Absentia season 3, which premiered on July 17, 2020, sees Katic’s Emily serving out the final days of her FBI suspension while working hard to be the possible mother to Flynn. Following a sequence of deadly events, Emily must race against time to save ex-husband Special Agent Nick Durand (Patrick Heusinger), but in the process comes to realize there’s a larger conspiracy brewing.

In her social media posts, included below, Katic shared that she and the rest of the Absentia team toyed with the idea of a fourth season, but concluded that “ABSENTIA was always meant to be only 3 seasons, & I couldn’t think of a better note to end on… for any person on this planet, but especially Emily and her loved ones.”
