The final installment will be divided into two six-episode parts with the second half set to premiere later this year.

With our characters demoralized and dejected, the task of reigniting belief in a better world rests with the person Morgan and Madison set out to rescue in the first place — Morgan’s daughter, Mo.”
The final season stars Lennie James as Morgan, Kim Dickens as Madison, Colman Domingo as Victor Strand, Danay Garcia as Luciana Galvez, Austin Amelio as Dwight, Christine Evangelista as Sherry, Karen David as Grace Mukherjee, Jenna Elfman as June, and Rubén Blades as Daniel Salazar.
