As we approach the end of The Celebrity Apprentice 2, NBC has announced that the show has been renewed for season 3. The Celebrity Apprentice 3 will air midseason next year, presumably around the same time it launched this year (March).

We’ll probably have to wait until early next year before learning who will be in the cast, but based on the not playing with a full deck Rivers duo we saw this season, I would expect to see at least one family duo.

“‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ is the ultimate business and reality show at the top of its game and has exploded in popularity this season while also raising an impressive amount of money for charity,” said Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, NBC and Universal Media Studios. “It’s a valuable franchise and proven competitor and we’re thrilled to have Mr. Trump and Mr. Burnett back to create another brilliant season.” ”

‘The Apprentice’ and ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ have been an amazing adventure for me and, obviously, a very popular show with the public,” said executive producer Donald Trump. “Its Emmy nominations and great success have translated into a wonderful experience. Working with Mark Burnett has been terrific, and I am greatly honored that NBC has renewed us for yet another season, our ninth.”
