Great news, fans of historical — and hysterical — fiction: Hulu has renewed “The Great” for a 10-episode Season 3. The news came about as part of Disney General Entertainment’s TCA (Television Critics Association) Winter Press Tour.
Season 2 of “The Great” premiered on Hulu on Friday, Nov. 19, 2021. It is “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes with a 100% score. Pretty “great” (the audience has it at 87%, which is nothing to sneeze at either).
The series is currently nominated for three Critics’ Choice Awards.
On “The Great” Season 2, Catherine (Elle Fanning) finally takes the Russian throne for her own — but if she thought coup-ing her husband was difficult, it’s nothing compared to the realities of “liberating” a country that doesn’t want to be, Hulu’s description reads.
