All eight episodes will be released on Friday April 5 on Amazon Freevee in the UK, US and Germany, closing the final chapter of Alex's journey to self-discovery.
“It’s been such a great experience seeing the fan reaction to the first two seasons of Alex Rider,” Horowitz said. “I am thrilled this upcoming season will focus on Scorpia, as the story will lead Alex and viewers to question everything they’ve learned so far.”
Based on Horowitz’s best-selling book franchise, Alex Rider is a London-based teenager who, unbeknownst to him, has been trained for the dangerous world of espionage since he was a child.
Executive producer Eve Gutierrez said: “We’re so excited to bring Anthony Horowitz’s fifth Alex Rider novel to life with this upcoming season of the show, a personal favorite of mine and a huge turning point in Alex’s journey. This season throws a spotlight on how all of the characters have grown and evolved over the last few years, and we feel confident that fans will be gripped as Alex finds himself on the cusp of adulthood and torn between two dangerous organizations.”
Season three puts the teenage spy on the trail of his greatest enemy: the elusive criminal network known as Scorpia. Under new leadership, the criminal gang plans to extort the British government with their catastrophic new superweapon: 'Invisible Sword'.
Free from The Department and aided by his best friends, Tom and Kyra, Alex embarks on a personal mission to destroy Scorpia once and for all. Little does he know that his ties with both organizations run deeper than he ever thought possible.
Season three returns with Otto Farrant as Alex Rider, Vicky McClure as Mrs. Jones, Stephen Dillane as Alan Blunt, Brenock O'Connor as Tom Harris, Ronkẹ Adékọluẹ́jọ́ as Jack Starbright and Marli Siu as Kyra Vashenko-Chao return.
As previously announced, new actors have been added this season, including Sofia Helin as Julia Rothman, Shelley Conn as Laura Kellner, Kevin McNally as Max Grendel and Jason Wong as Nile.
Horowitz serves as executive producer alongside Eleventh Hour's Jill Green and Eve Gutierrez, series writer Guy Burt, director Andreas Prochaska and actor Otto Farrant. The series is distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures Television.
In the Netherlands, Alex Rider can be viewed on Videoland, in Belgium on Streamz. It is not yet known when the third season will be available on both streamers.
