Lidia Poët Returns and Her Fight Continues
Anticipation had been high, and for good reason: the third season of Lidia’s Law is now streaming on Netflix, set to keep longtime fans glued to their screens. The determined lawyer Lidia Poët has returned, fighting on two fronts. She continues pushing for formal recognition of her status and her legal rights in a society reluctant to accept her. At the same time, she’s taking on legal cases that stir up public opinion, with six new episodes that keep viewers on edge from start to finish.
The World of Lidia's Law: 19th-Century Italy
After joining Netflix’s lineup in 2023, Lidia’s Law transported viewers to 19th-century Italy, following the story of Lidia Poët, played by Matilda De Angelis. Banned by her peers from officially joining the bar, Lidia works from her brother Enrico’s law office, fighting both for her clients and her own recognition. The storyline weaves together courtroom drama with romantic subplots, making for a recipe that has proven popular with audiences.
Season 3: New Episodes and Final Challenges
Following the release of Season 2 in October 2024, Netflix renewed the series for a third and final round of episodes. After several months, the last installment of Lidia Poët’s story premiered on April 15, 2026.
Set in 1887, across Turin and Rome, Season 3 sees Lidia’s professional challenges entangled with personal ties as she defends her close friend Grazia Fontana, who has been accused of her husband’s murder. True to her ongoing commitment to women’s rights, Lidia faces fierce public scrutiny in this high-stakes case. While juggling her professional battles, her relationship with Andrea Fourneau also moves forward, giving viewers more to root for beyond the courtroom.
An Italian Cast for the Final Bow
Staying true to its roots, the series features a cast led by Matilda De Angelis, with Pier Luigi Pasino reprising his role as Lidia’s brother, Enrico Poët. Enrico leaves for Rome with Jacopo Barberis, played by Eduardo Scarpetta, at the conclusion of season 2. Gianmarco Saurino continues as Andrea Fourneau, Lidia’s love interest. New this season is Liliana Bottone, who plays Grazia Fontana, the central figure in Lidia’s final legal battle.
Fans should savor this final season, as it marks the end of Lidia Poët’s journey on Netflix. A historic figure in Italy and beyond, Lidia takes her final bow in Season 3. Inspired by true events, the show focuses on her transformative years as Italy’s pioneering female attorney, rather than covering every chapter of her long life, which spanned an extraordinary 93 years.
