Mr. Mercedes may have a fourth season after all. The series, which is based on a trilogy of works by Stephen King, has been picked up by Peacock. Seasons one and two will arrive on the streaming service next month while season three will arrive at a later date.
The three seasons of the dramatic series initially aired on AT&T Audience Network. The series has been in limbo since Audience ceased operations in the spring. While Peacock has not renewed Mr. Mercedes for a fourth season, it’s favorable that the streaming service has picked up the existing seasons.

Please be a season 4.Love this show.
Please let there be a season 4! Huge Stephen King fan and this was a great adaptation of the trilogy. Characters are terrific and acting superb!
Never been much of a Stephen King fan, but Mr. Mercedes is an exception. Really like the series. Hoping for season 4.
We need a season 4. Great show!!
My husband & I binge watched all 3 seasons. Great actors, memorizing stories. Can’t wait until Season 4.
The series already adapted all three novels (although they switched the second/third books/seasons). I don’t know where they’d go from there.
My Husband and I just finished seasons 1 through 3 of Mr. Mercedes. Excellent series can’t wait to see the next season to come.
I have just completed season three in one and a half nights I need to have a season 4 . He story is fantastic,actors portray the characters so well.
I am so addicted to Mr. Mercedes! I have been a King fan since day one and this show is extraordinary in plot and cast. Unbelievably intense, even funny at times! Please tell me a season 4 is coming…..love it.
We are addicted to Mr. Mercedes! So intense and well done. Cast is terrific. Please, please let there be a season 4!! Thanks!!
Love Mr. Mercedes and the cast. This definitely needs to be renewed. Most programs are junk, this is not one that should be cancelled.
A fourth season of Mr. Mercedes would be terrific.
Mr. Mercedes is in fact a great series coming from the mind of Stephen king.
I hope that they make the right decision to continue the series. No writer does it better than Stephen king.
Excellent looking forward to season 4
great series. yep, i’d like season 4. Tough to keep up the quality of imaginative thought though.
