The Netflix adaptation of the A Series Of Unfortunate Events books, starring Neil Patrick Harris, has been working on using four to five of the published stories for each season of the show. With 13 novels in all to work from, the first season covered the first four, and the soon-to-debut season two deals with five through to nine. That leaves books ten to 13 for the third season.
But that, Neil Patrick Harris has confirmed, will also be the final run of the show.
Chatting to TV Guide, he’s confirmed that once they’re out of source material come the end of season three, the show will be drawing to a close.
“We’ve intentionally been very truthful and factual and loyal to the books”, he told TV Guide. “We’ve added a few characters that aren’t in the books, we’ve added some songs that you probably couldn’t put into the books, but for the most part we’re sticking to the structure of what already worked”.
Season two of the show arrives on Netflix at the end of March.
