The CW didn't keep fans of In the Dark in the dark when it came to announcing the show's third season, and the fourth season renewal came hot on its heels — even before season 3 premiered. As Deadline reports, the show was one of the early renewals that the network announced in January 2020, and it appears that CW president Mark Pedowitz considers In the Dark a pretty important piece of the puzzle. "These early orders for next season give our production teams a head start in plotting out story arcs and a jump on hiring staff, and this also provides us with a strong foundation of established, fan-favorite CW shows to build on for next season," he stated upon renewal.
While the exact premiere date is still very much in the air, it's worth noting that season 1 of In the Dark arrived in April 2019, and season 2 in April 2020. With that in mind, you could potentially expect the third season at some point of April 2021. Of course, with the realities of television production very much still up in the air for the foreseeable future, we'll just have to wait for an announcement.
