Fans of "The Musketeers" may be disappointed in learning that Season 3 is the last one in the series. However, the showrunners have promised that the series finale will be "extraordinary" and something that all fans will cherish.
Unlike certain shows that drag on and on, "The Musketeers" is ending after going what it set out to do from the beginning, which is to say the story of the legendary musketeers and their glory. "I think things do have a natural lifespan, and I think, you know, 30 hours in this particular climate is a huge amount of episodic TV to deliver," executive producer Jessica Pope tells Cult Box.
The series finale is a result of wanting to maintain the quality of the show and not repeating storylines, assures Pope: "...we wanted to just prove to ourselves we'd done all the biggest stories we could do without then sort of filtering out into something that just repeated itself, really."
