Dark Season 3 Reviews & Ratings
It’s really sad that the innovative series is already coming to an end, but since the time cycles on the show come in threes, it makes sense that Dark would wrap up with a third installment. Sherlock Season 5 Release Date

Along with the announcement of the series, he also shared that it’s scheduled to arrive sometime in 2020. It’s hard to tell the exact date of the release of the series. While Season 1 debuted in December 2017 and Season 2 dropped a year-and-a-half later, on June 21, 2019, but according to Indie Wire, filming is already underway, so it is likely to be aired in spring/summer 2020.
Dark season 3 Story & Plot: Ending Explained
It’s also no coincidence that Season 2 was released on June 26, the day Michael (AKA Mikkel) killed himself, launching the chain of events in Season 1. So, considering the same, Netflix might intentionally release the final episodes on June 27, 2020, the day of the last cycle and the apocalypse.
Dark season 3 cast: Who’s in it?
When you’re working with a time-traveling, a multi-dimensional show like Dark, which has the added complication that it has three separate actors playing each character so guessing who will or won’t be making an appearance in Season 3 can be a little dicey. While no cast members are officially confirmed officially, even characters who died in one cycle are still likely candidates to come back which means most of the ensemble cast will probably return, with givens like Jonas (Louis Hofmann) and older Jonas (Andreas Pietschmann), Martha (Lisa Vicari), Magnus (Moritz Jahn), Franziska (Gina Stiebitz), Bartosz (Paul Lux) of the teenage cast, and Hannah (Maja Schone), Katharina (Jordis Triebel), Charlotte (Karoline Eichhorn), and Noah (Mark Waschke) of the adults.
- Louis Hofmann as “Jonas Kahnwald”
- Lisa Vicari as “Martha Nielsen”
- Moritz Jahn as “Magnus Nielsen”
- Paul Lux as “Bartosz Tiedemann”
- Andreas Pietschmann as “2052 Jonas”
- Gina Stiebitz as “Franziska Doppler”
- Mark Waschke as “Noah”
- Jördis Triebel as “Katharina Nielsen”
- Karoline Eichhorn as “Charlotte Doppler”
Also, because we know Elisabeth (Carlotta von Falkenhayn) survived the apocalypse, it can be assumed that she, her father Peter (Stephan Kampwirth), her mother Claudia (Lisa Kreuzer), Regina (Deborah Kaufmann), and young Noah (Max Schimmelpfennig) will be back since they were all in the bunker together at the end of Season 2.
How to Watch Dark season 3 all episodes online?
Dark is the type of show that tends to give you a headache if you start theorizing about it as it has so many twist and turns. There are rules to the time travel on the show: Everything is a cycle and the past can’t be changed, and there’s a whole lot of incest and confusing family relations, like the revelation that Elisabeth and Charlotte are each other’s mothers.
In an interview with IndieWire, showrunner Jantje Friese said, “The basic idea of Season 3 was something that we already had when we started. There are also a lot of things in Season 1 hinting to Season 3. Also, we actually thought about putting some of the stuff that’s now in Season 3 into Season 2, but then decided to move it backward. So basically now everything that’s left just falls into Season 3.”
