Amazon Prime Video announced their hit comedy series Harlem for a Season 3 with a bittersweet trailer announcement. While the streaming platform confirmed that Season 3 will return with new episodes on January 23, 2025, the trailer announcement also revealed that it will be the show's last season.

While the news is saddening that the show will end with Season 3, the four friends, Camille, Quinn, Angie, and Tye, are still up for another adventure in the show's third season.

Season 1 debuted in December 2021, and it follows the story of these four women who met in their college days at New York University. Now, they navigate family, relationships, and careers together in their 30s in the show's titular town. Female friendship and support are the central themes of the show.

Harlem is created by Tracy Oliver and stars Meagan Good, Grace Byers, Shoniqua Shandai, and Jerrie Johnson in the titular roles, who will return for Season 3. They will also be joined by Tyler Lepley's Ian.

The trailer drop for Harlem Season 3 confirms that the show will end with Season 3. In an interview with ELLE Magazine, Oliver discussed reaching this difficult decision,

“TV continues to evolve, and we are in a different climate than we were in 2018, when I first sold the show. We were hit with several setbacks, including a pandemic shutdown in the middle of production and a strike and, honestly, surviving all of that is already a major blessing,”

She added:

“That said, I’d go for many more seasons if it were up to me. But knowing this was the end going into it, I approached it with that in mind. I wanted everyone’s stories to feel satisfying, even if it’s not what the audience expected.”

Oliver also discussed that the show's whole cast feels immense respect for one another, and the four women have grown in their personal lives while playing these characters on screen. She has also confirmed that this last ride will be filled with adventures, friendships, and motherhood in the last season.


What to expect from Harlem Season 3?

Harlem Season 2 ended with a major cliffhanger where it was revealed that one of the four friends is pregnant. Season 3 will finally reveal which women are about to enter motherhood.

In addition, as seen from the trailer, Tye and Quinn will find new love interests, and Angie will achieve a career milestone as she lands a role in Girls Trip: The Musical. Camille and Ian's relationship will suffer problems as she sees him kissing a new woman named Portia.

The friends are also seen meeting with an OBGYN, who tells the group, “You’re totally fine, and so is your baby," but we still don't know who the would-be mother is.

In an interview with ELLE Magazine, Oliver teased about Season 3:

“Season 3 is all about our women being forced to grow and evolve to that next stage of life, with or without a map on how to do it,”

She added:

“It’s about growing up and making difficult adult choices while grieving the fantasy version of our lives we wanted when we were younger. I wanted to explore those big decisions that myself and many other women are forced to explore such as motherhood...''

Harlem Season 3 will drop weekly episodes on Amazon Prime, starting from January 23, 2025.
