Serial, the blockbuster podcast whose first season inspired a million thinkpieces, has announced the premiere dates for its second and third seasons, so get ready for more opinions. Variety reports Sarah Koenig will be returning as host, and revealed the new seasons will be “very different…but no less interesting” than the first season, which famously investigated the murder of Hae Min Lee.

“We are hard at work reporting not one, but two distinct new stories. This means we’re planning on a third season of ‘Serial,’” Koenig wrote. “And we hope it means we can reduce the amount of time between the end of Season Two and the beginning of Season Three. As it stands, we intend to launch Season Two this fall and Season Three next spring.”

Two more seasons of Serial means two more seasons of people telling you to listen to Serial, two more seasons of your coworkers blabbing about Serial before you’ve had a chance to listen to the newest episode, two more seasons of threatening to stop listening to Serial but listening to it anyway, and two more seasons of reading 3,000-word articles about why Serial is problematic. Congrats, Serial fans! Sounds like you’re in for a world of fun.
