Alex Rider season 3 gets a confident update more than two years after the show’s last episode. Based on the novel series of the same name by Anthony Horowitz, Alex Rider takes shape when the eponymous character (played by Otto Farrant) is recruited by a subdivision of MI6 as a teenage spy to infiltrate places that are off-limits to others. Developed for TV by Guy Burt, Alex Rider season 1 debuted on Prime Video while the second installment moved to Prime Video’s affiliated streamer, now known as Amazon Freevee.

The latest update on Alex Rider season 3 addressed the recent rumors of Amazon Freevee shutting down. It’s mentioned that even if Freevee does shut down, season 3 will still premiere on Prime Video. In response to a reader’s question, TVLine noted: “Have no fear, Season 3 will still see the light of day — presumably now on Prime Video.”

Filming for season 3 began in October 2022, with production also taking place in Croatia. Some reports filming took place in places like Cardiff Bay Barrage, Gloucester, and Malta. The third season had wrapped up production by early 2023, already well over a year since the December 2021 season 2 binge release.

Amazon Freevee has announced that the third season of Alex Rider is in production in the UK and Malta.

The third season of Alex Rider features the return of series stars Otto Farrant as Alex Rider, Stephen Dillane as Alan Blunt, Vicky McClure as Mrs. Jones, Brenock O’Connor as Tom Harris, Ronkẹ Adékọluẹ́jọ́ as Jack Starbright, and Marli Siu as Kyra Vashenko-Chao. Joining the cast this season is Sofia Helin as Julia Rothman, an enigmatic, rich widow who, unbeknownst to the world, is a highly secretive agent with Scorpia, the criminal organisation behind Alex Rider’s deadliest encounters; Shelley Conn as Laura Kellner, a ruthless and reckless politician who challenges the Department’s authority; Kevin McNally as Max Grendel, a shrewd and calm senior council for Scorpia, with the outward appearance of a kind, European gentleman; and Jason Wong as Nile, a dangerous Scorpia assassin, devoted to Rothman.

Adapted by Guy Burt from Scorpia, the fifth Alex Rider novel, Season Three sets the teenage spy on the trail of his greatest enemy: the elusive criminal network known as Scorpia. Finally free of the manipulative Alan Blunt and his Department, Alex embarks on a personal mission to destroy Scorpia once and for all, little realising the journey will reveal his ties to both organizations run deeper than he ever thought possible.
