Syfy Renews 'The Expanse' for Season 3, '12 Monkeys' for Final Year
The Expanse returned for season 2 in January, and has since impressed the higher-us at Syfy enough to earn itself a third season consisting of 13 episodes in 2018.
"The Expanse is a gorgeous, thrilling, emotional series that has quite simply raised the bar for science fiction on television," said Chris McCumber, president of entertainment networks at NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment, in a statement. "We, along with the fans, are looking forward to continuing the journey with our partners at Alcon Television Group and the series' brilliant cast and crew."
The Expanse takes place in a colonized galaxy 200 years in the future, when two strangers become swept up in a vast conspiracy. It is based on the New York Times best-selling novel series.
Additionally, Syfy has renewed 12 Monkeys for a fourth and final season, allowing for the creators to wind the series down to a natural conclusion.
“’12 Monkeys’ has a dedicated and enthusiastic fan-base thanks to the epic storytelling by Terry Matalas, and the stellar cast and crew,” said Jeff Wachtel, President, Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “We are thrilled to be able to offer fans an opportunity to binge the third season as a reward for their lasting support, and we couldn’t be more excited to see where Terry takes us with the final chapter of this fabulous story in the fourth season.”
“With its time-twisting themes and edge-of-your-seat storyline, ’12 Monkeys’ is the perfect show to air this way,” said Chris McCumber, President, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “It’s grown into a world well beyond the original film, and after seeing the creative strength of Season 3, we couldn’t wait to pick it up for a fourth season.”
