Season 2 of Lucha Underground just ended with Ultima Lucha Dos. A week later, and we now know the start date of Season 3.
But first, a look back at where we ended up.
Prince Puma and Rey Mysterio Jr had a match for the ages.
The Queen of Lucha, Sexy Star, won the Gift of the Gods Championship by besting six other wrestlers, including her former kidnappers, a brother and sister team who have an unhealthy obsession with butterflies.
Dario Cueto, a Spanish millionaire with a violence fetish, and the boss of this promotion, was arrested for murdering a wrestler in his employ, who was wearing a wire and working as an informant for two undercover cops that are also wrestlers.
But before that, Dario's brother, Splatterhouse-movie-villain Matanza Cueto retained the LU Championship by outlasting pissed-off ninja skeleton Pentagon Jr, who responded by drinking the blood of his dark master Vampiro and declaring that he was now the master. Does drinking the blood of a vampire make you a vampire? No one can say for sure.
But we might get an answer a lot sooner that we thought.
That's right, believers, Lucha Underground Season 3 premieres in 41 days.
That is so soon.
And there are going to be 40 episodes.
FORTY.
For reference, Season 2 only had 26 episodes.
Season 3 begins on September 7 and it ends in JUNE.
We're going to get Lucha Underground through the entire winter.
Dare we hope for a Christmas episode?
Here at Fightful, we're going to be counting down the minutes until September 7 at 8/7c.
You can get all caught up on Season 2 here, or on both seasons, as all of the episodes are on iTunes.
Until September 7, believers. I'll see you in the temple.
