A post-apocalyptic series from Denmark called ‘The Rain‘ somehow connects to the pandemic-stricken planet that is currently going through it. The spellbinding series follows two siblings as they struggle to survive in a world where the Rain harbours a deadly virus that infects everyone it comes in contact with. Season 2 of the programme released on giant streaming platform aka Netflix on May 17 of the next year, after the 4 May 2018 season 1 launch. Let’s find out what the future holds for the Danish series after a great third season that premiered on August 6, 2020.
In the downpour, Simone Andersen (Alba August) and her brother Rasmus (Lucas Lynggaard Tnnesen) spend the first six years underground, escaping a downpour that infects and destroys all other forms of life in addition to humans. Later, when the siblings reappear and start to search for their absent father, they discover that a firm called Apollon is truly to blame for the outbreak. The third Season is based on the idea that one of the series’ primary protagonists eventually turns into a villain.
The Rain Season 4 Renewal
Unfortunately, Season 4 will not air. The sad news of the show’s third season renewal was also announced by Netflix in June 2019.
In a tweet, the streaming platform suggested, “We’ll see you in 2020 for the third and final season.”
Although Netflix isn’t known for providing explanations, the streamer withheld the rationale for the choice. With the exception of those very popular programmes, Netflix is particularly careful to maintain the audience data for its programmes.
The Rain Season 4 Release Date
Anything is always feasible, but it will take a lot of work, and the work cannot be done just by the production crew. Recall how ardent followers were able to secure multiple renewals of Lucifer through their effective campaigns? In the end, Netflix’s main goal is to get viewers to its platform. Like the successful Tuca and Bertie cartoon series, The Rain can also find a home on other streaming services.
The likelihood of the show returning will persist if demand is great enough. The primary characters were murdered off in the most recent season, so if the programme gets a fourth chance, the showrunners and writers better come up with a brand-new story.
The Rain Season 4 Plot
The post-apocalyptic television series The Rain follows Rasmus and Simone as they search for their missing father and fight to stay alive in a dangerous setting. A highly contagious illness that has wiped out the population is carried by the rain. The sole means of survival are to avoid touch with sick people and keep out of the rainwater. Simone’s moving eulogy for Rasmus brought the series’ overall plot.
Rasmus was killed in an emotional argument between the siblings who used to look out for one another in the bunker at the start of ‘The Rain.’ Simone lost her whole family within three seasons, yet she now holds.
