Will there be a season four of The Sinner?

In a word: yes! Earlier this month, USA Network renewed the show for a fourth series – meaning fans will get another chance to see Ambrose and more in another undoubtedly gripping set of circumstances. A statement on the renewal read: "The Sinner has struck a chord with audiences with its signature 'whydunnit' style. In Season 4, we're excited to dig even deeper into the psyche of Bill Pullman's beloved Detective Ambrose character, while introducing our audience to a compelling, completely new mystery."

While many fans will be pleased to hear that the show will return, it's not yet confirmed when we're likely to see season four; and with restrictions in the film and TV industry due to the coronavirus pandemic, it's unlikely the show will return anytime soon. We'll just have to be patient!

While each season boats plenty of new names, detective Harry Ambrose is a constant throughout – it's this format that keeps fan gripped. In season one, Jessica Biel also starred as Cora Tannetti, a woman who – much to her own surprise – stabs a man to death on a beach. Season two sees Ambrose investigate a double homicide, while season three's focus is on the car crash involving two college friends.

Many familiar faces have appeared in the Netflix drama. As well as Bill Pullman, who also starred in Sleepless in Seattle, Independence Day and more, Matt Bomer stars as Jamie Burns, one of the two men involved in the car accident, in the third instalment.
