Apple TV+ Releases First Look At 'Dickinson's Third & Final Season

As Emily Dickinson wrote, "That it will never come again is what makes life sweet." Unfortunately, that will also go for the delightful romp that is the Apple TV+ series that bears her name, Dickinson, which announced at the beginning of September 2021 that Season 3 would be its last. But we should dwell in possibility, as there is a new image from the upcoming season and a teaser promising that there is at least one more round to enjoy. Even better, fans won't have to wait until 2022 to see it. The final season will arrive in time for the holidays.

For those asking why Apple would cancel one of the few truly great things on its streaming service, take heart. According to series creator Alena Smith, three seasons was always what she envisioned for the show, in her quest to tell the story of one of America's greatest poets and foremothers of writing. In a statement along with the series' cancelation, Smith said, "In my wildest dreams, I could never have imagined how rich and satisfying the experience of making this show would become, and the incredible joy it has been to tell Emily's story along with Hailee and our brilliant, passionate cast and crew."

I can't wait to share our epic final season with the world and to bring our audience along with us to the conclusion of Emily's coming-of-age saga, as she continues to fight for her own poetic truth while reckoning with so many of the issues that face us now. Thank you to Hailee Steinfeld and our entire Dickinson team for making this such an unforgettable creative journey. I'm grateful for my partnership with Apple and can't wait to continue telling more original stories with them in the years ahead.

Though the teaser for the new season is short, it looks as if it will be one worthy of the show's exit.
