Legendary (Season 3)

**Legendary** is a ballroom reality competition show that premieres on the subscription-based streaming service HBO Max.

The **third season** of *Legendary* premiered in the United States on May 19, 2022, on HBO Max. Ten ballroom houses were selected to compete in the running of becoming "Legendary" and earning a cash prize of $100,000.

On July 2021, HBO Max renewed the series for this season, which had its premiere date announced on April 17, 2021.

On April 27, 2022, 10 Houses were revealed on the instagram page of the show as the competitors of the season. Season 3 is the second season to hold 10 Houses in the competition, with 2 of them being Kiki Houses.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions, the premiere of the season had to be divided in two episodes. As there were 10 houses, they were divided in 2 groups in order for them to showcase the Grand March category. These restrictions also challenged the houses to face elimination for the first time in the premieres of Legendary, as the first season did not have eliminations in its premiere episode.

The system of critiques and scoring this season remains the same from the second season.
