Though Simms didn’t uncover who will return, he teased that the character had played a massive part in the season-long arc before. Before we could come up with the guess, Simms cleared that it’s not Nick Kroll as Simon the Devious. Instead, the person is the one whom we all know and love.
Has Filming Begun For Season 3?
In the panel discussion, Simms revealed that they are currently working on the script, which seems breathtaking. The third season was set to begin filming this February. But Simms confirmed that filming had been shifted due to the pandemic-safety restrictions. And now they’re looking for a fall return date. So it’s more likely that the upcoming season would take a year or more to land on our screens.

As per Robinson, deeming the second season’s critical reception, now they can do whatever they want to do with the show. The last season appeared as catching the lighting in the bottle. Though Robinson didn’t disclose much about the third season, he teased that they loved to explore something like Jackie Daytona’s episode.
He said that the episode allowed them to develop some unique format and push the series into a new setup. So that they can explore some new opportunities to experiment with the characters and storyline. But Robinson assured everyone that it wouldn’t be another Jackie’s adventure, as they know in which direction they want to go. Well, Robinson and Simms didn’t reveal what’s in the store. But it’ll be great for our appetite.
