Season 3 of the show is set to premiere next fall.
The Newsroom will be back for its third and last season. After almost four months from the conclusion of season 2, HBO has announced the renewal of the Aaron Sorkin’s series. Production of the third season is set to start this spring and to premiere next fall.
The official renewal comes after months of talks between Sorkin and HBO, with speculation whether Sorkin would come back given his busy feature schedule. The producer of The Newsroom just turned in his high-profile Jobs script, and will now focus his attention to giving his HBO series a proper conclusion.
“The Newsroom is classic Aaron Sorkin – smart, riveting and thought-provoking,” said HBO Programming president Michael Lombardo. “I’m sure this farewell season will be one to remember.”
Sorkin is back as executive producer/showrunner, with former The Office showrunner Paul Lieberstein joining him and executive producers Alan Poul and Scott Rudin as executive producer in season 3.
Returning cast regulars include Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, Sam Waterston, John Gallagher, Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Dev Patel and Olivia Munn.
