Prime Video, Cricket Australia, and Whooshka Media have announced the Australian Original docuseries The Test will return for its third season.
The Test Season Three will pull back the curtain on the Australian men’s cricket team, giving viewers behind-the-scenes access and never-before-seen footage of the 2023 Ashes series. This season also covers the 2023 ICC World Test Championship Final, which the Australian team won.
The Test Season Three follows the Australian men’s cricket team as they tour England and face off against cricket’s two superpowers: India, with a lineup featuring Virat Kohli; and England, who have redefined their game under Ben Stokes with their “BazBall” style of play.
Players such as Captain Pat Cummins, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, and Alex Carey reflect on navigating the challenges of excelling at the highest level of cricket while juggling their roles as fathers, sons, and husbands.
“As a cricket fan, I couldn’t wait to see what happened when the unstoppable force of ‘BazBall’ batting came up against the best test bowling lineup in the world. The 2023 Ashes were the most closely contested and memorable of recent times, and I am delighted to be able to relive them along with our customers in Australia and around the world,” said Hushidar Kharas, head of Prime Video Australia and New Zealand.
“Prime Video is proud to have a long-standing relationship with Cricket Australia following the huge success of Seasons One and Two, and I cannot wait to see how directors Adrian Brown and Sheldon Wynne recount these iconic moments for the Australian cricket team.”
Richard Ostroff, head of broadcasting and production at Cricket Australia said “The third season of The Test captures the gripping tussle between Australia and India at the World Test Championship Final, and the extraordinary behind-the-scenes drama of the 2023 Ashes in England.
“Cricket fans in Australia and across the world will ride all the emotions and tight contests, as our players battle it out on the biggest stages of all. This series will be the best yet.”
The Test Season Three is produced by Amazon MGM Studios in collaboration with Cricket Australia and Whooshka Media. The executive producers are Mish Armstrong, Adrian Brown, and Richard Ostroff. The co-directors are Sheldon Wynne and Brown.
