When Hearth Nation Season 3 ended on the 2025 TV schedule, we had been left on some huge cliffhangers because of developments each on and off display screen. Together with Vince, Sharon and Walter being caught in a burning retirement residence, it was additionally revealed that Billy Burke (who performs Vince) and Stephanie Arcila (who performs Gabriela) could be leaving the present. That satisfied me that Vince would die within the hearth. Nevertheless, now Max Thieriot and Diane Farr have commented on what’s to return, and I’m not so positive anymore.
Arguably, the most important questions popping out of Season 3 of Hearth Nation are: Who will survive the retirement residence hearth? And how will Gabriela get written out, as a result of we all know there’s potential for her to return? The reply to each these questions is principally “I don’t know,” because the present’s co-creator and lead actor, Max Thieriot, instructed TV Insider:
It’s not a false alarm. There might be some items that must be picked up. We’re motivated to proceed pushing the present, pushing the envelope, and making an attempt to kind of permit this world to evolve and give you new methods to shock the viewers and to deliver the viewers compelling characters and storytelling. So far as what will occur particularly at this level, I don’t know. We’re simply opening the writers’ room, so we haven’t gotten that far. I do know that everyone’s actually centered on discovering out.
When Hearth Nation’s Season 3 finale ended, we admittedly weren’t given any clues about who survives and/or dies. Nevertheless, we do know that Vince, Sharon and Walter are caught. We additionally know that Billy Burke’s exit has been reported. So, I used to be positive his character, Vince, could be the one to die come Season 4.
Nevertheless, now I’m not so positive. That uncertainty turned much more distinguished when Diane Farr commented on the entire state of affairs. Her character, Sharon, can be caught within the hearth, and may very well be on the outs too. Farr made that a lot clear when she defined how a lot she doesn’t find out about what’s coming down the road for her and her character’s household:
I used to be really nervous. I used to be nervous for all of us as a forged and a present, and I’ve zero extra solutions since that nervousness set in, so I’m excited to see what they do. Perhaps there’s 3 times in your profession the place we really don’t know what’s going to occur to your character. That is positively one.
Whereas Billy Burke’s exit was reported, showrunner Tia Napolitano wouldn’t “verify who we’re dropping,” throughout an interview with Deadline. She additionally defined that “not one of the actors know” who could be leaving whereas they filmed the finale. Farr’s feedback verify that notion, and reaffirm that I shouldn’t be leaping to conclusions.
I had assumed, primarily based on Burke’s reported departure, that Vince could be the one to go, particularly since it will open doorways storywise in a dramatic and fascinating means for fairly a couple of characters, particularly Jake, who needed a promotion.
Nevertheless, now I’m unsure. Thieriot and Farr’s feedback lead me to imagine that nothing is about in stone but. Due to this fact, my assumptions shouldn’t be both. So, we’ll simply have to hold on tight, watch Seasons 1 by 3 with a Paramount+ subscription, and brace for impression when Hearth Nation returns this fall, as a result of whereas I don’t know who dies, I do know that no matter occurs will trigger main change.
