Netflix will reportedly renew 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events' for a third season
Not even a month after Netflix confirmed they'd be bringing back A Series Of Unfortunate Events for a second season, Variety reports the series will also be back for a third.
The series based on popular books by Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) premiered its Netflix adaption on January 13, starring Neil Patrick Harris as the evil Count Olaf. The first season spans the first four books in the series over eight episodes, giving each novel a two-part storyline.

Though anyone from Netflix has yet to comment on the extension of the renewal, it is assumed that a third season would ensure that books 5-13 would be covered, completing the 13-part series.
A Series Of Unfortunate Events was created by Handler, who also served as executive producer alongside Emmy winner Barry Sonnenfeld (Men In Black, The Addams Family).
Though the second season was just announced in March, there is no timetable yet for the two forthcoming seasons.

Harris (on Twitter) and Lemony Snicket, played by Patrick Warburton, broke the news of a second season with a chilling note, which you can read below.
“Dear Viewer,
It has come to my attention that, despite my repeated warnings, you have viewed the Netflix adaptation of my distressing work, known collectively as “A Series Of Unfortunate Events.” Some of you have even binged, a word which here mans, “Watched several episodes right in a row, despite having much better things to do with your time.”
To my horror, Netflix has been encouraged by this, and funneled their ill-gotten gains toward a second season of this unhappy and unnerving series. Even as we speak, set buildings, costume designers, and trauma specialists are snapping into action, the better to bring you even more upsetting episodes, all because of your reputed enthusiasm for this grim so-called family programming.
I hope you’re happy. Because you won’t be, ever again.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket”
A Series Of Unfortunate Events was taken to the big screen in 2004 by Paramount Pictures with a film starring Jim Carrey. The book series began in 1999 and continued through to 2006.
So it seems like we're going to get our fix of the whole Lemony Snicket series! How excited are you that it'll be back for TWO more seasons?!
