    • Production

    Every episode of this season was 21 minutes long, as opposed to the 11 minute episodes from season one and two. Show creator Brendon Small wanted to use this extra air time to focus on character development and giving several main characters an episode dedicated to them. This was also the first season to be upgraded to the HDTV picture format and to be released on Blu-ray.

    Comedian Brian Posehn helped write an episode this season; he would later go on to become a main writer for season four.

    This was the first Metalocalypse home media release to be uncensored.
