Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, Apple TV+ drama series Dickinson returns for a third and final season.

In the period drama, True Grit’s Hailee Steinfeld reprises her title role as one of America’s most famous poets, the reclusive Emily Dickinson, born in 1830.

Less than a dozen of Dickinson’s groundbreaking poems were published during her lifetime, but a cache of over 1,8000 poems were discovered and published after her death in 1886. Dickinson is now remembered as one the world’s most well-known poets.

In the recently released trailer, we see Emily and her family grapple with the violence the American Civil War has wreakedon their country. “With her world at war, words are all Emily has,” the official Apple TV synopsis teases.
