With cricket as its backdrop, "Inside Edge" deals with power, money, fame and the mind games behind the sports scene. The series is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar's Excel Media & Entertainment.

According to a press release, the upcoming chapter of the sports drama will see 'the game behind the game' become more intriguing with a personal vendetta taking the centre stage.

The first season of the series, which premiered in 2017, focused on fixing and betting, while 2019's season two centred on doping in sports.

"Inside Edge" was Prime Video's first Indian Amazon Original series.

Aparna Purohit, Head of India Originals, Amazon Prime Video India, said the first one is always special.

"The International Emmys nominated series, Inside Edge was the first Indian Amazon Original that received immense appreciation, accolades and helped set a high bar for storytelling.

The show is also a first for Excel as it is the production house's first original with the streamer, he added. "Mirzapur" and "Made In Heaven" are the banner's other two collaborations with Prime Video.

"We are thrilled to chronicle the next gripping phase of the journey of Mumbai Mavericks, which will ultimately decide the fate of the team that has battled many odds.

"The third season of the Inside Edge franchise is a testament to the fact that we are committed to bringing our creative vision to life through interesting and innovative formats.
