We're finally spilling the tea...Lemonade-style. The acclaimed series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt returns with a third season on Netflix around the world on Friday, May 19! To celebrate the series' return, and in honor of Beyonce's big Grammys performance, today we're releasing this video date announce that includes Season 3 footage of Titus Andromedon's own hilarious homage to Queen Bey herself. The acclaimed series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt stars the Emmy-nominated Ellie Kemper (Kimmy Schmidt), Tituss Burgess (Titus Andromedon), and Jane Krakowski (Jacqueline White) as well as Emmy Award winner Carol Kane (Lillian Kaushtupper). The series was created by Tina Fey (30 Rock) and Robert Carlock (30 Rock), who serve as executive producers with Jeff Richmond (30 Rock) and David Miner (30 Rock, Brooklyn Nine-Nine). Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a production of Universal Television, Little Stranger Inc., 3 Arts Entertainment and Bevel Gears for Netflix.

I watched episodes 1-6 last night. I'm liking it so far. But, I'll still don't like David Cross' character.

Finished it up today and really liked all the episodes. The only thing I didn't care for was new Russ. I thought all the humor with him fell flat.

The allure of this one is really gone at this point. Most of this season was "meh" funny not "pinot noooiiiiirrrrrr" funny.

Meh, if Netflix is so keen on disrupting the rules of Television, why are they still sticking to one season a year.

(Not a serious question but with bingable seasons it does seem like a long, long time between episodes.)

The Ranch split its 20 episode season up. The Get Down split its up as well. Fuller House did two seasons in 2016.

I knew about the first two, didn't about Fuller House. That's cool.

Halfway through the season. LOVED the first two, but this one I'm just not digging so much. Just doesn't seem as funny, and they don't seem to know what to do with Kimmy's character. She's not driving the show anymore. The idea of putting Kimmy in college seemed like a great idea, but they haven't really done anything with that. Actually, I can't even tell if she's still going or not.

So much stuff on Netflix to watch now that I've overloaded and have barely watched any. Want to watch this, OITNB, Flaked, and House of Cards, and those are just the one's that I remember off the top of my head. I have watched two episodes of this, but it didn't grab me yet like other seasons.

2/3rds through the third season. How is it that Tidus has more screentime than her now?

Some good stuff this season, but the "Lemonade" episode was the worst thing this show has ever done.

I never watched the Beyonce video. But I thought the actual bit was hilarious. The timing of the explosion at the end made me lol.

Was Tidus' off lip sync intentional? I watched it twice and didn't catch any references. But there's so much going on it's hard to keep up.

This got better as it got near the end of the season, I feel like they just now figured out they could seriously insult advertisers with no repercussion.

"We're helping cloth poor people!"
"Isn't that what Old Navy is for?"

"She's like Dominos pizza, hot but terrible."

Plus the Multiplicity explanation of the Manning brothers was spot on.

Wrapped this one up. It's still funny. But some of the episodes just run too long. 30+ minutes is too much for this type of show. Still, gladly be back for season 4.

Just finished this. It was far and away better than season 2. Still wasn't as good as the first season though. They scaled Jacqueline's screen time way back which is good. Her character doesn't really work on her own. She needs Kimmy or Titus with her.
