Can they survive each other? That’s the question at the heart at The Rain’s third and final season, which arrives on August.

The Danish Netflix Original series is one of the most viewed non-English Netflix originals with no fewer than 30 million viewers so far. The Rain season 3 will pick up where the second season left off. Years after the rain decimated the population of Scandinavia, Simone and Rasmus find themselves at odds on how to save humanity. Rasmus wants to infect everyone with the same beta version of the virus that turned him into a superhuman, while Simone insists that there must be a cure. Will they manage to put their differences aside in order to do the right thing?

Season 3 stars Alba August (Simone), Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen (Rasmus), Mikkel Boe Følsgaard (Martin), Sonny Lindberg (Jean), Lukas Løkken (Patrick), Clara Rosager (Sarah), Evin Ahmad (Kira), Nathalie Madueño (Fie), and Johannes Kuhnke (Sten). New cast members are Rex Leonard (Daniel), Cecilia Loffredo (Luna), Henrik Birch (Lars) and Annemette Andersen (Trine).

The final season, comprising six episodes, will premiere on 6th August. Here’s the trailer:

Netflix renews The Rain for third and final season

21st June 2019

Netflix has renewed The Rain for a third season, and that season will also be its last.

The post-apocalyptic drama is created by Jannik Tai Mosholt, Esben Toft Jacobsen and Christian Potalivo and marked the first Danish original show for the streaming giant. The series is set in a world where a brutal virus has wiped out most of the population. The dystopian survival thriller follows two young siblings as they join a group of young survivors setting out to find out whether a new world has begun somewhere else. They hope that their father is somewhere out there with answers.

After proving popular globally, particularly in the US, UK, Brazil, France and Germany, Netflix swiftly announced it had renewed the show for a second season. That second run was met with a mixed response with our review saying that the series had lost sight of what made Season 1 so effective.

“At six episodes long, at least Season 2 is brief. But, in that time, it diverges from the show’s original premise so much that it hardly feels like the same series,” we wrote in our review.

Nonetheless, within a month of its return, The Rain has been forecast to fall a third time, with a final run to wrap up the story for good.
