The thriller Red Eye has built a solid fanbase with its tense, high-stakes storytelling, and plenty of viewers are already wondering about the next chapter after season 2 wrapped up. Here’s a clear breakdown of everything known so far regarding a potential season 3.
Red Eye Season 3 Renewal Status
ITV hasn’t handed out an official renewal or cancellation notice yet. Season 2 only recently finished airing (with the finale hitting screens around mid-January 2026), so the network is likely still crunching viewership numbers, completion rates on ITVX, and overall buzz before making any calls. Updates tend to come within a few months in cases like this, especially for shows that perform well.
Red Eye Season 3 Expected Cast
If a third season moves forward, the main returning faces should include:
- Jing Lusi as DS Hana Li (the sharp, resilient detective always caught in the crossfire)
- Lesley Sharp as Madeline Delaney (MI5 boss with layers of secrets)
- Jemma Moore as Jess Li (Hana’s journalist sister bringing outside pressure)
The show loves shaking things up with guest stars or new leads each season—Richard Armitage anchored season 1, while Martin Compston stepped in for season 2 as Agent Brody. Expect another big-name addition to mix up the dynamics, though nothing has been announced.
Red Eye Season 3 Potential Plot
No firm dates exist yet, but production patterns from previous seasons point to a realistic window. If renewal comes soon, filming could kick off in mid-to-late 2026, leading to a premiere sometime in summer or autumn 2027. That lines up with the roughly 18-month cycle seen between seasons 1 and 2.
