Kingdom Season 3 Release Date, Cast Members, Storyline, Trailer, and Everything

Netflix’s South Korean period zombie series has become a breakout hit since its premiere. It has captivated the audience with its horror and historical elements. After the second season finale, the fans were desperate to learn about season 3. But it turned out to be a never-ending wait!

The series, created by Kim Eun-hee, is based on the webtoon series The Kingdom of the Gods. It debuted in January 2019 and became Netflix’s first original series.

The show is set in the 1500s in fictional Joseon, and when a deadly epidemic breaks out in the nation, Lee Chang must investigate and stop the plague. It rapidly got the attention of the viewers in its debut episode. IMDb gave the series an 8.3 rating, and on Rotten Tomatoes, the second season received a 100% approval rating.

In this article, we will explore every detail about Kingdom season 3, including the release date, cast, plot, and more.

Kingdom Season 3 Release Date

Sadly, we don’t know when the third season of Kingdom arrives for the viewers. It’s been more than four years since the last episode of the second season aired. The show debuted on Netflix in January 2019, and the second season was released in March 2020.

The second season was concluded at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the viewers at that time thought that it was the reason for the delay of season 3. Despite having good viewership and ratings, there is no hint from the streamers about its return.

In 2021, during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, writer Kim Eun-hee expressed she had enough ideas for more seasons by saying, “Strangely enough, Kingdom is a series that gives me more energy the more I write it.” 

She also added, “The cast and crew all have great chemistry, and there’s so much more to tell. If viewers allow, I would love to see it develop even up to season 10.”

Kingdom Season 3 Plot Synopsis – Spoilers Ahead

The series is set at the start of the 17th century in a fictional Joseon Dynasty and follows Lee Chang, the Crown Prince of Joseon. His father and the King of Joseon became ill from deadly smallpox for ten days and were only allowed to see his pregnant wife, Queen Consort Cho, and her father, Haewon Cho clan.

Lee Chang was not allowed to see his father by his stepmother, Consort Cho. He is aware that his life was in danger once his baby brother was born. He decided to investigate the mysterious illness that caught the king with the help of his bodyguard, Mu-yeong. The investigation led him to be caught in the middle of a deadly epidemic that was spreading rapidly in the kingdom of Joseon. He must save the kingdom from the epidemic and also stop the people who are trying to seize the throne.

The third season will continue where the second season concluded and answer why the zombie outbreak happened. Lee Chang learned that a mysterious woman named Ashin was spreading the virus and keeping zombies alive. Season 3 will explore her intentions and where she came from.

Kingdom Season 3 Cast Members List

If the show returns for the third season, Ju Ji-hoon as Prince Lee Chang will surely be back. In the second season, we witnessed many cast members say goodbye as they became victims of the plague. 

The expected cast list of Kingdom season 3 is as follows:

  • Ju Ji-hoon as Prince Lee Chang
  • Bae Doona as Seo-bi
  • Ryu Seung-ryong as Cho Hak-ju
  • Kim Sung-kyu as Yeong-shin jein
  • Jeon Seok-ho as Cho Beom-pal
  • Jun Ji-hyun as Ashin

Kingdom Season 3 Episode Title List

There is no episode list for Kingdom season 3, as the series hadn’t gotten the green light for the third season. The first and second seasons contain 6 episodes each, with a duration of 36-56 minutes each episode. So, if it returns for another season, it will also probably have the same number of episodes.

It’s just our speculation. The episode count depends upon many factors, such as the series’ demand, plotline, and production cost. To get any update, first, the show should be renewed for season 3.
