Wright spoke at a press junket for the show’s second season, which debuts Feb. 14. Whether the show would go beyond two seasons has been an open question since its debut last year. It helped immediately establish Netflix as a force to be reckoned with in producing original content, earning a slew of awards nominations.

A Netflix spokeswoman confirmed the third season soon after Wright broke the news.

Asked about where she sees the characters on the show going, Wright said she could see the show going for several more seasons.

“We’re only on the second season so far. When you think about all the other shows that have gone on five, six, eight seasons. We’re amateurs in a sense. We’re Bambis in the woods,” she joked.
