Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons is not only coming back for a third season, but it’s already completed and, according to the show’s star, is in Netflix’s hands. Here’s what we know about season 3 of Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons and when Netflix will release it.
Netflix has already released some stunning docuseries this year onto the streaming service and Inside The World’s Toughest Prison is one of the standout highlights. Season 2 came exclusively to Netflix first for the second season but saw some big changes. For one, Raphael Rowe, a British reporter, was the show’s main star, replacing Paul Connolly, who presented the first season.
The second season saw us travel to even more dangerous prisons, including Brazil, Papua New Guinea, Ukraine, and Belize. The season dropped on Netflix on July 6th, 2018.
Season 3 will arrive in December 2018
Revealed in November, the third season of the docuseries is scheduled for release on December 14th, 2018. This was also confirmed by the shows main star, Raphael Row on Twitter.
