Let's get the bad news out of the way first: season three won't be here for a while. Although HBO officially renewed the show for a third season back in May 2018, the network has yet to announce a specific premiere date, revealing only that it will arrive at some point in the first half of 2020.
If we had to guess, you should expect it to premiere in the Spring sometime (for context, season two didn't premiere until April 22). According to cocreator Jonathan Nolan, the longer wait between seasons was due to their attention to detail.
"It's an ongoing conversation with our friends at HBO, and for us, with a show of this scope and scale, we're not interested in doing the compromised version," he explained to Entertainment Weekly. "We want the show to get bigger and bigger and more ambitious, and this takes time. We want to take all the time we need to get it right."
