"As the family desperately try to forge new lives amidst the betrayals of the past, destructive patterns start to emerge, and soon it’s Shiv who might not want to face some hard truths.

The new season will once again be written by Nancy Harris and directed by Paddy Breathnach.
"I am truly thrilled The Dry is coming back for another round with Shiv and the Sheridan family," said Harris. "It’s been a joy to work with Paddy Breathnach, Emma Norton and this truly gifted ensemble cast to tell this story.
"Season three digs into the roots of the Sheridans dysfunctional dynamic, unearthing long held secrets and taking our characters in new and unexpected directions. It’s going to be a wild ride and we can’t wait to share it with our audience."
The Dry seasons 1-2 are available to stream on ITVX. Season three will arrive on the platform in 2026.
