Fans of the whip-smart Australian comedy-drama “Frayed” were left with a cliffhanger ending in season two, and many eagerly awaited news of a third season. However, creator and star Sarah Kendall confirmed in 2023 that the show wouldn’t be returning.
Despite the confirmation that the show has come to an end after its two successful seasons, it hasn’t prevented the audience from being hopeful that things would change out of the blue and that the show will be renewed in the future.
If you are in a similar boat wondering about Frayed Season 3, we will take you through all the details we know so far.

When is Frayed Season 3 Releasing?
As we discussed in the beginning, the show’s creator Sarah Kendall, who also happens to be starring in it, confirmed that the show has been canceled after its two-season run.
According to the sources, it was the network that decided to not renew the show for a new season, leaving the fans with a heartbreak. The first two seasons of the show were an absolute success, garnering millions of views. Despite that, it was benched instead of being renewed for a new season.
Most of the fans suspect that the lack of financial accommodation was the fact that led to the cancellation of the show but there seems to be no confirmation as to why the show was canceled by the network. The lack of response is what has made the fans even more desolate.
What can we expect from Frayed Season 3?
While details are scarce, Kendall did hint at her plans for a potential season. The narrative might have taken a five-year leap forward. Remember that dramatic Season 2 finale? We could have seen Dan (Matt Passmore) surprisingly surviving the incident, albeit with a scar (both physical and emotional). Sammy, however, might not have been as fortunate.
Facing murder charges, she could have ended up serving time. Season 3 could have picked up with Sammy’s release from prison, with her ever-reliable brother Jim (Ben Mingay) by her side. Navigating life post-incarceration, Sammy might have grappled with societal judgment, a strained relationship with her children, and the lingering ghosts of the past.
Would she have reunited with Dan? Would she have found a way to reconnect with her family and rebuild her life in Newcastle? These are questions that will forever remain unanswered. The cancellation of the show has indeed left the fans wondering about how things could have progressed with the show but it looks like we will never get an answer to those.
In the meantime, all you can do is go back and rewatch the first two seasons and try to make do with what’s available.
Who will return on Frayed Season 3?
Frayed Season 3 isn’t happening, as per the official sources. So, with the show not likely amounting to anything in the future, there’s no point making a list of the cast that could return. If it were to return, the following cast could have returned:
- Sarah Kendall
- Kerry Armstrong
- Ben Mingay
- George Houvardas
- Doris Younane
