“When I set out to make ‘Dickinson,’ I envisioned the show as a three-season journey that would tell the origin story of America’s greatest female poet in a whole new way, highlighting Emily’s relevance and resonance to our society today,” show creator, writer, and executive producer Alena Smith said in a statement. “In my wildest dreams, I could never have imagined how rich and satisfying the experience of making this show would become, and the incredible joy it has been to tell Emily’s story along with Hailee and our brilliant, passionate cast and crew. I can’t wait to share our epic final season with the world, and to bring our audience along with us to the conclusion of Emily’s coming-of-age saga, as she continues to fight for her own poetic truth, while reckoning with so many of the issues that face us now.

The first three episodes of Dickinson season 3 will premiere on Friday, November 5, 2021 on Apple TV+. The following episodes will be released weekly, and the series finale will arrive on December 24, 2021.
The series was originally renewed for a third installment in October 2020, just months before season 2 premiered. Smith had previously told Town & Country that enduring the pandemic in 2020 affected the writing for the final episodes. “We were writing season three over the summer and fall in the pandemic, and I would say that that experience certainly came to bear on the writing of season three,” she told the outlet.
