However, if Sara Linton is introduced in the third season, it will follow the 2009 novel Undone. Additionally, the new season will also follow the incidents of the second season’s conclusion. Ramón Rodríguez, in an interview with Timeline, explained the conclusion that read,
In [episode] eight, we get to see the culmination of this childhood trauma that Will has blocked from his memory. [It] gets put together — what that meant and signified — and it’s intense. And we do get a reprieve, we do get a moment to sort of come up for air, but very quickly [we] get pulled down underwater again with an intense twist and turn. I don’t know how much I can talk about it, but I will say it’s an intense ending [to the season] that I don’t think people will see coming, and it’s a case that pays off in a really tough way.
