Black Doves season 2 has finally been released on Netflix, and it ends on a massive cliffhanger, so when is season 3 coming?<\/p>\n

In Black Doves<\/a> season 2, Helen Webb<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

And now the creator Joe Barton has revealed that plans for more episodes are already being discussed.<\/p>\n

So, is Black Doves season 3 happening?<\/h2>\n

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<\/a> podcast, Barton revealed, \u201cIt\u2019s an ongoing conversation. There\u2019s a writers room. Netflix are really behind it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said, \u201cThey\u2019ve said that thing \u2018we\u2019d love to re-commission it\u2019. I\u2019m like no one\u2019s stopping you, you can! We have a writers room for it. They\u2019ve been really supportive, I think everyone\u2019s at the whims of market forces etcetera. So we hope so.\u201d <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

What could happen in Black Doves season 3?<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Tudum<\/a>, Barton explained, \u201cTo get into the fallout from this and Wallace knowing Helen\u2019s true identity is such a big thing that it kind of needs its own series. The whole nucleus of Helen is that she\u2019s got this secret life, and what happens when that secret comes out is such a fascinating thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said, \u201cIf we get a third series we\u2019re talking about Eleanor and Williams back story, that\u2019s still up for grabs,\u201d referring to the assassins played by Gabrielle Creevy and Ella Lily Hyland.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWith Sam and Helen I\u2019ve got a sense of what they\u2019ve done and we\u2019ve referenced bits and also filmed some back story which hasn\u2019t made it in yet.\u201d <\/p>\n
