But Hugh said she has not had the thumbs up on the third season yet. But, she has been thinking about it for a while now as she continued saying,

When I pitched to Apple and the buyers now five, six years.

She further continued by saying that she already has been pitched for the entire season to Apple. But, as of now, they are all waiting to see what happens next.
