Is ‘The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder' returning for season 3? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 19, 2025, 20:15 IST Last updated June 19, 2025, 20:02 IST The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder has captured hearts with its vibrant revival of the beloved Disney Channel series. Fans are buzzing with excitement, wondering if Penny Proud and her family will return for a third season. Below, we dive into everything we know about The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder Season 3, including its renewal status, potential release date and more. Is The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder Season 3 Confirmed? Yes, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder Season 3 is officially happening! Disney+ announced the renewal on June 13, 2023, during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. This news thrilled fans, as the revival has already surpassed the original series in seasons, marking a significant milestone for the show. Production reportedly began recently, signaling that the series is moving forward steadily. When Will The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder Season 3 Release? While Disney has not confirmed an exact release date, speculation points to a potential premiere in late 2025 or early 2026. The first season debuted in February 2022, followed by the second in February 2023, suggesting a pattern of annual releases. However, a now-deleted Instagram post by co-creator Bruce W. Smith in March 2024 hinted that Season 3 could arrive 'real soon,' though no specific timeline was provided. Some sources estimate a February 2024 release, but this seems unlikely given the recent start of production. A late 2025 release aligns better with typical animation production schedules. What Will the Plot of Season 3 Be About? Details about Season 3's storyline are scarce, but a preview at the 2024 Annecy Festival revealed that the season will kick off with a two-part premiere set in Paris. Penny and her best friend Dijonay Jones join Oscar and Trudy on a vacation, only for the parents to be abducted by a secret agent. This leads to a Mission: Impossible -style rescue mission, promising high-stakes adventure and humor. The season will likely continue exploring Penny's teenage challenges, family dynamics, and cultural themes like self-worth and identity, as seen in previous seasons. The show's setting in Emilyville (formerly Smithville, renamed after Season 2's 'Juneteenth' episode) will provide fresh backdrops for the Prouds' antics.

Everything to Remember from ‘Squid Game' Season 1 and 2
After taking the world by storm in 2021, the curtain is about to close on Hwang Dong-hyuk's 'Squid Game.' Where Season 2 premiered over three years after its predecessor, 'Squid Game 3' hits Netflix barely six months on the heels of that. Season 2's characters, stakes, and cliffhanger might be fresh in the minds of many, but it's worth revisiting details all of 'Squid Game' ahead of its final hurrah. More from IndieWire 'Matlock' Production Designer Adam Rowe on How Two Canceled Shows Gave the CBS Hit Its Scale 'Nobody Wants This' Creator Erin Foster Set Out to Make Her Own 'Fleabag' - Her 'Really Sweet' Rom-Com Took Her by Surprise In case you haven't made the time to re-binge all of Season 1 and 2 (or even if you have!), here's a refresher on what happened in 'Squid Game' and what might be critical to Season 3. While most of the characters from Season 1 are dead, Season 2's key players are still at large — but in terrible danger unless Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) succeeds in his master plan. In Season 1, our protagonist was a little selfish, a bit bumbling, but a sweet guy who wanted to provide for his mother and daughter. But after a week in the Games and watching hundreds of people die violently before him due to the whims of the wealthy — not to mention his mother's sudden death during that time — Gi-hun turned into a grave, hardened, and barely recognizable person (and not just because of that drastic dye job). In the years between his first and second time in the Game, Gi-hun appears to have barely kept in touch with his daughter, who moved to America with her mother and stepfather, or with Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), one of his remaining friends. He spent the prize money only on his search for the Games, part of a greater mission to end them for good. And the smile from his old player ID? Gone, probably forever. In Season 1, Gi-hun and the other players took a vote on whether or not to stay in the game after Red Light, Green Light — a vote which ended in them going home and returning to their lives. But shortly after, many took the opportunity to return to the games, risking their lives rather than keep the ones they had. This voting returned in Season 2 as a perverse ritual; after an initial vote to stay, players were required to vote again after every game; and every time so far, they've stayed. Each person received a patch to wear on their tracksuit indicating how they voted — essentially creating two factions within the dorms. Players have tried to appeal to those on opposing sides, or resorted to more violent means when that doesn't work. In Season 1, Gi-hun filed a police report about everything he saw in the games, which prompted police officer Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) to sneak in as a guard — and learn that his missing brother In-ho (Lee Byung-hun) is none other than Front Man, the highest-ranking authority within the game and a former winner. The brothers faced off in the Season 1 finale, with Jun-ho taking a bullet and falling off a cliff… but his quest to expose the games didn't end there. In-ho had a pregnant wife before he entered the Games, but she died while waiting for him to secure funds for her surgery. With nothing left to fight for, he joined the Games and became the Front Man. In Season 2, he joins the games undercover, casting the first decisive vote to keep playing before switching sides and gaining Gi-hun's trust (but ultimately losing Jung-bae's when he kills someone during the game 'Mingle'). Gi-hun and Jun-ho teamed up in Season 2, before Gi-hun decided to reenter the games and lost all contact with the outside