It’s official, season three of Amazon’s “Transparent” is scheduled to drop Sept. 23.

As the show’s new trailer reflects, the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning series continues its focus on a nuclear family whose patriarch, played by Jeffrey Tambor, has revealed his preference for wearing women’s clothes.

According to Amazon, the upcoming season has Maura Pfefferman (Tambor) exploring gender confirmation surgery.

Here’s more from Amazon on what you can expect:

Shelly relishes in her newfound love with Buzzy and finally discovers her voice – she’s going to tell her side of the story whether her family likes it or not. Meanwhile, Sarah and Ali embark on two different approaches to connecting to their spirituality. Sarah creates an East Side religious movement, but discovers that her own narcissism gets the best of her. Ali starts to have nitrous induced visions, causing her to question her career path and her relationship with Leslie. And Josh, disengaged from work and love, suffers from a harrowing loss that forces him to reconcile with his past once and for all. All paths converge on a family cruise to Mexico, affirming that though their family history is murky, each Pfefferman is their truest self when they come together.

The show also stars Judith Light, Gaby Hoffmann, Jay Duplass, Kathryn Hahn and Amy Landecker.
