Central Park returns to Apple TV+ this September, and a new trailer gives us a first glimpse of Season 3.

The 13-episode new chapter of the animated comedy will continue to follow the Tillermans, a family who live in Central Park. Owen, the park manager, and Paige, his journalist wife, raise their kids Molly and Cole in the world’s most famous park, while fending off hotel heiress Bitsy Brandenham and her long-suffering assistant Helen, who would love nothing more than to turn the park into condos.

In Season 3, as Bitsy continues her relentless pursuit to buy the park, Owen embarks on a new promotional campaign to make more people fall in love with it, and Paige finds herself busier than ever when she lands her first book deal.

The star-studded voice cast includes Josh Gad, Tituss Burgess, Daveed Diggs, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr, Emmy Raver-Lampman and Stanley Tucci, with Kristen Bell joining them in the new role of Abby, Paige’s (Hahn) little sister. Other new guest stars lending their voice talents to this season include Sam Richardson, Ike Barinholtz, Ben Schwartz, Zoë Chao, Ron Funches, Jack McBrayer, Amber Ruffin, Yvette Nicole Brown, Craig Robinson, Tim Meadows, David Alan Grier and more.

Together, they’ll be helping to bring to life more than 40 new original songs. Hailing from creator, writer and executive producer Loren Bouchard, Josh Gad and Nora Smith, Season 3 will premiere on Friday 9th September with the first three episodes, followed by one episode every Friday thereafter through to its finale on 18th November.

 

Central Park renewed for Season 3

12th March 2021

Apple TV+ has renewed Central Park for a third season.

From creator, writer and executive producer Loren Bouchard, Josh Gad and Nora Smith, the animated musical comedy follows the Tillermans, a family who live in Central Park. Owen, the park manager, and Paige, his journalist wife, raise their kids Molly and Cole in the world’s most famous park, while fending off hotel heiress Bitsy Brandenham and her long-suffering assistant Helen, who would love nothing more than to turn the park into condos.

The series voice cast includes Josh Gad, Leslie Odom Jr., Kathryn Hahn, Tituss Burgess, Daveed Diggs and Stanley Tucci, with Emmy Raver-Lampman replacing Kristen Bell in the role of Molly.

Season 2 of the show will premiere on Friday 25th June, with the Tillerman family continuing to navigate living in and caring for the world’s most famous park. Molly experiences the trials and tribulations of adolescence, Cole is challenged by a truly embarrassing moment at school, Paige continues to chase down the mayor’s corruption story, and Owen juggles managing the park, his staff and his family all with a smile on his face. Meanwhile, Bitsy inches ever closer to her sinister goal of claiming Central Park as her own; with Helen by her side, eternally wondering whether she’s made it into Bitsy’s will.

Months before it returns to our screens, though, Apple has already announced that it has greenlit a third outing for the Tillermans.

“Sweet, surreal and stuffed with memorable songs, this animated love letter to parks is a pure delight,” we wrote in our review.

 

Central Park is available on Apple TV+, as part of a £4.99 monthly subscription, with a seven-day free trial. For more information on Apple TV+ and how to get it, click here.
