'A Series of Unfortunate Events' Final Season Will Only Have 7 Episodes

A Series of Unfortunate Events is getting just a handful of episodes when it comes to its’ final season.

The show — which recounts the tragic tale of the Baudelaire orphans and their extraordinary encounters with the devious Count Olaf who will stop at nothing to get his hands on their inheritance — will have 10 episodes in the upcoming season two, and only seven in the final, third season.

“It was always the plan to do [just] three seasons, which I really liked,” Neil Patrick Harris, who plays Count Olaf, told TVLine.

He adds, “It makes me feel like we’re doing a specific piece of art, as opposed to just hoping that the zeitgeist holds us up for as many seasons as people can stomach.”

Stay tuned for more scoop on season two, which premieres on Friday, March 30th!
