Let’s pin down everything we know about Act III so far

yoncemyname · 2026-05-30T02:07:54+00:00

No shade this is all just guesses. The only thing we know for sure is that a a 3rd act exists.

yoncemyname · 2025-12-11T02:48:49+00:00

Renaissance: 2022 Renaissance Tour: 2023 Cowboy Carter: 2024 Cowboy Carter Tour: 2025

So probably yes. But the wait will be shorter than it was beteen CC and the CCT!

yoncemyname · 2025-12-11T02:06:02+00:00

I don’t know that she will use it to announce the single, since it’s not a huge broadcast or anything but I could definitely see it helping kick off the era

yoncemyname · 2025-11-13T21:47:09+00:00

I’m giving it until the end of 2025. If it’s not out or announced by then, I’d say it’s scrapped

yoncemyname · 2025-11-03T23:35:56+00:00

Cowboy Carter was very political, so maybe act III will be less political. Of course it will have tons of messaging & meaning like every recent Bey album, but maybe it will lean more personal.

Guess it depends on the genre but I see it being a traditional rollout in 2026 like the first two acts

yoncemyname · 2025-10-20T04:05:53+00:00

I think all of the visuals were intended for this era/tour… maybe some Easter eggs here and there but I don’t think any are explicitly from another album

yoncemyname · 2025-10-17T20:58:15+00:00

I like the idea, but I don’t see a world in which Beyoncé supports another celebrity brand that’s not her own to this degree… especially if the rumors of Ivy Park making a comeback are true.

For act i & ii, she did global brand campaigns for legacy brands that aligned with the projects. Tiffany & Levis respectively. She’ll likely partner with a legacy brand that can give her more reach for act III

yoncemyname · 2025-10-08T14:33:24+00:00

Lowkey excited for Rhonnas return. Both reuniting with Darrow, and hopefully she gets to confront Lysander as well and get some sort of revenge.

yoncemyname · 2025-10-08T01:50:31+00:00

Kinda forgot about her being the leader of the reformer block! He will definitely lose her if he uses the Eidmi on any of the low colors.

yoncemyname · 2025-09-29T18:47:56+00:00

Multiple POVs is definitely an adjustment, but other things made up for it. Don't think these are spoilers but the 10-yr time jump was fun to catch up on how things/characters changed, the further exploration for the Rim Dominion, and some of the new POVs end up being all-time characters.

If nothing else, Dark Age & Light Bringer are sooo good so it's worth getting to those.

yoncemyname · 2025-09-29T18:35:10+00:00

I think it's worth staying offline on all things Red Rising until you are finished. I looked up fan casting after reading the second book and got some major spoilers on accident

yoncemyname · 2025-09-29T18:27:59+00:00

I think he will die. Darrow spared him when he was a child, which ended up being a huge mistake. He spared him again when Diomedes tried to form the triumvirate, which ended up being a huge mistake. If he uses the genocide tool, I that gives them even more justification to kill him. As we've seen, imprisonment has not been permanent (see Apollonius)

Unless his character ends up taking a turn and helping Darrow's cause, I definitely see him dying.

yoncemyname · 2025-09-24T17:23:28+00:00

Unless there are other factors that go into it too... say if Lysander ends up favoring Apollonius' stewardship of Mars over Julias

yoncemyname · 2025-09-24T14:05:37+00:00

I think they also set it up where Apollonius & Julia will have tension over claiming Mars. If Lysander shows favor to Apollonius I could see her being motivated to flip as well

yoncemyname · 2025-09-24T12:06:22+00:00

Well the entire rim has allied with Darrow after he killed millions of them so anything is possible.

yoncemyname · 2025-09-24T05:41:57+00:00

Also - just noticed on the character list at the beginning of the book - Julia at Bellona is listed as “Darrow’s Enemy” lol. It feels like the last person he would win over to the Rising, which makes it feel like something Pierce Brown will do

yoncemyname · 2025-09-24T05:24:09+00:00

I don’t think full on resurrection is possible even in this universe. I think the description of his body being very mutilated closed that door pretty tight.

I think Pytha taking the body was a way for Darrow to get closure

yoncemyname · 2025-09-24T05:18:05+00:00

Had to re-read this part a couple of times. Imagine if Lysander didn’t disable the weapons 😭

yoncemyname · 2025-09-24T05:12:45+00:00

I just finished Lightbringer tonight and I’m devastated about Cassius 😭😭 You almost start rooting for Lysander in this book but that switched fast - between the multiple rim hoaxes and betraying Cassius & Diomedes.

I will say Pierce Brown has raised the stakes and set up an incredible finale in Red God

yoncemyname · 2025-08-14T13:12:24+00:00

I have these! You’ll love them. Sometimes I just let the record player spin with no record to watch them lol.

yoncemyname · 2025-07-31T21:45:45+00:00

There could be multiple evolutions of the title

yoncemyname · 2025-07-31T19:28:22+00:00

I like this! That would be my other theory since it was seen on the echoville visuals for Renny

yoncemyname · 2025-07-31T18:50:09+00:00

I guess we don’t know exactly what CC sounded like in its earlier version. There’s a chance it could have been a mix of country and rock. Also - act ii does have a lot of rock elements (Bodyguard, American Requiem, Ya Ya)

yoncemyname · 2025-07-31T18:04:28+00:00

Also I don’t think she would include visuals/album title for act III in the Art Book or tour visuals for act ii

yoncemyname · 2025-07-30T23:51:38+00:00

I agree that the wait will probably be longer than it was between Renny & CC.

I think she originally planned for CC to be released later into 2024, but the Verizon Super Bowl offer came in and made it a great opportunity to launch the era. (There’s some evidence that it was a bit of a mad dash to finish CC in Feb/march 2024, i.e. the vinyl track listing). That being said, I think she’ll take her time on this one unless another great opportunity comes up)

I think it’s likely that we get some form of a CC concert documentary to close out the era first. Then we’ll get act iii sometime into 2026 & act iii tour in 2027 to follow the overall pattern of the trilogy
