Alex Rider season 3 will continue to follow the titular teenage spy as he takes on his greatest enemy: the elusive criminal network known as Scorpia.
The book Eagle Strike provided the plot of Alex Rider season 2, and now, two years later, season 3 picks up and is adapted from the book Scorpia.
Speaking about the series' return, author and executive producer Anthony Horowitz said in a statement: "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."
Meanwhile, executive producer Eve Gutierrez said: "We’re so excited to bring Anthony Horowitz’s fifth Alex Rider novel to life with this upcoming season of the show, a personal favourite of mine and a huge turning point in Alex’s journey.
“This season throws a spotlight on how all of the characters have grown and evolved over the last few years and we feel confident that fans will be gripped as Alex finds himself on the cusp of adulthood and torn between two dangerous organisations.”
