Billy the Kid Season 3: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 15, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated June 15, 2025, 13:38 IST The Western drama Billy the Kid has captivated audiences with its thrilling take on the life of the infamous outlaw William H. Bonney, portrayed by Tom Blyth. With its blend of historical drama, action, and romance, the series has become one of MGM+'s top-performing originals. Following the dramatic conclusion of Season 2, fans are eagerly awaiting Billy the Kid Season 3, which has been confirmed as the show's final chapter. In this article, we dive into everything we know so far about Billy the Kid Season 3, including release date speculation, cast details, plot insights, and more. Billy the Kid Season 3 Release Date Speculation While MGM+ has officially renewed Billy the Kid for a third and final season, an exact release date has not been announced as of June 2025. However, based on production timelines and industry sources, we can make some educated guesses. Production Timeline: According to a post from ACTRA Alberta, filming for Season 3 is scheduled to begin on March 19, 2025, and continue through July 11, 2025, in Calgary and surrounding areas. Given that previous seasons wrapped filming within three to four months and premiered roughly six to nine months later, we can speculate a release window for Season 3. Estimated Release Window: Considering the production schedule and the release patterns of prior seasons (Season 1 premiered in April 2022, and Season 2 Part 1 in October 2023, followed by Part 2 in June 2024), Billy the Kid Season 3 is likely to premiere in late 2025, potentially between October and December. Some sources suggest a mid-2025 release, but this seems ambitious given the filming timeline. Billy the Kid Season 3 Expected Cast The cast of Billy the Kid Season 3 is expected to feature returning key players, though the full roster remains unconfirmed. Based on the Season 2 finale and official announcements, here are the speculated cast members: Tom Blyth as Billy the Kid : The charismatic lead will return to portray the titular outlaw in his final chapter. Blyth's performance has been a standout, earning praise for bringing depth to the legendary figure. Daniel Webber as Jesse Evans : Billy's longtime friend-turned-rival will return, with his arc focusing on a search for redemption and purpose after the Lincoln County War. Nuria Vega as Dulcinea del Tobosco : Billy's love interest, who helped him escape custody in Season 2, is confirmed to return as they navigate their relationship on the run. Alex Roe as Sheriff Pat Garrett: The lawman and former friend of Billy will continue his pursuit, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown. Billy the Kid Season 3 Potential Plot Billy the Kid Season 3 will pick up after the events of the Lincoln County War, which concluded in Season 2, Part 2 (June 23, 2024). The season is set to deliver a cinematic conclusion to Billy's saga, balancing historical accuracy with artistic liberties. Here's what we know about the plot so far: Billy's Final Stand: With the Lincoln County War over, Billy remains a wanted man with a bounty on his head. Sheriff Pat Garrett is determined to capture him, dead or alive, leading to a tense cat-and-mouse game. Billy faces a critical choice: flee New Mexico with Dulcinea to pursue a new life or stay to settle his score with Garrett, who betrayed him. Jesse Evans' Redemption Arc: Billy's longtime frenemy, Jesse Evans, stays in Lincoln, seeking atonement for his past actions. His journey may intersect with Billy's, adding emotional weight to the story. Historical Context with a Twist: The series has taken creative liberties with Billy's life, and Season 3 is expected to continue this approach. While the real Billy the Kid died at 21 in 1881, the show may explore alternate outcomes or embellish his final days for dramatic effect. However, changing his iconic death could risk pushing the revisionism too far, as it's a defining moment in his legacy. Where to Watch Billy the Kid Season 3 Billy the Kid Season 3 will be available exclusively on MGM+ in the United States. Viewers can access the series through the MGM+ streaming platform or as an add-on channel via Prime Video. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
