Fans of ‘The Sinner’ rejoice, for season three is here! The American anthology crime drama, based on the novel of the same name by German crime writer Petra Hammesfahr, will now see Detective Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) investigate a fatal car accident in Upstate New York. 

The Sinner’s debut season was the number 1 new cable series of 2017 and garnered multiple award nominations including an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for Jessica Biel.

The Sinner’s second installment garnered a SAG nomination (for Male Actor in a Miniseries or TV Movie for Bill Pullman) and a Critics’ Choice Award nomination (for Best Actress in a Movie/Miniseries for Carrie Coon).

Release date:

The series was renewed for its third season earlier this year in March. While no official release date is out there, it is expected to air in the latter half of 2020.

Plot:

Matt Bomer as Jamie and Chris Messina as Nick are two frenemies from college. They are involved in the crash in Upstate New York. However, there is more than meets the eye. Do they have skeletons in their closets? That's for detective Ambrose to find.
