PBS Releases First Trailer for ‘The Durrells in Corfu’ Season 3
MASTERPIECE “The Durrells in Corfu” Season 3 Sundays, September 30 - November 18, 2018; 8-9pm ET Hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “an island of charm,” The Durrells in Corfu returns for a third season of eccentric family adventures on a Greek isle in the 1930s. Based on the memoirs of Gerald Durrell, the animal-loving youngest member of the clan, the series stars Keeley Hawes as the plucky widowed mother, Louisa Durrell; Josh O'Connor as her eldest son, Lawrence, who is destined to become a famous novelist; Callum Woodhouse as the hapless sportsman, Leslie; Daisy Waterstone as the lovelorn teen, Margo; and Milo Parker as Gerald. The bohemian Durrells fit right in with the light-hearted Greeks — except when they disastrously don’t. Shown: Lugaretzia (ANNA SAVVA), Louisa Durrell (KEELEY HAWES), Gerald Durrell (MILO PARKER), Margo Durrell (DAISY WATERSTONE), Leslie Durrell (CALLUM WOODHOUSE) & Lawrence Durrell (JOSH O’CONNOR) For editorial use only.

It’s a strangely bittersweet and exciting time to be an American fan of British family drama The Durrells in Corfu.
The series, based on conservationist Gerald Durrell’s trio of memoirs about his family’s time on the Greek island in the 1920s, will end after its fourth and final season, which just kicked off filming in the U.K. Yet, it’s hard to be too sad about this announcement just yet, as American fans still haven’t seen the drama’s third season yet, which was broadcast overseas earlier this year. So, in the strictest sense, we still have two full seasons to spend with the Durrell family, even if the series is officially wrapping up next year.
In short: Enjoy it while you can, folks.
Season 3 of The Durrells in Corfu will air on Masterpiece beginning September 30, and PBS just dropped the first trailer for the family drama’s Stateside debut.
Watch for yourselves below:
Star Keeley Hawes returns as Durrell family matriarch Louisa, alongside her fictional brood played by Josh O’Connor (Larry), Callum Woodhouse (Leslie), Daisy Waterstone (Margo) and Milo Parker (Gerry).
As Season 3 begins, the Durrells all look to tackle new challenges in their idyllic island home. Louisa seems determined to focus on her family rather than her love life, while Larry struggles to write, Leslie juggles multiple girlfriends, Gerry’s menagerie expands (again) and Margot takes up a new hobby. All in the midst of some truly amazing scenery, of course.
