Vice TV has renewed the Dark Side of the Ring professional wrestling documentary series. Deadline.com reports that the third season will feature fourteen episodes. Season one had six episodes, and the second season had ten episodes. The story indicates that the show will return in 2021.
Powell’s POV: Congratulations to executive producers Evan Husney and Jason Eisener on the renewal of an extended third season. Here’s hoping they are up to the challenge of maintaining the quality of the episodes despite the order for additional episodes.
They told some interesting stories over the course of the last few seasons. Although I am intrigued by the stories that they can and will tell in the next few seasons, I do realize that eventually they may run out of compelling stories to tell. I can sort of foresee more pieces on the trials and tribulations of individual wrestlers, wrestling personalities and tag teams etc. as opposed to episodes focusing on particular events (The first WrestleMania, The Montreal Screw Job, “The Plane Ride from Hell” etc.)
