"Reign" season 2 had a lot that went on, most of which dark and malevolent. Fans of the hit series will be happy to know that season 3 will be lighter or, at least, not as dark as the past season. Executive producer Laurie McCarthy revealed that making things darker made her miss things. 

"I miss the fun," the EP told Seat42F. "I miss the gaming and scheming at Court without such heavy consequences. I think we'll get back to that next season. It's not going to be as dark." 

Fans who are worried about Leith and Greer ever coming back into each other's arms may grow more concerned come season 3. McCarthy dished what viewers can expect about this and the possibility of someone else coming into the picture. 

"I think there is a dynamic that is bubbling up with Claude and Leith. They started out with a real brother-sister kind of vibe, but I think we'll see that shift," McCarthy revealed, saying beforehand that the show would be "shifting" and would become "different." 

"Reign" season 2 ended with Catherine banished from France, leading her to forge an alliance with an enemy — Queen Elizabeth. Season 3 of the series will be delving into that further as the two royals work together to bring Mary down. While Catherine struggles with this, she may also find comfort or more dismay in Narcisse. Megan Follows, who plays the character, revealed to Seat42f that she may have fallen in love with him for his goodness. 

"Reign" season 3 will premiere in fall. Here is the synopsis for the season:

"Reign" begins its third season with Mary and Francis realizing that they are more powerful together than apart, believing there is hope for them to move forward, leaving behind the anger and hurt. It also introduces us to another Court, that of Elizabeth, "Virgin" Queen of England. Still early in her reign, Elizabeth faces opposition on all sides, particularly from men who doubt a woman's ability to rule. Like Mary and Catherine de Medici, she struggles to hold on to power and love. The women have much in common, and Mary and Elizabeth are reluctant foes, but foes nonetheless, each positioned by birth and fate to destroy all the other holds dear."
