'Victoria' Season 3 Will Focus On Victoria's Pregnancies

Writer Daisy Goodwin teases that Victoria Season 3 will lean into the pregnancy drama between Queen Victoria and husband Albert in the next year.

The good news for fans of Victoria is that Season 3 has been officially greenlit for another run in 2019, despite the ratings for Season 2 crashing down to earth last fall. (It did not help that absent Poldark to beat up on every week, Victoria found itself airing directly against J.K. Rowling's highly anticipated TV adaptation of The Cormoran Strike Mysteries.) The announcement included the promise that both leads, Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes, would be returning as Victoria and Albert respectively.

Not that everyone else is leaving. Barring another Eva Myles situation where the actress left to lead another series, necessitating writing the Mrs. Jenkins character out between seasons, fans should expect most of the rest of the cast to stay put. ITV most likely made sure to include Coleman and Hughes' staying on so that there would be no "recasting" confusion since The Crown over on Netflix is recasting every two seasons as the timeline progresses, and they are not.
