Will There Be El Cid Season 3?
The very long-awaited El Cid season 3 still doesn’t have a release date. Does this mean there will never be a season 3 or is there just a shooting delay? After researching for season 3 a lot, whatever information we could gather is that El Cid has already been renewed for season 3 but there has not been a confirmed release date for the show.
There could be many reasons behind it. The main reason could be the covid pandemic that hit the world 3 years back. Many web series and movies have already been delayed due to the Covid pandemic. Because of various restrictions all around the globe, many web series could not begin their shooting and that’s why many of them are facing delays.
Another reason could be the surety of the makers. Maybe they have not found a perfect plot they have to give to season 3 or maybe some of the cast are engaged in some other activities and a delay in season 3 could be seen.
But you guys don’t have to worry as El Cid season 3 will definitely return. We just have to wait for an official release date or for official confirmation of season 3.
