Anticipated Plot For After Life Season 3
Before we start talking about the plot of After Life Season 3, let’s have a quick recap of the previous season. Season 2 ended with the death of Tony’s father who was suffering from dementia. Filling Tony with more grief than he already had from his dearest wife’s death. In the last scene, Tony asks his peer to leave him alone, which led Tony to have more suicidal thoughts and most importantly his went on and attempted to kill himself. Lucky for him, that he failed due to the intervention of Emma.
So, it’s highly anticipated that After Life Season 3 will begin with how Emma coups herself up into Tony’s daily life as a start of an expected relationship. This season, Tony may find a way out of his existential crisis and his nihilistic mentality. Also, what kind of decisions he makes in the life where he has Emma and just his father.
