Undone was a critical hit, and fans waited patiently for a second season, but now there’s uncertainty on whether it’s renewed or canceled for Season 3.
An ambitious and endlessly creative series on Amazon Prime, created by Kate Purdy and Raphael Bob-Waksberg, it explores profound family tragedies that shape generations. While the first season had us questioning what is real or imagined in Alma’s head, the show manages to take a turn examining all the resentment that tore the family apart. Undone manages to reinvent itself every couple of episodes, utilizing its stunning rotoscope animation and absorbing nonlinear presentation.
Will there be a Season 3 of Undone?

Almost two years later, Amazon has still not confirmed if there will be a Season 3 of Undone. At this stage, we can only assume it has been canceled. This is not rare where there’s no news. Sometimes companies do not feel the need to update on a renewal status. But it has caused confusion amongst fans who follow the show, as demonstrated by this Reddit thread:
Are we still hopeful for a Season 3?

The second season of Undone ended so perfectly, that I almost wish they would not pursue a third season. But obviously, the code storyline of Alma’s mental health has not been truly explored yet. Her traveling back to her original timeline does offer some juicy storyline for a possible third season to wrap the show up. However, the storyline for Bob Odenkirk’s Jacob appears to be over. Could he possibly return, and how would they incorporate his character since his character was not alive during the original timeline? Also, his life went full circle and ended in the new one.
Undone is a critically acclaimed hit. The show’s streaming platform has a history of giving 30-minute series a third season primarily because it allows for the completed storyline for repeated viewing and costs less to store the raw data for streaming services. It may also have Ms. Purdy working in their favor because she signed an exclusive deal working with Amazon.
Prediction: A toss-up. I’m leaning towards a shortened third season to wrap up the acclaimed series.
