[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “The Third Day” finale, Episode 6, “Last Day – The Dark,” including the ending.]
Unlike so many modern TV mysteries, “The Third Day” finale cuts right to the heart of the matter — and no, I’m not just talking about poor Mr. Martin.
Directed by “Winter” helmer Philippa Lowthorpe and written by Kit de Waal, Dean O’Loughlin, and creator Dennis Kelly, the 61-minute final chapter starts by delivering what fans have wanted all along: Sam (Jude Law) and Helen (Naomie Harris) in the same room, at the same time, answering our long-lingering questions. No, the child Sam thinks is their son Nathan cannot, in fact, be Nathan; he’s too young, his eyes are the wrong color, and, as Helen screams, “he’s not even the right color!” Yes, Sam is in the middle of another “episode,” where his grief deludes him into believing wild theories.

HBO miniseries The Third Day has released its full trailer, proving that it has quite a lot to offer in addition to its headliners in Jude Law, Naomie Harris, Katherine Waterston and Emily Watson. Indeed, while we’ve already caught a teaser for the concept-driven drama, the latest clip is a fantastical barrage of intriguingly contrasting imagery of wonderment and terror.
The series comes from creator/executive producer Dennis Kelly, who, joined by Dean O’Loughlin and Kit de Waal, scripted the series for directors Philippa Lowthorpe and Marc Munden. This creative coalition has concocted a most intriguing format for The Third Day, which—set against the backdrop of a mysterious island off the British coast—has been divided into two distinct stories set in two distinct seasons, centered on Jude Law’s character for “Summer,” followed chronologically by Naomie Harrris’s character for “Winter.”

The Third Day represents an intriguingly original storytelling style for an HBO offering. Indeed, the six-part limited series is headlined by Jude Law and Naomie Harris… each of whom won’t likely share the screen, since the series is divided into two halves, each centering on their respective characters during different times. Additionally, one episode will showcase an interactive element.
Dennis Kelly, creator of the acclaimed U.K. sci-fi series, Utopia (which he’s currently remaking as a U.S. Amazon series), co-created the series with Felix Barrett. Set on a mysterious island off the English coast, the show bears a deliberately ambiguous mystery-box-esque plot filled with creepy small-town/cultish characters evocative of Midsommar or The Wicker Man.
In the latest news, The Third Day has just landed an HBO release date, which had been a mystery unto itself after a lengthy Covid delay.

HBO has set a new premiere date for Jude Law and Naomie Harris’ interactive drama The Third Day.
The limited series will launch on Monday September 14. It was originally set to start airing on Monday May 11 but was pushed back due to the Coronavirus production shutdown.
Deadline understands that production on the show wrapped back in the winter but the show was not finished in post-production as Covid-19 hit and the extra time allowed the team time to finish.

The series will tell three, stand-alone but interconnected stories. Two of them will form part of the show’s six-episode run, while the third will take place in the UK as a live event.

Getting trapped on a secluded island paradise may not have sounded so bad a few weeks ago, but in a post epidemic-world, that mysterious premise may tap into some very relevant anxieties. At least, that’s as much as can be gleaned from the intriguing first trailer for “The Third Day,” a new HBO limited series starring Jude Law and Naomie Harris. The trailer features eerily upbeat music, some stunning aerial shots of a winding road submerged in water, and plenty of smoldering Law looks.
Here’s the official synopsis, according to HBO: “The show is divided into two parts: ‘Summer’ and ‘Winter.’ In ‘Summer,’ one man (Jude Law) visits a mysterious island off the British coast and discovers a group of inhabitants intent on preserving their home at any cost. In the second half, aka ‘Winter,’ a strong-willed outsider (Naomie Harris) comes to the island seeking answers — but instead...
