Sky Atlantic’s crime thriller, Riviera,has been renewed for a third season. 

The forthcoming season consists of eight-parts and will see the return of Stiles as Georgina Clios. The 38-year-old actress will also serve as executive producer.

The series’ third run will go global, venturing beyond France’s Cote d’Azur. 

“The new series will see Julia Stiles take the glitz and glamour of the Cote d’Azur around the globe as her character Georgina Clios tries to escape the devastation the Riviera has wrought on her,” Sky said when announcing the new season.

“We are so proud of this Sky original series. We set out to make the most glamorous show in the world and now we are taking that glamour to a host of new locations which will provide even more intrigue, danger, and beauty,” added Zai Bennett, the director of programming.

“You’d think that there was nothing left for the Riviera to throw at Georgina but series three is our most ambitious yet,” said Stiles.

Filming is schedules to begin this autumn.
