In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, creator Mike White said that the show’s third season was “supersized.”

“It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier. I don’t know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing … I’m super excited about the content of the season,” he said.

While the exact details of the third season are still being kept under wraps, fans are hopeful that the show will live up to the success of its first two installments.
