‘Impact Winter’ returns with season 3

The premiere date for Impact Winter Season 3, the groundbreaking vampire-apocalypse audio drama, has been announced. The third season will be available on Audible starting July 18.

The new season features a mix of newcomers and returning cast members. New additions include Christina Chong (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Black Mirror, Doctor Who), Ali Ariaie (The Great, Persuasion), Jordan Long (Unforgotten, Prime Suspect: Tennison), Gary Oliver (Game of Thrones, Atlantis), Imogen King (Clique, Suspect), Emma Fischer (Berlin Station, The Deal, Counterpart), Eve Ponsonby (Victor Frankenstein, The White Queen, Misfits), and Arazou (Cinderella, Ready Player One).

Writer Travis Beacham expressed his excitement about the upcoming season, stating, “Working with Audible, Skybound, and Anonymous Content, and this incredible cast for the third season continues to be about the most fun I’ve ever had. It’s a story I’ve been living with for some time now and could never have done justice without the support of such an impassioned team of collaborators. I think this season has some genuinely wild card turns that I can’t wait for people to hear.”

According to a statement, the forthcoming season continues six months after the dramatic conclusion of Season 2. “Winter grows colder, a dire gloom tightens her grip on the land, and Hope Dunraven grapples with strange voices that insist she alone may hold the key to defeating it. But how can one mortal woman stand against such suffocating darkness — when that darkness is her own sister, Darcy? The tangled world of Impact Winter grows vast in Season 3, widening to reveal shadowy new adversaries, ancient mysteries, untold gods, unexpected monsters, and a battle that will forever change everyone it touches, and test both Dunraven sisters as never before.”
