The New Legends of Monkey Season 3: Release Date, Plot, Storyline, Trailer and Everything you need to know!

The one thing that the entire lockdown period has taught us is to depend on external factors of entertainment to stay sane. The only thing that we can do in these trying times is read books, play games or watch fantastic tv series. One of the most memorable shows that have garnered a lot of attention in the past few years is The New Legends of Monkey. The show is originally an Australian New Zealand TV series which is inspired by Monkey, a Japanese production. The series is available to stream on Netflix.

The Japanese production called Saiyuki gets based on the 16th-century Chinese novel named Journey to the West. The first season released initially on ABC Me Tv channel in 2018 and the second season released in 2020. Gerard Johnstone directs the show. The first season released on Netflix and after that, the production started streaming there only. We are hearing certain rumours about the show getting renewed for a third season.

Release Date: The New Legends of Monkey Season 3

With the world plunging into an emergency wit the COVID pandemic, all productions got halted. Most Tv shows and movies got stopped midway, as the chances of getting infected with the virus were very high. However, New Zealand has come out of it victorious, so we assume the productions will resume anytime soon.

Even though the production got halted and the shooting had to get stopped midway, we cannot expect to see The New Legends of Monkey Season 3 anytime soon. Netflix, as of yet has not made an announcement, however, and we are eagerly waiting for some spice topic. As far as we can assume the season 3 can drop in 2021 end or 2022 start. We cannot expect them to finish their pre and post-production before that.

The show released first in the year 2018 and then the second season released in 2020, just a few days back. So believing the pattern, we can’t expect to see season 3 before 2022. The show makers will officially announce if they come to know anything. Guess we’ll have to wait!

Storyline: The New Legends of Monkey

The story revolves around The Monkey King Sun Wukong, who got held captive under a mountain by his enemies in Heaven. The episodes showed later on that Earth is now ruled by demons, and humans are their prisoners. Even the gods cannot help as they are being opposed by demons too. A scholar comes to the rescue and hatches a secret plan to bring out the Monkey King and find the heavenly scrolls that will help them gain unlimited power. But a problem occurs them when they begin to start their quest. A demon attack and a murder take place where the scholar gets killed. The scholar’s daughter then takes on the identity of Tripitaka and starts her adventures.

The monkey king, later on, gets freed with the help of Tripitaka and the duo team up with Pigsy and Sandy. Then they later venture out to a long journey full of shocks and surprises, to get rid of all demons form the planet.

Plot: The New Legends of Monkey Season 3

When the evil queen Hakuru gets resurrected in the previous season, we can predict that something new will happen in the next season. There will be lots of realistic fights taking place between the King group and the Quen group. Hopefully, we will get to know some more facts about the Monkey King. The group receives expected to collect more scrolls, and then restore peace on Earth. The direction is as unique as it can be, and they will keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. Hopefully, the next season will not disappoint them too.
