Ben Stiller’s update on season 3

Speaking on the New Heights podcast, Stiller, who also directed several episodes of the show, provided an update on the next season. "No, the plan is not to [wait three years]," he confirmed. "Hopefully, we'll be announcing what the plan is very soon."

He explained the reason for the delay, saying, "It took us a little bit to regroup, and the show—we shot for 186 days on Season 2. Editing takes a while, but thank goodness the audience was there when we came back on."