world. While he risks his life in the competition and tries to save individual players, Jun-ho is on a boat with a team of mercenaries determined to find the island. But as the Season 2 finale revealed, their biggest threat is the boat captain, who is not what he seems. Plenty of players are content to dispense with societal decorum and start fully murdering each other in the Games — but not Gi-hun. He never partook of dormitory violence, sacrificed other players, or even pushed them to create a disadvantage. He won the Games on a technicality, because Sang-woo (Park Hae-soo) stabbed himself after all the death and pain he wrought. And until shooting at the masked guards in Season 2, Gi-hun hadn't killed or tried to harm anyone, even if he felt the desire — but he stands as evidence that violence leaves a mark even upon those who survive and witness it. He feels blood on his hands from what he's seen, if not anything he's done. But now that he shot at those guards, waged a failed rebellion, and lost his last friend, what new lengths might our hero go to in the end? As of the Season 2 finale, surviving players include ex-military members Hyun-ju (Park Sung-hoon) and Dae-ho (Kang Ha-neul), mother and son duo Geum-ja (Kang Ae-shim) and Young-sik (Yang Dong-geun), expecting mother Jun-hee (Jo Yuri), and several others of note (R.I.P. Thanos). In-ho is back in his role as Front Man after the psychological experiment of entering the games and befriending Gi-hun, while No-eul (Park Gyuyoung) will continue to offer viewers a look inside the guards' lives. Many of these supported Gi-hun's rebellion even if they didn't take part actively (or in some cases, both — looking at you, Dae-ho), which means they relied on him to get them out of the Games. That trust may be shaken now, along with Gi-hun's actual ability to save them. Before he enters the game, Gi-hun is seen trying to make ends meet in his daily life, including daytime gambling with old friend Jung-bae. In Season 2, they met in the game, immediately giving Gi-hun something to fight for, but also something to lose. In the Season 2 finale, the Front Man killed Jung-bae right in front of him, another devastating death on Gi-hun's conscience. 'Squid Game 3' premieres June 27 on Netflix.

Sam Spector picks Alan Cumming's 5 best looks from ‘The Traitors,' including that ‘showstopper' wedding tuxedo dress
Sam Spector's life would never be the same after Alan Cumming referred to himself as "a less butch Agatha Christie in a fabulous outfit" in the first season of The Traitors. All of a sudden, Cumming's wardrobe became a character of its own, and for some fans, seeing what the host wears next is even more important than finding out who'll be banished from the castle. The costume designer is responsible for bringing the flair to a reality TV show that often delves into dark themes like murder and betrayal. Renowned for his gender-fluid designs and fun approach to blending historical references with a modern eye, Spector is the mastermind behind Cumming's ever-changing wardrobe. He recently took a break from filming Season 4 in Scotland to talk to Gold Derby about his five favorite looks from Season 3, including the "campy glam" turquoise armor and the "showstopper" wedding tuxedo dress. More from GoldDerby Marc Maron's 'Are We Good?': What happens when stars clash with their documentary filmmakers TV's double threats: 10 actors eyeing nominations for both comedy and drama at the 2025 Emmys Beyond Alexis Bledel: 7 other times actors withdrew themselves from Emmy consideration The Traitors is a three-time Emmy winner for reality casting (2023), competition program (2024), and reality host (2024). Spector is seeking his first career Emmy nomination this year, and he has submitted the Season 3 episode "Til Death Us Do Part" for consideration in the category of Best Costumes For Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Programming. "This look was an extension of the opening look where Alan rides in on a horse," Spector says about the host's turquoise kilt costume. "For the big reveal, we made a custom chest piece that was inspired by armor, but I wanted a campy glam color to make it perfectly Alan." Peacock "The wedding look was intended to be a showstopper," the costume designer proclaims. "While Alan comes out at breakfast in a traditional masculine suit, I wanted to play with gender for the wedding and make a tuxedo dress. We custom draped fabric to attach to the suit to appear as half suit, half dress. We love playing with gender. I also worked with Zero Waste Daniel for the appliqué, in which I wanted to do a cross between a boutonniere and bouquet a bride would wear. This piece is made from recycled material." Peacock As for the baby blue look, Spector notes, "The mission in this episode took place in a creepy dollhouse so I was inspired by creepy horror dolls. We used an off-the-rack Paul Smith suit for breakfast and swapped out the sleeves to resemble a horror doll's dress. We embellished the look with a baby doll head as a pocket square that was bedazzled with red rhinestones in the eyes." Peacock If you got Mary Queen of Scots vibes while seeing Cumming wearing blue velvet and a gold cage corset, that was the intention. "While researching historical Scottish figures, I realized we hadn't used Mary Queen of Scots as a reference," the designer explained. "I immediately texted Alan and he was onboard create a look inspired by her. We worked with Michael Ngo to build a glam/punk/goth Mary Queen of Scots look." Peacock Finally, Spector told us all about Cumming's black-and-white chess ensemble. "This mission took place on a huge chess board with life-size chess pieces," he stated. "I wanted to play with prints and proportions here, and custom created this head piece made out of chess pieces." Peacock Last month at a murder mystery luncheon for press, Spector teased the upcoming fourth cycle of The Traitors, saying, "Each season, we have taken it to the next level. This one is by far the most dramatic in terms of costume. We're bringing a whole new level of style. This season, we're bringing a lot more full custom costume design." Tour our photo gallery below to see which famous faces will take part in Season 4, due out in 2026. The first three seasons of The Traitors are streaming now on Peacock.
