'My Brilliant Friend' Renewed For Season 3
HBO announced today that My Brilliant Friend has been picked up for a third season. The good news comes just days before the drama wraps its sophomore run, which once again garnered critical acclaim.
Adapted for television from Elena Ferrante's series of novels, the show follows Elena Greco, an elderly author who discovers that a lifelong friend of hers named Lila has disappeared.
