Freedom has a price, the trailer for 3% Season 3 warns us.

Netflix’s first Brazilian original series, the thriller is set in a dystopian future, where the world is divided into progress and devastation. The link between the two sides – Offshore and Inland – is a rigorous and painstaking system called The Process. Everyone in Inland has a chance to go through The Process to live a better life in Offshore. But only 3% make it through… Season 3 picks up after one year has passed and the Shell, conceived as an alternative to the Offshore and the Inland, is now established as a place where everyone is welcome. But a catastrophic sandstorm, coupled with a suspicious malfunction, destroys its food and water supply. With the threat of hunger, what will it take for this new community to thrive?

The third season of 3% will be released on 7th June. Here’s the trailer:

 

3% is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.

 

Netflix’s 3% returns for Season 3 this June

11th May 2019

3% returns this June for Season 3, Netflix has confirmed.

The streaming giant’s first Brazilian original series, the thriller is set in a dystopian future, where the world is divided into progress and devastation. The link between the two sides – Offshore and Inland – is a rigorous and painstaking system called The Process. Everyone in Inland has a chance to go through The Process to live a better life in Offshore. But only 3% make it through…

“Ten years ago, it would be extremely doubtful that a show like this, despite holding a broad appeal, would make itself over to UK screens with such accessibility. However, 3% sits proudly nestled between the likes of hit shows such as Narcos and the muscular Hollywood fare that has come before it,” we wrote in our review.

Season 3 comprises eight episodes, with Pedro Aguilera as showrunner, leading a teaming of writers that includes Andrea Midori Simão, Carolina Rodrigues, Denis Nielsen, Ivan Nakamura and Marcelo Montenegro.

Bianca Comparato (Michelle), Vaneza Oliveira (Joana), Rodolfo Valente (Rafael), Laila Garrin (Marcela), Bruno Fagundes (André), Thais Lago (Elisa), Cynthia Senek (Glória), and Rafael Lozano (Marco) all star, while Daina Giannecchini, Dani Libardi and Jotagá Crema are at the helm to direct.

Season 3 picks up after one year has passed and the Shell, conceived as an alternative to the Offshore and the Inland, is now established as a place where everyone is welcome. But a catastrophic sandstorm, coupled with a suspicious malfunction, destroys its food and water supply. With the threat of hunger, the residents demand a Process to determine who will stay at the Shell. What will it take for this new community to thrive?

Season 3 premieres on Netflix on Friday 7th June.

 

3% Season 2 gets April release date

20th March 2018

“Process 105 will be the most important one in history.” That’s the ominous sound of Netflix getting its dystopia on, as its Brazilian thriller, 3%, finally has a Season 2 release date.

Netflix’s first Brazilian original series, 3% is set in a dystopian future, where the world is divided into progress and devastation. The link between the two sides – Offshore and Inland – is a rigorous and painstaking system called The Process. Everyone in Inland has a chance to go through The Process to live a better life in Offshore. But only 3% make it through…

“Ten years ago, it would be extremely doubtful that a show like this, despite holding a broad appeal, would make itself over to UK screens with such accessibility. However, 3% sits proudly nestled between the likes of hit shows such as Narcos and the muscular Hollywood fare that has come before it,” we wrote.

“3% doesn’t reach the heights of profound detail that take place in shows such as Mr. Robot and its episodic structure (each episode focuses on one character) feels out of place in a world of grand, over-arching narratives. However, the show’s breezy pace, enjoyable performances (standouts: Olivera and Valente, who find complexities in their frosty characters) and well-used arrangement of Brazil’s political landscape make for a brief but entertaining diversion. When you’re done with the Netflix shows that have been hogging the limelight, watch this.”

Season 2 lands on Netflix UK on Friday 27th April. Here’s the new video announcing the date – read on below for the full trailer:
