When will Riviera season 3 be on TV?
"You’d think that there was nothing left for the Riviera to throw at Georgina but series three is our most ambitious yet."
A third season of Riviera has been confirmed to be released on Sky Atlantic later this year.
This time, there will be eight episodes of the hit drama previously based around the lush paradise that is the French coast - and the locations will now range from Venice to Argentina.
In June, RadioTimes.com revealed an exclusive first look image at Riviera season three, showing Julia Stiles as Georgina, the star in a flowing red gown with Rupert Graves (Sherlock) behind her - both on location in Argentina – and now a first-look trailer has given us a sneak peek at the drama to come, as well as revealing the show's premiere date.

What is Riviera season 3 about?
Set a year after the end of season two, the new season will see Georgina’s, “loyalty, courage and resilience tested to the extreme,” according to Sky, with the character having abandoned the Riviera to start a new life, leaving behind all the damage and devastation.
Now a "rising star in an international art restitution" - and going by the name Georgina Ryland - the new season follows our heroine as she searches for stolen artworks around the world, taking her to such far-flung and exotic locations as Venice and Argentina.
The season also introduces Gabriel Hirsch (Rupert Graves), a "charismatic" individual who accompanies Georgina on her adventures.
Stiles herself stated, “The expansion of this season, in terms of the gorgeous new countries we visit, as well as our new cast members, means the web is even more tangled for Georgina. I am thrilled to navigate this gilded conspiracy through her eyes and with Rupert Graves by her side.”

Series three will see Georgina escape the French Riviera in favour of a host of exotic locations. For her to take a detour to Venice is certainly a bit different, but a trip to Argentina just highlights the new heights that series three will reach.
