‘Who Killed Sara?’ Season 3 trailer

On Tuesday, Netflix released the first full-length trailer for Season 3, teasing plenty of new twists and turns. Not only does Alex discover that his siter’s body isn’t where it’s supposed to be, but he and viewers also learn that Sara was the first patient in a mysterious experiment called Project Medusa. In perhaps the biggest twist of all, the 2-minute-long trailer ended with Alex come face-to-face with a long and dark haired Sara, leaving fans wondering if she has really been alive this entire time.

What is the Season 3 plot?

In the final moments of Season 2 (warning: spoilers ahead!), Nicandro had a phone conversation with someone he referred to simply as “Doctor,” revealing that while everyone believes Marifer cut the ropes, she was not the one to kill Sara. He also revealed that Sara was the first patient of a psychological study. Those massive revelations will continue to play out in Season 3.

Per Season 3’s official synopsis, “Just when we thought it was Marifer who killed Sara by cutting the ropes of the parachute, everything was flipped on its head at the end of season 2. In an unexpected and mysterious scene, Nicandro reveals that Marifer was not the one who committed the crime, but rather that “it was really us” who did it. Who? Why? At last, all those questions asked throughout the series will be answered in this third and final season – the most surprising and explosive yet! And most importantly…What really happened with Sara?”

‘Who Killed Sara’ Season 3 Cast

While we may not know much about a possible Season 3, we can make a pretty good guess at the cast. It is likely that all current cast members would return for Season 3.

Carolina Miranda portray Elisa Lazcano, the youngest Lazcano sibling who becomes involved in a romantic relationship with Alex. The series also stars García Millán, Claudia Ramírez, Eugenio Siller and Alejandro Nones. It is not known if any new cast members would be added for a new season.

How many episodes will be in Season 3?

At this time, Netflix has not confirmed Season 3’s episode count. Season 1 of the series consisted of 10 mind-bending episodes, though Season 2 was shortened to just eight episodes. It seems likely that Who Killed Sara? Season 3 would be somewhere between eight and 10 episodes long, which is the typical length for Netflix originals.

What are critics saying about the season?

Reviews for Who Killed Sara? Season 3 haven’t started rolling out just yet, and it is unclear if Netflix plans to release screener episodes to critics prior to the season’s May 18 premiere date. Past seasons of the series, however, have been viewed favorably by critics, and the series as a whole has an impressive 86% Rotten Tomatoes score, with one critic dubbing the show “a compelling, revenge-thirsty murder mystery.”

Will There be a Season 4?

Although Netflix was quick to confirm that Who Killed Sara? would be returning for a second season following its Season 1 debut, and the series teased the a third season would be coming in the Season 2 finale end credits, fans shouldn’t be holding out hope for a fourth season. According to Netflix’s Season 3 synopsis, it seems the upcoming season will be the last. In the synopsis, Netflix dubbed Season 3 “final season,” meaning it seems viewers will finally learn once and for all just who killed Sara and if she’s really even dead at all.
