Cast Returning for Season 3

Unlike last year, when one of the stars, Steve Carell, left after Season 1 culminated with his character Nick's death and its aftermath, the main Season 2 cast, Fey, Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Marco Calvani, Erika Henningsen and Colman Doming, are set to return for Season 3. Henningsen, who was largely absent from the last three episodes of Season 2 as her character Ginny branched out on her own as she is raising Nick's child away from the group, will be back as a series regular. The Season 2 finale announced the arrival of another potential high-profile cast member. In a surprise cameo, David Tennant appeared in the finale cliffhanger as Gianpiero, a neighbour and potential love interest for Nick's widow Anne (Kenney-Silver).

"It's been a joy watching the chaotic, beautiful journey of these lifelong friends," said Tracey Pakosta, Netflix VP of US Comedy. She added, "Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield have a magical way of blending heart and sharp humour, making us feel like part of the inner circle. Audiences have fallen in love with these characters and this legendary cast's electric chemistry. We're thrilled to keep the vacation going for Season 3."
