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).
