Dickinson will return to Apple TV+ this November and a new trailer gives us a first look at the show’s third and final season.

Created, written, and executive produced by Alena Smith and executive produced by Hailee Steinfeld, the half-hour comedy series explores the constraints of society, gender, and family from the perspective of rebellious young poet Emily Dickinson.

It stars Hailee Steinfeld, Jane Krakowski, Toby Huss, Anna Baryshnikov, Ella Hunt and Adrian Blake Enscoe, with Wiz Khalifa guest starring as Death.Season 2 introduced guest stars, including Nick Kroll as Edgar Allan Poe, Timothy Simons as Frederick Law Olmsted, Ayo Edebiri as Hattie, and Will Pullen as Nobody, plus Finn Jones as Sam Bowles and Pico Alexander as Ship.

Since its global debut, Dickinson has earned a Peabody Award and a GLAAD Media Award nomination following its first season, and Steinfeld was recently nominated by the Hollywood Critics Association for the inaugural HCA TV Awards in the Best Actress in a Streaming Series, Comedy category.

Season 3 follows Emily Dickinson’s most productive time as an artist during the American Civil War and amid an equally fierce battle that divides her own family. As Emily tries to heal the divides around her, she wonders if art can help keep hope alive, and whether the future can be better than the past.

New guest stars will include Ziwe as Sojourner Truth, who also joined as a writer, Billy Eichner as Walt Whitman, and Chloe Fineman as Sylvia Plath, as well as returning favorites Zosia Mamet as Louisa May Alcott, and Will Pullen as Nobody.

“When I set out to make ‘Dickinson,’ I envisioned the show as a three-season journey that would tell the origin story of America’s greatest female poet in a whole new way, highlighting Emily’s relevance and resonance to our society today,” said Smith. “In my wildest dreams, I could never have imagined how rich and satisfying the experience of making this show would become, and the incredible joy it has been to tell Emily’s story along with Hailee and our brilliant, passionate cast and crew. I can’t wait to share our epic final season with the world, and to bring our audience along with us to the conclusion of Emily’s coming-of-age saga, as she continues to fight for her own poetic truth, while reckoning with so many of the issues that face us now. Thank you to Hailee Steinfeld and our entire ‘Dickinson’ team for making this such an unforgettable creative journey. I’m grateful for my partnership with Apple and can’t wait to continue telling more original stories with them in the years ahead.”

The 10-episode Season 3 will premiere on 5th November, with three episodes arriving at once, with the remaining episodes then arriving weekly on Fridays, until a finale on 24th December.
