Cult of Squid (season 3)

This is the third season of Cult of Squid, premiering April 6th, 2019, and ending December 8th of the same year. The season is the 2nd longest of the show's history, lasting 8 months, beating out season 1's 7-month record, but losing to season 6, which lasted over a year.
This was the last season of the show to have Locknloaded23 as the main showrunner; Purple133 was given the role after the conclusion of the season, with Lock stepping down and instead staying as a writer.
== Synopsis ==
The end is near for the Cult as the Feathered Friends seek to expand their army of few.
== Production ==
On Feb 9th, 2019, it was announced the spin-off will be getting a 3rd season. It was also announced something big will happen at the end of s2, carrying all the way through season 3, which was Brother Squidward's temporary removal from the show In the season 2 special Neptune Trials.
The creator of the series, Locknloaded23, announced that she would be stepping down from exec and would hand the role to Purple133 after season 3 was completed, though she ended up giving Purple the rights earlier than expected after A Thousand Souls aired. TheJasbre202 wrote some stories for this season in the episodes Retired No More and Zomped. The season then got pushed down from 10 episodes to 8 after an episode called "The Initiated" was scrapped completely.
On September 7th, 2019, it was announced that the show's third season would be finished by November 2019. That didn't happen, and instead the season ended on December 8th, 2019.

== Trivia ==
* While this season was still being produced, Lock and Purple were working on a separate spinoff, titled Mighty High Seas, which was supposed to be released in 2019. However, production of this season got in the way of writing the episode's pilot, meaning it was halfway complete, so the spinoff was put on the backburner for over 2 years and was eventually forgotten. The show's unfinished pilot, Missing Supplies, was later released to the public on June 26th of 2021, and the rights to the show itself were handed off.
