Netflix and the BBC are bringing back a hilarious TV series for a surprise third season, with an entirely new premise.
What Netflix TV show is back for a surprise Season 3?
According to Variety, Netflix and the BBC are bringing back the character of Philomena Cunk for a third season. The character, who was created by comedian Diane Morgan and Charlie Brooker, and played by Morgan, is best known for her deadpan style as the host of several satirical documentaries.
The third season of the show, titled Cunk on Cinema, will see the three-part series air on the BBC in the U.K. and Ireland, and globally on Netflix. The new show is described as the “most glamorous series to date,” and will see the fictional character examining the world of movies and people’s love for them.
“Cunk will attempt to demystify it all while sitting in lumpy seats with stale popcorn, asking herself where did cinema come from? And why? What does it want? And why can’t it tell us?” reads the synopsis of the series.
“Cinema has given the world some of the most profound, memorable and moving visual moments in its unswerving depiction of the human condition: the shower scene in ‘Psycho,’ Death playing chess in that Swedish thing, and Tom Selleck’s glistening moustache in ‘Three Men And A Little Lady,’ to name but all three of the only examples I can think of at the moment,” said Cunk. “There will, unfortunately, be some bits in black and white, but we’ll keep that to the barest minimum.”
In a statement from Brooker, he joked that “now that Sora has killed off Hollywood and itself,” it’s time to take a look at the world of cinema. Prior to this, Morgan played the character in 2018’s Cunk on Britain, 2022’s Cunk on Earth, and in a one-off special titled Cunk on Life that aired in 2024.
