Kamen Rider X3

*For the series' main character, see Colt Roberts.*
***Kamen Rider X3*** is an American adaptation of the Japanese tokusatsu series *Kamen Rider OOO*, the twenty-first installment of the Kamen Rider Series.

The series' catchphrases are "Count Them All".

The average ratings of the series was 6.2%.

## Production

Development for the show had begun during the spring of 2019. On Feburary 10, 2019, 6U Studios filed and confirmed the trademark for Kamen Rider X3.

From this time until May, INTV held auditions for the cast. After the end of Kamen Rider Duo, writer Rachel Ness was made head writer for Kamen Rider with X3 being the first season where she is the head writer from beginning to end. Filming began in mid-October 2019, and the cast was introduced through the INTV World Press Event in February 2020. The series premiered on August 7, 2020.

### Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, filming schedules were altered.

This resulting in a reduced episode count of 42 from the originally planned 50, the production team had to make script changes from Episode 21 onwards.

* X3's Super Combo arc was shortened from 11 episodes to only 3.
* Filming was postponed from March 2020 to July 2020. Before the pandemic, only 20 episodes had been completed.
* The introduction of another rider, Kamen Rider H2O, was scrapped. The rider was rumored to be introduced between episodes 27 and 30. The rider was rumored to also be made for Kevin Sherman, who would eventually become Proto-Colossus.

INTV and 6U Studios announced that all of their shows would resume filming with newly placed guidelines during filming to control any further spreading of the virus. X3 was one of the shows that didn't go on hiatus. The series wrapped up filming on December 6, 2020 and the finale aired on May 28, 2021.
