The Ex-Wife has not been officially renewed for Season 3 as of mid-May 2026.
Season 2 (also called Series 2 in the UK) recently premiered on Channel 5 on Friday, May 15, 2026 (9 pm episodes), with all episodes available earlier on Paramount+ (April 2025).
Current Status
- Renewal uncertain: Paramount+ and Channel 5 have not confirmed a third season. Some reports and fan sites speculate it could happen, with one unofficial Paramount tracking page claiming Season 3 is “in production” and eyed for a July 2026 release. However, reliable sources like Wikipedia list only two seasons, and recent coverage (post-Season 2 premiere) notes no official greenlight.
- One analysis of the Season 2 finale suggests a third season is unlikely, as it appears to wrap up major storylines (including a decisive fate for a key character). Viewers are advised to watch the ending before speculating further.
Quick Background
- Season 1 (2022, Paramount+): 4 episodes, psychological thriller based on Jess Ryder’s novel. Stars Céline Buckens as Tasha, Tom Mison as Jack, Janet Montgomery as Jen (replaced by Katie McGrath in Season 2), and others like Jordan Stephens.
- Season 2: Picks up three years later. Tasha hides in Cyprus with her daughter while past threats resurface. Filmed partly in Cyprus.
The show has built a solid fanbase for its twists and tension, but as a thriller that often resolves its central conflicts, it may conclude as a limited series. No cast announcements, plot details, or production updates for Season 3 exist from official channels yet.
Watch it on: Paramount+ (full seasons) or catch Season 2 weekly on Channel 5 / My5. Keep an eye on Paramount+ announcements for any renewal news in the coming weeks.
