The Ever-Pleasant Mr Bates is part of Dark Tides season 3, a collection of shorter shows that will be earing every other week over this year while we prepare for returning to Ernest and Allister in season 4. Mr Bates is a prequel series that expands the law and world of Dark Tides and begins building up to the next proper season of Dark Tides. This show has been created by Chester Lidden over the past year. There is no need to listen to the previous two seasons of Dark Tides to understand Mr Bates but it does help to have that knowledge.
