It’s time to saddle up. Fall television is back in full swing. The year’s biggest, baddest shows are coming back around, and what perfect timing. The morning frost is beginning to settle in. The days are getting thinner by the day. The last, shimmering sunrays are nothing but nostalgic reminders of what once was. Soon pillowy snow will blanket the frozen earth, leaving no other option than to put on your sweater, light a fire and cozy up with your friends and family in front of your TV. Summer may be fleeting, but not all is lost.
Details on one of the fall’s most anticipated series, “Hart of Dixie,” have been scarce to say the least. But now as the Season 3 premiere approaches, fans are finally offered insight on what to expect.
As Zoe touches down in Bluebell, she’ll realize that it’s not the same quaint southern town that she left. Not only will her dynamic with Wade and George completely change, but a newcomer, Josh Cooke’s Joel, will shake up core friendships.
“With Joel in town… the five originals aren’t working together a whole heck of a lot,” Scott Porter, who plays George on the show, tells TVline. “George is a kind of a satellite around everyone else’s storyline, and so is Wade. We haven’t [worked] as much together this season as I would like, but I’m sure it’s all coming.”
Joel will also pose as a major love interest for Zoe and will stick around for a major arc. Although it’s not certain that Joel will spark romance in Zoe, his description as a “New Yorker moving to Bluebell” implies that Zoe may have no problem getting over Wade.
“Hart of Dixie” will return to The CW October 7.
