'Victoria' Will Return for Season 3

It’s official: Victoria has been renewed for a third season!

Ahead of the series’ Season 2 return in America next month, PBS and ITV announced that stars Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes would both be back for the third run of the popular period drama, which chronicles the early life and reign of Queen Victoria.

Season 3 is expected to start filming next year, and while we don’t know too much about what we’ll see in it, creator Daisy Goodwin did offer up a few hints. “Series three will start in 1848 which was a hugely dramatic and eventful time for both the royal family and Europe, with revolutions on the continent and uncertainty around the monarchy,” she said in a press release. “Viewers can expect more drama than ever before in the third series.”

Several official accounts connected with the show immediately confirmed and started celebrating the news earlier this week.
