What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the SundanceTV cable channel, The A Word stars Max Vento, Lee Ingleby, Morven Christie, Vinette Robinson, Greg McHugh, Adam Wittek, Tommie Grabiec, Molly Wright, Pooky Quesnel, and Christopher Eccleston. When five-year-old Joe Hughes (Vento) is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, feelings bubble to the surface which only serve to highlight the tensions between his family members. Now they must connect with one another, even as they learn to give Joe what he needs.
The A Word has been renewed for a third season which will debut November 4, 2020. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
We don’t track ratings for Sundance TV shows, so it is hard to predict whether they will cancel or renew The A Word for season three. On top of that, this dysfunctional family drama is a BBC One series, so the BBC has to commission a third series (i.e. season), in order for SundanceTV to consider renewal. My gut says if the BBC renews it, Sundance will, too. Because that’s just a guess though, I’ll keep an eye on the trades and update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Are you glad that The A Word TV show has been renewed for a third season? How would you feel if this show had been cancelled instead?
It’s NO understatement when I say, “I NEED The A Word to continue”! This show is amazing..the cast is amazing…Joe, and the community that surrounds him, is amazing! If you’re heart strings aren’t tugged at, by this show,there’s something amiss.
Chris Eccleston posted a photo of himself clean shaven for s3 filming on his Instagram. I am excited but confused, as I felt the way s2 ended meant the show was also ended. Can’t wait to personally ask him a question in a few weeks at a US comic con, 14 September.
The A Word has recently been filming at a bar in Manchester. I work nearby and we got a letter to say that they will be filming for series 3!
Please renew this show
The A Word has been renewed, it started filming in the Lake District. Just no word on what the release date is yet!
