With Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events set to premiere its second season next month, star Neil Patrick Harris has confirmed that the show will dish out three seasons and then call it a day.

As Harris explained to TV Guide, “We’re three seasons all in. We’ve intentionally been very truthful and factual and loyal to the books. We’ve added a few characters that aren’t in the books, we’ve added some songs that you probably couldn’t put into the books, but for the most part we’re sticking to the structure of what already worked.”

Fans have been speculating that the show could be capped at three seasons given how said Season 3 has already been confirmed to focus on the final books in the Lemony Snicket series.

If you’ve yet to check out this darkly comedic Netflix effort or aren’t familiar with the best-selling books from Lemony Snicket – aka Daniel Handler – the official word on this TV series reads:

Starring Emmy and Tony Award-winner Neil Patrick Harris, A Series of Unfortunate Events recounts the tragic tale of the Baudelaire orphans – Violent, Klaus, and Sunny – and their extraordinary encounters with the devious Count Olaf who will stop at nothing to get his hands on their inheritance. Foiling his many dastardly pans and disguises, the young siblings discover clues to their parents’ mysterious death, links to a covert organisation, and begin to unlock long-held family secrets.

In addition to Harris, the likes of Malina Weissman, Louis Hynes, Patrick Warburton and Presley Smith starred in the first season, and Season 2’s impressive new additions include Nathan Fillion, Lucy Punch, Roger Bart, and Tony Hale.

As mentioned, the second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events premieres on Netflix on March 30th.
