Fans are ecstatic after news broke in late September that the canceled CBS legal drama All Rise had officially been saved and renewed for Season 3. Months after the network gave the show the ax after just two seasons, a decision that was likely the result of faltering ratings, it was confirmed on Sept. 29 that the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) picked up All Rise for a 20-episode Season 3.
Set to air sometime in 2022, Season 3 will bring back series star Simone Missick, who will also serve as executive producer, as Los Angeles Judge Lola Carmichael. Wilson Bethel, Jessica Camacho, J. Alex Brinson, Ruthie Ann Miles, Lindsay Mendez, and Lindsey Gort are also set to reprise their respective roles as Deputy District Attorney Mark Callan, public defender Emily Lopez, bailiff-turned-lawyer Luke Watkins, Sherri Kansky, court reporter Sara Castillo, and defense attorney Amy Quinn, respectively. In confirming the Season 3 pickup, OWN president Tina Perry said in a statement that the show “has been a great performer, achieving strong ratings and growing its share from Season 1 to 2. Featuring a strong character front and center, Judge Lola Carmichael’s story reflects our audience with powerful affirmation…We can’t wait to get started on Season 3 and bring this show back for long-standing and new fans alike.”
