The season’s storyline is drawn from the novel, Scorpia.  

Amazon Freevee have confirmed that Season 3 of Alex Rider will launch on April 5th. It’s been a long time coming, partly due to COVID-19 related delays, since Season 2 back in December 2021

The series, based on the exploits of Anthony Horowitz’s teen spy, stars Otto Farrant in the title role. The upcoming season adapts Alex Rider’s revelatory fifth prose adventure Scorpia.

Season Three sets the teenage spy on the tail of his greatest enemy: the elusive criminal network known as Scorpia. Under new leadership, the criminal cabal plan to extort the British Government using their catastrophic new super-weapon: ‘Invisible Sword.’ Free of The Department and aided by his closest friends, Tom and Kyra, Alex embarks on a personal mission to destroy Scorpia once and for all. Little does he know, his ties to both organisations run deeper than he ever thought possible.

Returning alongside Otto Farrant, the series stars Vicky McClure (Trigger Point) as Mrs. Jones, Stephen Dillane as Alan Blunt, Brenock O’Connor as Tom Harris, Ronkẹ Adékọluẹ́jọ́ as Jack Starbright, and Marli Siu as Kyra Vashenko-Chao.

Joining for season 3 are Sofia Helin as Julia Rothman, Shelley Conn as Laura Kellner, Kevin McNally as Max Grendel, and Jason Wong as Nile.

Executive Producer and franchise author Anthony Horowitz said:

“It’s been such a great experience seeing the fan reaction to the first two seasons of Alex Rider.

‘I am thrilled this upcoming season will focus on Scorpia, as the story will lead Alex and viewers to question everything they’ve learned so far.”

Executive producers are Horowitz, Eleventh Hour’s Jill Green and Eve Gutierrez, writer Guy Burt, director Andreas Prochaska, and Otto Farrant.

All eight episodes of Alex Rider Season 3 land at Amazon Freevee on April 5th, 2024.
