Netflix shared the trailer for Explained season 3, which is the new season of one of the most interesting shows on the platform.

We all know Netflix’s library is pretty varied. That’s because it has every kind of content from action-packed Netflix Originals to old movies or interesting documentaries. This one is among those documentaries.

Explained is a documentary series that focuses on different topics with each episode. Currently, there are two seasons of it on Netflix. The third season is on the way. Netflix shared its trailer, which shows us the premise of the next season. It seems they will give us a new set of interesting installments. Let’s check out what awaits us with Explained season 3.

Here’s what Netflix says about the new season of its documentary:

“From monarchies to mea culpas, pooches to plastic surgery, explore a wide range of fascinating topics in this celebrity-narrated docuseries.”

Unfortunately, the official trailer has a lot to say about the new season in terms of content. Let’s break it out into pieces to see what it shows us, shall we?

The trailer starts with some questions from the narrators. Each question accounts for one episode, presumably. “Is plastic surgery changing the way we see ourselves?” asks one, while another question is “How can a piece of cloth both unify and divide us?”, inquiring into flags. After that, we see some other questions about chess and dogs, and the intro ends.

We see the narrating cast after the intro, followed by a brief introduction of an episode about sugar. Then comes plastic surgery and royalty. After that, the trailer introduces us to the episodes about dogs and the end of oil.

The trailer ends with a part that presumably shows us the topics of each episode, which you can check out below.

  • Hurricanes
  • Fairy tales
  • Country music
  • Dance crazes
  • The end of oil
  • Time
  • Skin
  • Apologies
  • Dogs
  • Chess
  • Royalty
  • Sugar
  • Flags
