The Hardy Boys season 3 plot, trailer, episodes, and other details
The third season of The Hardy Boys will be picking up from season 2's major cliffhanger which ended with Frank Hardy (Rohan Campbell) being possessed by the spirit of his evil great-grandfather, George Estabrook, due to a mysterious crystal relic that contains souls.
Initially, it appeared that Frank was saved from becoming a vessel for another evil when his friends stopped Mr. Munder (Jake Epstein) from carrying out a swap involving his own brother. However, he later reveals to his grandmother Gloria (Linda Thorson) that his body now contained the soul of the latter's father.
An official trailer for the upcoming season 3 was released on July 12, teasing a rather dramatic, emotional, and adventured-filled finale. In this season, Frank and Joe Hardy receive specific instructions from their grandmother who send them on a hunt for another powerful relic.
But there are others who are looking for the same mystical object.
With more mysteries and danger heading their way, the Hardy boys and their friends will uncover more secrets, expose truths, and deal with forces beyond their imaginations. The characters are anticipated to follow the map that will lead them to the relic before it falls into the wrong hands.
According to Collider, the official synopsis for season 3 states:
"The Hardy boys and their friends dig up even more secrets, conspiracies and threats as they piece together their great-grandfather’s long-lost map and race against time to uncover a powerful ancient relic before it falls into the wrong hands."
