In 2019-2020, the legal drama series All Rise aired on CBS on Monday nights.
The show was popular, but didn’t get the best ratings. This led to CBS canceling it after just two seasons.
However, the groundswell around it was big and the show ended up saved when the creative team shopped it around.
In September 2021, OWN chose to pick up the legal drama and bring it back to life with a new third season.
Here is everything we know so far about All Rise Season 3.
This article provides everything that is known about All Rise Season 3 and all related news. As such, this article will be updated over time with news, rumors, and analysis. Meanwhile, let’s dig down into what is known so far.
Is there going to be a Season 3 of All Rise?
For a long time, it seemed that All Rise was finished.
In May 2021, Deadline reported that CBS has chosen to cancel All Rise and end its run with just two seasons.
This came after some behind-the-scenes drama, including creator, executive producer, and co-showrunner, Greg Spottiswood leaving the series.
CBS fired him after allegations of unprofessional conduct arose.
“Warner Bros. Television has relieved All Rise executive producer Greg Spottiswood of his duties, effective immediately,” the studio said in a statement to Deadline.
“Executive producer Dee Harris-Lawrence will continue to serve as showrunner of the series, working closely with fellow executive producers Michael M. Robin and Len Goldstein. We remain committed, at all times, to providing a safe and inclusive working environment on our productions and for all employees.”
That marked the end of the series.
However, in August, Deadline reported that OWN wanted to pick up the show.
Dee Harris-Lawrence, who took over showrunner duties in season two, wanted to carry on in that role. That is exactly what will happen.

Series star Simone Missick will return to her role as Judge Lola Carmichael. She is an idealistic former prosecutor and newly appointed Judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

“I look forward to digging deeper, to mining the complicated relationships that we all have with the criminal justice system and furthering these conversations onscreen and off with our loyal ‘Risers.'”
” And I am excited to bring our All Rise family to fans who have yet to discover our show. I am thankful for all of the work that was done behind the scenes by Warner Bros., Hulu and HBO Max to bring us to this new space. There is truly no place like OWN.”
