Season 4 AI Speculation:

Get ready, news junkies! The big question on everyone's mind is when we'll be returning to the frantic, high-stakes newsroom of 1980s Australia. While the incredibly talented team behind The Newsreader, led by creator Michael Lucas, is very eager to produce a third season, ABC has not yet officially renewed the series. The creators have exciting ideas percolating for where to take Helen and Dale next, potentially dropping them into the pivotal events of 1989. However, as of now, the network has not given the official green light for more episodes.

So, what does this mean for a potential air date? Since The Newsreader was not included in ABC's announced 2024 programming slate, it's safe to say we won't be seeing a new season this year. If the series does get the renewal fans are hoping for, production would likely begin later, pointing towards a release in 2025 at the absolute earliest. It's a waiting game, but one we're sure will be worth it!
