Life Series Season 8/ Special 3 Predictions
I FINALLY FINISHED EXAMS!! Hope you're all doing okay! Sorry I just completely disappeared off the face of the Earth... study has kept me extremely busy but I will def be drawing and online more now I actually have a LIFE and free time. anyways, onto the theories Xx
okay so… we KNOW there's most likely gonna be a season 8 of the life series right… bc grian's finale said "see you next time, sooner than(k) you might think".
(the k in grian's video is most likely a typo, but i included it just so my source is correct lol)
3rd Life (April 20th - June 9th, 2021)= 50 days
*~4 months
Last Life (September 21st - November 16th, 2021)= 56 days
*~7 months
Double Life (June 17th - July 22nd, 2022)= 35 days
*~7 months
Limited Life (March 3rd - April 21st, 2023)= 49 days
*~6 months
Secret Life (October 20th - December 15th, 2023)= 56 days
*~3.5 months
Real Life (April 1st, 2024)= 1 day
*~6.5 months
Wild Life (October 19th - December 7th, 2024)= 49 days
*~4 months
Simple Life (April 1st, 2025)= 1 day
*~3.5 months
Past Life (July 11th - August 29th, 2025)= 49 days
Obvi the 3rd special (if there is one) will be on april fools.
If season 8 was AFTER the special, there'd be roughly 7 months in between Past Life and the special. This isnt exactly out of the ordinary, and since Past Life was earlier in the year than usual the smaller gap COULD mean the gap before the special is larger.
HOWEVER
Grian said the next season might be "sooner than we think". If season 8 is AFTER the special, the gap between seasons would be quite large, following the trend. which is why i think that season 8 is going to BEFORE special 3, or very close after.
I believe Past Life was earlier than the new trend (having a Season, 6-7 months, special, 3-4 months, new season) because he brainstormed a bunch of ideas at once and already has planned the next season.
ofc, the special is normally released on april fools. its pretty common knowledge. you could say it's what most people THINK.
if grian has already planned ideas for the next few seasons, he could very well release them earlier than 7 months, release them "sooner than we think".
it's already been two months since past life ended, so far. seasons are usually around 50 days (7 weeks) long. theres roughly 215 days in between 29th August 2025 and 1st April 2026 (7 months).
So i think season 8 will either be very close after a 3rd (april fools) special, or happen before it (starting around mid december perhaps). but… that poses the issue of it disrupting the cc's christmas preparations and celebrations. so it'd be much easier if they could pre-record a single episode special for CHRISTMAS. if the idea is pre-planned out by grian, and they pre-record to release on christmas i think we'll see a new traffic life (mini) series SOONER THAN WE THINK. Merry Christmas Xx
(Comment your theories or points that you agree or disagree with!! the purpose of this post is to start a discussion, I am by no means saying "This is the exact date and no one can tell me I'm wrong!" because I am very aware I'm being optimistic and my WISH for the new series to come soon is definitely influencing that XD)
Edit: also... the holiday merch!?!
