive, I think everyone’s at the whims of market forces etcetera. So we hope so.” 

So, while this isn’t an official renewal announcement, it’s definitely a positive sign for anyone hoping to see Helen and Sam back on screen.

What could happen in Black Doves season 3?

Well, for starters, Wallace now knows that Helen has been hiding a huge part of her life from him. The season ends just as he asks her to explain her real identity, so we still haven’t seen how he’ll react to the full truth.

Speaking to Tudum, Barton explained, “To get into the fallout from this and Wallace knowing Helen’s true identity is such a big thing that it kind of needs its own series. The whole nucleus of Helen is that she’s got this secret life, and what happens when that secret comes out is such a fascinating thing.”

He also said, “If we get a third series we’re talking about Eleanor and Williams back story, that’s still up for grabs,” referring to the assassins played by Gabrielle Creevy and Ella Lily Hyland.

He added, “With Sam and Helen I’ve got a sense of what they’ve done and we’ve referenced bits and also filmed some back story which hasn’t made it in yet.”
