'Into the Badlands' is back again with another super sized season (16 episodes this time, up from last season's 10), starting on Sunday, April 22 at 10/9c on AMC in the US and Monday, April 23 on Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

It hasn't been officially confirmed, but it is assumed that the season will be split into two halves, with the second half airing later this year.

Season 3 of 'Into the Badlands' finds Sunny living off the grid, doing his best to provide for his infant son, Henry, in the wake of Veil's death. It is only when Henry contracts a mysterious illness that Sunny must join forces with Bajie and journey back into the Badlands, where the Widow and Baron Chau are entrenched in a drawn-out war that has destabilized the entire region. No longer supported by Tilda or Waldo, the Widow must find new allies in Lydia and in Nathaniel Moon — the former regent who lost his hand to Sunny and Bajie in Season 2. But when a mysterious nomadic leader called Pilgrim arrives in the Badlands on a mission to restore Azra and usher in a new era of "peace," old enemies must band together to defend the Badlands.

So behind on other shows that I like (Americans, Atlanta, TWD, Preacher). I can't get behind on this!

Some of the best action choreography on TV, paired with some of its silliest storytelling. I'm in for S3.

Even though I still have way too many problems with the show I'm still gonna watch, where the Widow and Tilda go, I follow.

Hopefully MK dies on the way back to his home planet at some point.

edit: just saw the gifs, got a chuckle out of me.

I'm excited for this. Season 2 was dope.

They still gotta find a way to kill of MK though. And Widow Jr while they're at it.

Hopefully they get the fight choreography back to season 1 levels, too many quick cuts in S2. The ending of S2 is still ridiculous so I don't have much hope on the narrative front.

I'm glad its still going......but man, the Choreography of Season 2 was nowhere even CLOSE to the fights we had in S1.

Binge watched season 2 on Netflix recently. I'll probably watch Season 3 when it comes to Netflix or it's done and binge watch it then, but either way I'm looking forward to it :).

I'm so ready for this! I'm witch the Widow too.

Had no idea we would be getting even more episodes than last season, pretty cool, but hopefully they can keep up the quality by splitting it up into two halves.

Excited! Praying MK gets poochie'd because he's an insufferable douchebag.

Gotta say I can't recognize this. I had heard people complain and so I waited all season for him to get annoying but it never happened.

I also don't follow with the narrative being poor, I thought it was a clear improvement upon Season 1.

Really did not like what they did with Veil, passing her around to groups and then killing her stupidly. But I'll keep watching for Sunny, the Widow, and the ridiculous fights. I love the colors in this show so much.

IndieWire said:
Loyalties may change, but one thing remains constant on "Badlands": The giddy glee taken in the glorious and dazzling fight scenes, which are just hyperreal enough to tap into a delight over the spectacle, as opposed to dismay over the deaths that ensue. When rating children's' programming for families, both the MPAA and the TV parental guidelines make a distinction between realistic violence and "fantasy violence" — with the fantasy violence, supposedly, meant to be more palatable. "Badlands" is definitely not for kids, but the same principle applies here. Because if you're able to buy in, the cast flies through the air with swords drawn, childlike glee is the natural reaction.

Hell yeah. Can't wait for Sunny to pretty much kick everyone with Bajie and MK again. I found MK much better in the 2nd season.

I want to be excited for this returning, I enjoyed the first two seasons quite a bit until the very end.

but I don't have high hopes for Sunny having to watch over his son.
Going in with really low expectations and hoping I am blown away instead.
still angry about the crap writing that had a professional killer like Sunny not making sure his enemy was dead though :/
