Are you ready for the epic finale of "See"?
Exciting news for fans of "See"! The release date for the third and final season has been announced. Get ready to join Haniwa and Wren on their captivating journey once again, as the new season arrives on Apple TV+.
Created by Steven Knight, the science fiction series "See" unfolds in a post-apocalyptic world, set 600 years in the future from our time. In this grim reality, a devastating virus has ravaged the population, leaving the survivors without sight, save for a rare few who possess the gift of vision.
In this gripping narrative, a stark contrast emerges between a world plunged into darkness and the luminous commitment of the series' creators to authentic representation.
Notably, "See" has garnered acclaim for its genuine portrayal of the visually impaired community, featuring a cast and crew that includes individuals with visual impairments. In recognition of its efforts to shatter barriers and challenge stereotypes, the series received the prestigious Ruderman Family Foundation Seal of Authentic Representation in 2020.
"Building a world without sight was a particularly unique and continuous challenge that was met through the passionate and thoughtful collaboration of a phenomenally talented and diverse team both in front of and behind the camera," Knight said. "The show has been a monumental labor of love for all involved, and we are eternally grateful for the way ‘See’ has been embraced by viewers around the world."
In addition to its significant strides in promoting inclusion and representation, the series also stands out for its captivating and skillful craftsmanship. The performances are notable for their strength, while the narratives themselves are deeply engaging.
In the world of "See," the society we once recognized has faded into history. Instead, the characters have come of age in an entirely different reality, where novel modes of existence and social interaction have led them to form distinct tribes.
The narrative primarily centers around the Alkenny tribe, led by Baba Voss. Their lives take a dramatic turn when they welcome a pregnant woman into their community, unaware that she carries twins. What makes this situation even more extraordinary is that the twins' father possesses the rare gift of sight, a perceived curse in their world. As rumors and fears swirl around these sighted children, the Alkenny tribe becomes the focal point of attention for the Payan kingdom, under the rule of Queen Kane, who views them as a significant threat.
While the first season of "See" faced its share of criticism, the second season impressively addressed those previous shortcomings, resulting in a highly satisfying overall experience. It appears that the showrunner genuinely considered and integrated viewer feedback, implementing much-needed improvements. The handling of the battles exhibited a masterful touch, featuring enhanced attention to detail, and the character interactions were noticeably more realistic, greatly enhancing the overall immersion for the audience.
While I do appreciate the show for its originality, the enchanting love story between Haniwa and Wren has undeniably been a significant factor in deepening my interest throughout this second season. After all, who can resist the charm of a compelling lesbian romantic storyline?
When season 2 of “See” begins, Haniwa is held prisoner in the kingdom of Trivantes by Baba Voss’ evil dark brother, Edo (Dave Bautista). Fortunately, Haniwa has found a friend in Lieutenant Wren (Eden Epstein). Their ability to see and their common past hiding this bring the two women together, and they fall in love.
Afterward, Wren helps Haniwa and her father to escape but decides at the last moment to stay with Edo. Trivantes is her kingdom, and she is not yet ready to leave it, even for love. Wren, however, gives Haniwa a ring, mentioning that love can last “forever.”
Later, just before the battle of the Greenhill Gap between Baba Voss and his people and Edo and his army begins, Wren and Haniwa meet for a brief moment to try to stop the war. But it is already too late, and the two women find themselves on opposite sides of the battle. Fortunately, each one manages to survive in its own way.
It remains to be seen how their relationship will grow in season 3. Let's hope we will have a nice ending because “See” season 3 will be the last chapter of the show.
It’s been almost a year since the second season of “See” aired. While the plot of the new season is still largely undisclosed, we do know that it will pick up almost a year after the events of the final episode of season 2.
Because of the events of season 2, I assume that Queen Kane (Sylvia Hoeks) will have given birth to the baby she conceived with Kofun (Archie Madekwe). And there will certainly have been some upheaval in Kofun’s family with the arrival of this baby, even if family dynamics have always been an important part of the series, and season 3 will be no exception to that.
On his side, Baba Voss has spent the last few years living in peace in the forest, far away from his family. But when a Trivantian scientist develops a new psychic weapon that could destroy humanity, Baba Voss is forced to return to Paya and save his tribe.
“See” is about to return for its epic final chapter with an all-new set of challenges and adventures for the characters we’ve come to know and love. The trailer for the upcoming season offers a glimpse of what’s in store, and it looks like it’s going to be another wild ride. Until then, enjoy the trailer!
“We are thrilled to share this epic final chapter of ‘See’, which delivers all the intense drama, riveting action, and heartfelt emotion fans have come to expect, as well as what we think is a deeply satisfying conclusion to our story,” said showrunner and executive producer Jonathan Tropper.
You will be happy to see that all the main cast members will return for this new season. That includes:
The rest of the cast includes Tom Mison, Olivia Cheng, Michael Raymond-James, David Hewlett, and Trieste Kelly Dunn.
I don’t know if Alfre Woodard, who played Paris, will appear this season. Her character died at the end of season 2, and I’m not sure they planned flashbacks.
Apple TV+’s series “See” is set to return for its third and final season on August 26, 2022.
The first episode will be available to stream on Apple TV+ on that date, followed by a new episode airing every Friday. Season 3 will include eight episodes in total.
