Actor Nikita Kologrivy has been confirmed to join the cast in a leading role for the third season of the drama series Method, according to Kinopoisk via socialbites.ca. Kologrivy is set to portray a maniac nicknamed the Beast who hunts other criminals under the supervision of investigator Rodion Meglin, portrayed by Konstantin Khabensky. The Beast is described as a driving force on the team, a character who follows his own instincts rather than chessboard logic, and who keeps others at a wary distance. This blend of bold impulse and isolation promises to sharpen the show’s tension and deepen the psychological texture that fans have come to expect from the Method universe.
My hero gets everyone going, he is the driving force of the team, Kologrivy explained. He often does things intuitively, trusts instinct more than logic and does not trust people at all. That is why the Beast is so lonely; I would not want to be like that. The actor’s words hint at a character who triggers rapid shifts in group dynamics and forces colleagues to recalibrate their own approaches to crime solving and risk. Viewers can anticipate a performance that blends raw energy with a wary, almost solitary inner life, setting up dramatic clashes within the squad. This insight comes from notes shared by the production team and reporters covering the show, as reported by Kinopoisk via socialbites.ca.
Five years after the events of the second season, the new episodes reframe Meglin’s work style. He no longer works in isolation, instead assembling a team that understands the psychology of criminals from their own hard-won experiences. The group will navigate the moral gray areas that come with reactive justice, following methods that mix risk with insight. Into this mix enters Lera, played by Anna Savranskaya, whose arrival challenges existing loyalties as the team gradually decides whether her path aligns with theirs. The show’s creators tease a more intricate dynamic, where trust must be earned and roles within the unit are continually renegotiated as the narrative expands its exploration of motive, memory, and the human cost of policing through unconventional means.
Director Yuri Bykov and showrunner Maxim Polinsky oversee the new season, continuing their collaboration to push Method into more ambitious territory. Season 3 is planned for a 2025 release window, a timeline that reflects the production’s scope and the ambition to deliver a sharper, more cinematic crime drama. The creative team emphasizes realistic depictions of investigative work and the psychological complexity of each character, aiming to satisfy devoted fans while drawing in new viewers across North America. With the evolving cast and fresh dynamics, the series aims to explore the emotional stakes behind every case and the personal costs of living on the edge of order and chaos, while preserving the show’s signature tension between methodical procedure and instinctive response.
Earlier chatter among industry outlets referenced working titles Deadpool and Wolverine during discussions of the online cinema release date. As the project moves forward, producers and networks will decide how best to present the new season to audiences in Canada and the United States, while keeping the core tension of a tightly wound crime unit at the center of the story.
