Absentia season 3 has already been renewed a long time ago, but details about remain scarce until now. The series runs a quiet production and doesn't release too much detail about what to expect. But based on some reports, it seems like it may be coming sooner than later.
In a recent Twitter post, Absentia season 3 showrunner Will Pascoe teased some substantial progress about the upcoming installment. He said they've locked season finale, wrapped pot on episode 7, and finishing post on episode 8.
Pascoe further teased that they already have an official release date and he's hoping it will be announced soon. But then, he didn't reference any specific countries, as the release date varies depending on which country you live in.
Prior to his post, Pascoe previously shared the post-production team locked episode 9 and they're nearing the end of episode 10. In addition, lead star Stana Katic shared some behind the scenes via Twitter. These social media posts hint that the series is coming anytime soon.
