ABC’s gripping true-crime series “The Con” captivated audiences with its exploration of real-life deception and the human cost of falling victim to elaborate schemes. Like a few of the previous releases from ABC, even this one hasn’t disappointed the fans.
After two successful seasons delving into high-profile cons like Fyre Festival and the college admissions scandal, viewers are eagerly awaiting news of a potential season 3. But, the question is, when is the release happening?
With so much uncertainty around The Con Season 3, we’d have to wait to see how things pan out for the show in the future.
When is The Con Season 3 Releasing?
The second season of The Con wrapped up in September 2022 and since then, ABC News has not shed any light on the show’s future. With so much uncertainty looming around, it looks like we’d have to wait to see how things pan out in the future.
To be fair, the show’s first season garnered a lot of positive attention from the fans but the second season ended up witnessing a decline. So, if you are wondering if things might get canceled for good, possibilities are seeing the viewership but we still don’t have any official news about a potential cancellation yet.
At this point, it is a waiting game because The Con Season 3 has a 50-50 chance of either getting canceled or returning sometime in the future. It could be 2025 or later.
What can we expect from The Con Season 3?
If renewed, season 3 of The Con can be expected to follow the established format of exploring captivating and complex real-life con scenarios.
The show typically focuses on one con per episode, diving deep into the planning, execution, and eventual unraveling of the scheme. We can expect detailed interviews with victims, perpetrators, law enforcement officials, and journalists involved in the cases.
Additionally, the show might incorporate expert commentary to provide psychological and sociological insights into the motivations behind both the con artists and the individuals who fall prey to their schemes.
It would be interesting to see how things pan out in the future if the show is renewed for a third season. With how gripping the first two seasons were, it makes sense that some of the fans are still hopeful that the third season will be even more grappling.
To be fair, it’s always intriguing to see the kind of crime reports that the creators showcase in each episode. Every episode is a standalone crime event, so we can expect the same to be followed in the future season too. The only thing that’s unknown at this point is the kind of true crimes that the showrunners will decide to highlight in the future season.
Who is returning to The Con Season 3?
If the show finally renews for a third season, there are chances that it will return with the standard cast that appeared in the first two seasons, including:
- Whoopi Goldberg
- Jonathan Walton
- Phillip-Charlie Daniell
- Allen Marsh
- Laci Mosley
- Melissa Korn
- Daniel Golden, etc.
