It’s a little under two months until Banshee returns in the US for its third season.
If you haven’t seen season two of Banshee and don’t want any spoilers then we suggest you stop reading. If you do want to know all of the latest on season 3 then keep reading.
Banshee is without a doubt one of the best shows on TV at the moment and the show’s second season managed to exceed our expectations by upping the ante in every way. The season two finale saw Lucas (Antony Starr) and Ana (Ivana Milicevic) finally free from Rabbit (Ben Cross) after the evil gangster committed suicide.
Elsewhere in the episode Rebecca (Lili Simmons) killed Alex Longshadow (Anthony Ruivivar) which in turn freed Proctor (Ulrich Thomsen) from prison. Deva (Ryann Shane) revealed that she knew Lucas was her father and Chayton (Geno Segers) decided to return to Banshee, which can only mean trouble!
Ahead of the show’s return, we’ve rounded up all of the information we can find so you can prepare yourself for the show’s return. Keep reading to find out what’s been confirmed so far…
