"In the 3rd-season opener, it is April 2013, and the aftermath of the Genoa disaster means the News Night team treats a breaking story cautiously - a strategy that could benefit the show in the long run, or ruin the trust of their remaining viewers," reads The Newsroom Season 3, Episode 1 synopsis on TV.com.
Will and Mac get engaged in The Newsroom Season 2 finale, and spoiler reports are saying the two will be talking bridesmaids in the new season premiere. This conversation happens in-between the Boston story newsroom discussions.
The influence of the Genoa controversy in The Newsroom Season 2 is expected to be apparent in the new season premiere, which is about the Boston marathon bombing. The promo video shows an upset Will telling his crew to verify information before he reports on air.
"Meanwhile, an anonymous source contacts Neal about stolen government documents that may be related to overseas riots, Sloan looks into a possible takeover, and Maggie subs for Elliot following the Boston Marathon bombings," ends The Newsroom Season 3 premiere synopsis on TV.com.
Neal (Dev Patel) is manning the social media channels in connection to the Boston marathon bombing in the new season premiere. Sloan (Olivia Munn), meanwhile, has a bigger part in The Newsroom Season 3, says a RollingStone report. The promo video shows Sloan acting evasive when Don (Thomas Sadoski) asks about their dating status.
Maggie (Alison Pill) subbing for Elliott (David Harbour) is good news for the character, whose dynamic growth from The Newsroom Season 1 is one of the main arcs of the series. She fights her inner demons in Season 2, and this time it's not just about her romantic entanglements. In Season 3, viewers expect more signs of growth from Maggie.
Meanwhile, Jim (John Gallagher Jr.) and his new girlfriend Hallie (Grace Gummer) are expected to have more screentime in The Newsroom Season 3.
